YHC had to celebrate the best man I’ll ever know, my father, this morning. Today would have been his 64th birthday. Unfortunately, earlier this year, we lost my Dad. He passed suddenly a few weeks before welcoming YHC’s 2.0 to the world. Dad lived his life with every intent to make it past the age of 63, the age his father passed.

The man, who always lived his life by the numbers (an accountant by trade), could never quantify outreach and impact on he had on his family, friends and community. Blessings, new (and unheard) stories of Dad and ways to honor his legacy show up daily; YHC’s favorite being my 2.0 shares his grandfather’s smile. Because my father would never boast about his numbers, YHC will:

• Countless memories of Fall dictated by football seasons and tailgates, him taking over a dance floor at a wedding, learning as a youngster that cooking/grilling time is measured by beers consumed …for always being there for no matter what life brought
• 200+ employees and their families – a number he and his business partners served daily. The number he thought about every night before going to bed.
• 40+ years of marriage to my mother, a partnership that took care of everything for their 3 kids and future grandchildren
• 29+ years at his final place of employment, a place he and his partners built from the original 12 employees to over 200+ strong. Part of his legacy spearheading an ESOP sale and transition from the partners to the employees a couple years ago.
• Youngest of 5 siblings, a brotherhood that built YHC’s father into the man he’ll always be: tough as nails, compassionate, a servant leader, YHC’s North Star.

64 will forever be your number, Dad. You wore it on the gridiron. You shot it once on the links. You served nearly 64 trips around the sun as our family’s shepherd. You owned it.

Since January 14th, it’s been my honor it to go serve and own it for the next 64.

Thanks for letting me serve and share today, Fellas.

Here’s to Will Patterson. We love and miss you, Dad.
