Mike, Tamara and family,

At this time, so many thoughts and emotions fill all of us who were acquainted with Patrick. Please know that, with you, we are celebrating all of the good things we came to know and love about Patrick. It was a joy to know him, to watch him grow and to have the pleasure of being his neighbor.

Our family is praying that God will grant each of you peace, grace and strength in the coming days and weeks.

Sadness and loss will be pushed aside by appreciation and thanks over time. Appreciation for a poised young man and thanks for the accomplishments of his life. But sadness and loss will be constant companions for family and friends,

We met Patrick when he was a youngster playing Saints Baseball. In meeting Patrick, we met the whole Karamitros clan. What a pleasure for us and our hope is those memories provide smiles and comfort to that clan.

As years passed we ran into Patrick at various outings. It was easy to see Patrick growing into a young man that was determined to help others, even to the point of saving lives. Kind, considerate and humble were attributes that described Patrick as a boy and as a young man.

May God Bless him and Keep him and Hold him in love. And may the family be touched by God's Blessings through the kindnesses of others, kindnesses that so reflect the very nature of Patrick.

Peace be upon you.

To the Karamitros family:

I never had the privilege of meeting Patrick but I feel I know Patrick because he is apart of the swimming community.

"Those we hold most dear, never truly leave us, they live on in the smiles they shared, the comfort they showed, and the love they brought into our lives".

Please accept my condolences on your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I hope that comfort and peace come to you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the what your family is going through. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking and praying for your family through this tough time. I am Anne and Bob Gaskill's niece.

Dear Mike, Tamara, family and friends;

I want to wish you all my deepest sympathy. Patrick was much too young to be taken from you, but I know you have strong faith and I'm sure God will help you find your way through this difficult time. I am out of the country on business this week, so I will not be stopping in to see you. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you all. Take care.

Karamitros family, I am sorry for your loss. Pat was a great kid. My son, Troy Neagle and Pat were friends in school. You are all in my prayers.

Words can not express the pain we feel for your loss of Patrick. Be proud of the great young man he became at such a young age, and the lives he touched during that time. He will be missed and you are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all in this difficult time of loss.

Words seem shallow at a time like this but they are all we have to offer. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family, especially Katie, who I had the pleasure to teach in seventh grade. My God carried you during this time of sorrow.

Mike, Tamara, Katie, Alex and Chris, my deepest sympathy goes out to you. Our prayers go out to you for healing, comfort and peace that only our Lord can provide in this time of mourning.

Ther is no easy way to process the death of a son. We lost ours two years ago. If you would like to talk please call. He looks like a sweet young man who was a hard worker. I'm praying for your family. We attend New Covenant.

Patrick was a wonderful young man and that's a testimony to the way he was brought up and the work of Christ in his heart. Sherrie and I mourn with you as you mourn but we are reminded of the following verse: Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. INSERT INTO guestbook VALUES (Ps 30:5) We pray that you will know the peace of Christ in the midst of your grieving and that you will remember that the joy of the Lord is your strength.

My heartfelt deepest sympathy to your family at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Marty Jarvie

Mr.&Mrs. Karamitros:
I am truly sorry for the loss of your son. He was in my class of Drivers Education this past spring semester. He stood out from the first class as a great person and student. I pray for your family dealing with this unexpected loss. May God give you peace and the ability to cope. I miss him and I am thankful I had to opportunity to know him and be around him.
Steve LIndell and family

To the Karamitros Family:
I cannot fathom the loss you must feel. Patrick was such a fine young man. The wonderful memories of his 16+ years must help sustain you. I count it as a special privilege to have been his golf coach. May God bless all of you.

Our condolences and love to your family for the loss of Patrick. May our Father God in the name of Jesus Christ cover you with comfort, strength, and peace.

Karamitros Family - I cannot imagine your grief and loss at this time. But I know, from the time I knew Mike at MCI, I know your faith is incredibly strong, and stands on a firm foundation. I pray that you will all find peace, comfort and strength in God's mighty power in the days to come, and that you will have the chance to rejoice that Patrick is safe in HIS arms.

I want the Karamitros family to know that I am very, very sorry for your loss. As a parent who continues to live with the loss of a child INSERT INTO guestbook VALUES (Nov.,2008) I am testimony to the reality that the spirit is eternal. Our lives may never be quite the same, but we will continue to remain the great people we are. This is because we were able to produce and experience great sons, who were selected to be with the Lord.

My heart goes out to the Karamitros family.

I still find this hard to believe. The news of Patrick's passing brought automatic tears to my eyes. Though I only knew him for a few months, I could tell he was a very nice & bright young man. He sat behind me in math class & I remember always being able to turn around & get help on homework from him. R.I.P Patrick, you're missed dearly.

I Love You

No words...

They say "The Good Die Young".
I first met Patrick freshmen yr. during 2nd hr Spanish 1. We used to always laugh at how the words were pronounced, and of course he was always there to help me out when I needed it.
Sophomore yr, I would always hang on to every words he said when he gave his speech. He was always ready to go, and had something attention grabbing to talk about. For the whole trimester that we sat next to eachother, we joked and laughed.
Its sad to know that his gone so soon, and he truly will be missed by many. All my heart goes out to the family. His peacefully in heaven now.

We are saddened to hear about Patricks passing. Our prayers go out to you Tamara and to your family. Although we did not know Patrick, it is easy to see by the words shared that he was a wonderful person who has been a great blessing to everyone he came in contact with. God Bless

Mike, Tamara, Katie, Alex and Chris-
We are saddened to hear of Patrick's passing. May you all find strength in the memories and the love for life he had. He was a young man who left the world a better place because he was in it. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Clayton, Kim, JC and Lindsay Parks

Tammy and family,
My sister Jill and I attended St. Basil's school with you and Tara. I was so sad when I saw Patrick's obituary in the Herald Palladium. I have also lost a child, so I can truly understand some of the heartbreak you are feeling. Please know that others are holding you up in prayer so that someday soon you will be able to experience comfort and peace. I know you will cherish the memories of your son - it sounds like he was a wonderful young man.
