David Lee Patterson, 66, of Ivydale, WV entered into his eternal home on Sunday, October 13, 2024, at home surrounded by his family.

He was born on October 15, 1957, in Charleston, West Virginia to the late Fred Patterson and Betty Jean Hamrick Rose.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters, Diana McCormick, and Cheryl Parks; brothers, Rodney Patterson and John Patterson; and special sister-in-law, Brenda “Bunny” Patterson.

Dave’s larger than life personality shined through with everything he did. His passion was spending time with his sons and grandson. He enjoyed camping at Groves Creek in Duck with his family. Riding his motorcycles was his favorite pastime. He thoroughly enjoyed riding with his sons on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Dave liked to play his music loud and drive his trucks fast. He was employed most of his life driving trucks for various companies.

Left to cherish his memories are his sons, David “Matt” Patterson and wife, Amanda, of Elkin, North Carolina, and Josh Patterson also of Elkin, North Carolina; grandson, Samuel Patterson; brother, Mike Patterson; sisters, Sandra Patterson, Jolene Belt and Debbie Hamrick; stepfather, Joseph Rose; and special friend and caregiver, Vicky Mayfield.

In keeping with Dave’s wishes, he will be cremated and there will be a private service held at a later date.
