Patrick Lee Lougheed, age 61, passed away peacefully October 29, 2020 after a tough battle with cancer. He was born March 1, 1959 in Flint, Michigan to Walter and Judy Lougheed. Pat grew up in South Florida after his family moved to Ft Lauderdale/Miami in 1967. He graduated from Miami Norland Senior High and began his life adventures by joining the US Navy. Pat sailed the seas as a Boatswain’s Mate on the USS Luce. After his service tour he began working for Publix Supermarkets as a Warehouse Associate. Pat worked in a variety of positions across Florida in the Publix distribution centers in Miami, Boynton Beach, and Orlando. Pat earned numerous awards and accolades for his hard work and innovative approaches to improving the Publix distribution process for the southeast United States. Upon retiring from Publix Pat achieved his dream by living on a 55-foot houseboat in Key West, Florida. He taunted his brothers about how he ‘won’ the race of life by living in a tranquil marina on Stock Island, FL with his cat Jake. His many great friends in Key West became his second family. Pat will always be remembered for his kind and generous heart. Throughout his life he was able to come alongside his friends and family to give whatever he could whenever he saw a need. He always tried to make the world a little better place for those around him. Those whose hearts he touched will never forget him. Pat loved telling stories, eating peel-and-eat shrimp, growing chili peppers, grilling amazing chicken, shooting guns, making hot sauce, lighting fireworks, telling inappropriate jokes, teasing his brothers, flirting with women, collecting pirate gear, and coaxing everyone around him to smile and laugh. His three siblings Bob, Marty, and Kirk and their respective spouses Merrill, Barbara, and Debbie survive Pat. Pat was also very close to his stepsisters Winnie Patricoski, her spouse Mark, and Cathy Slade. He was also a kindred spirit to his stepbrothers Andy Putnam, his spouse Nancy, and Jim Putnam, his spouse Susan. Pat is also survived by a great group of nephews and nieces, who will always remember him as their “Fun” Uncle. Pat did not want a memorial service but rather an informal wake with friends and family, which is being planned for some time in 2021.
