His partner apparently passed away in 2009.  This gives a little more insight into why he lived alone for the time we all knew him.  He had such a big heart to help out those around him that shared his passion for motorcycling.

I really hope someone is taking care of his cats, and his estate with the same love and care that he put into all of those things he surrounded himself with.

Wow, such an interesting story unfolds.  Thanks guys.

Apparently a guy wrote a book about how to sell ideas to hollywood, and included a story about when he bought a young Patrick's life story as a movie idea!

I couldn't figure out if the movie was ever made, because the book preview cut off the pertinent pages .

Another article about the gymastics story and following up on the movie.  Best part is when he won a Luke Skywalker look alike contest!
