Patrick Jackson passed away at Virginia Mason Hospital from cardiac problems and cancer.

He was born in Aberdeen, Washington, to Albert and Patricia Jackson and grew up on the family homestead between Neilton and Humptulips. He attended Quinault High School and enjoyed playing football for the Quinault Elks. He attended Grays Harbor College and then joined the U.S. Navy and spent time in Subic Bay in the Philippines. He joined his family in Port Angeles, Washington, in the shake and shingle business and later became a millwright-welder for another company.

Patrick was an avid NASCAR and drag racing fan. He spent his teen years driving fast cars on Highway 101 and he loved it when local law enforcement would give chase without success, a common activity during those 1950s and ‘60s when there was no other entertainment.

After his military service, he returned to the Harbor and married Rebecca (Barker) Jackson at the end of 1968. They resided in Port Angeles until his death. He is survived by his former wife and brothers Bruce, Tom and Paul, sisters Kathy, Penny and Teresa and sons, Michael, Nathan and Brian.
