Pat was born on October 12, 1964 in Akron IA, to Tom and Barb (Neal) Dennison.  He lived in Westfield until he was 4.  The family then moved to the family farm 7 miles south of Westfield.  It’s there where his love of farming began.  Pat grew up hunting, trapping, fishing and working on the farm with his brothers and sisters.  He attended school in Westfield and graduated from Akron-Westfield in 1983.  While in school, he participated in baseball and basketball.  After graduation, he started farming with his Dad and continued to farm until his death.  He married Kelley Thacker in August of 2006 and they have remained friends.

Pat served as a trustee for the Sioux Township of Plymouth County for many years.  He enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening, cooking and spending time with his family and pets.  He was a lifelong Notre Dame fan.

Pat was deeply loved by all of his nieces and nephews who grew up following him around the farm.
