Obituary for Charles Patrick
Charles Havres Patrick went home to be with the Lord on August 18, 2016. He was born April 1, 1926 in Forkville, MS. He is survived by his wife of 65 years, JoAnn (Bright); his daughter Riche Louviere and husband Ason; his son Anthony Patrick and wife Beth; daughter-in-law Jean Patrick; his grandchildren Amber (Louviere) Johnson and husband Kevin; Thomas Louviere; Riley and Reese Patrick; a sister Shirley Merchant, sister-in-law Louise Spann and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his son, 55 year-old Joe Havres Patrick; parents Charlie and Ida (Wallace) Patrick; brothers Therman Patrick and wife Carol; James Patrick and wife Lurra Lee; Barney Patrick; sisters Bessie Moore; Gladys Nutt and husband Otto; Aline Bankston and husband Henry; Janelle Rogers and husband Benny; brother-in-law George Merchant.
As a young man he played baseball, a sport he loved and demonstrated skills with high potential. Then World War II called all young men for service. As a 17 year-old he joined the Army, serving with ground troops in Europe. He experienced all the horrors of war with frozen feet and served with General Patton when they went into prison camps for evacuation of the prisoners. After his service he was employed at Talon Zipper factory in Morton, MS as a supervisor. As a production manager, he helped open a plant in Durant, MS. In 1969, he moved his family to Irving, TX to manage a customer service unit for Talon where he remained until his retirement. After retiring from Talon, he continued to work for a number of years as an accountant.
