He was a forever Cleveland Browns fan, always exciting to watch the games with him as many a hat and expletives were thrown. Several years ago, Patrick became involved with TNR, he saved many a cat.

In addition to his parents, Patrick is preceded in death by three brothers,  Michael, Thomas and Eddie Devitt.

Patrick leaves behind his son,  Forrest Thomas Devitt of Oklahoma; sisters, Pamela Devitt, Anna (Todd) Kistner; two nephews, Aaron and Adam Kistner all of Canton; his loving girlfriend, Kathy Turner of New Franklin; and his fur babies.
