Above all, Patrick loved his family deeply. He had a special bond with his mom, Nancy, whose love and support meant everything to him.<\/p>\n
Patrick was a proud father. He took immense joy in watching his daughter, Caroline; perform whether in a recital, a theater production, or a special vocal performance. Patrick was always the proudest parent in the room. He was a constant presence on the sidelines, cheering passionately for his son, Chip, as he played sports year-round. Whether he was coaching or in the stands, Patrick\u2019s commitment to supporting Chip and his teammates was steadfast.<\/p>\n
A graduate of Western Carolina University, Patrick had great love for the Western North Carolina Mountains. His \u201cCatamount Pride\u201d was unmistakable, and he could often be seen wearing his signature purple socks.<\/p>\n
In his professional life, Patrick was known for his ability to connect with others. He was a trusted colleague, always willing to lend a hand or offer guidance when needed.<\/p>\n
Patrick was preceded in death by his father, Howard Hendren; and his brother, Spencer Neal Hendren. He is survived by his mother, Nancy Jackson Hendren; (Harold Robinson); his wife, Paige Lyerly Hendren; and his children, Caroline Elizabeth Hendren and Patrick Jay Hendren, Jr. (Chip).
