Patrick Shea was born and raised in Cheney, Washington.  Marrying his high school sweetheart, Julie, they raised their 3 children on the family farm outside of Cheney.  Patrick loved Jesus, time with family including 5 grandkids, people, music, classic cars and BBQ; he was always busy with a project of his own or helping someone else with theirs’.

In 2020 Pat was diagnosed with ALS and passed away 2/24/2022. After his diagnosis he continued to be a bright life in the lives of those he was around. Still helping where he could, giving counsel to his family, and inspiring people to choose joy no matter life’s circumstances. The day he passed he was making jokes, made sure his family knew they were loved, and passed with a smile on his face. If he could tell you anything it would be, “Choose Joy,” and “Life’s too short to eat bad food.”

Money donated in his honor will go to the ALS Foundation for research. There will be No White Flags in the process of finding better treatments and a cure for ALS patients in the future. 

We need to let people with ALS know they are not alone.  ALS affects more than nerve cells and muscles, it affects families, friends, co-workers, and communities. 

With no known cause or cure, ALS challenges the human spirit and tests the courage of everyone touched by this devastating disease.

However, we can work together to create a Community of Hope that restores dreams and builds courage.  Our community gives strength and hope to our loved ones, neighbors, and friends facing the fear and uncertainty of ALS.

Your gifts will make this possible.  Please click the donation button to the right and give generously.
