Patrick Neal Laporte passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 29, 2021, with his family at his side. Patrick was born on May 28, 1965, to Aldrick and Dorothy (Lancaster) LaPorte.

Pat was one of a kind, he had an enormous heart and was a prankster who loved to make others smile. In his younger days, Pat worked at Thompson Boat, then at Rose Lumber Company. Later in life he stayed home and took care of his mother, Dorothy. Pat enjoyed spending time with family, especially his niece and nephew Jerzey and Judzyn, or his sunshine as he referred to them.

Left to cherish his memory are his four brothers, two sisters and their spouses: Michael and Mary Kay Laporte, Ronnie and Melinda LaPorte, Tom and Kathy LaPorte, Louis and Louann LaPorte, Diane Laporte and Donna Boers. Also surviving are many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents: Aldrick and Dorothy; two brothers: Aldrick LaPorte, Jimmy LaPorte; two sisters: Dorothy Ann Gohm and Karen Ebach.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mary's Home Health Care for taking excellent care of Pat for many years while he was at home. The Care Team Hospice and the amazing staff of Plainview Assisted Living, Auburn for the outstanding and compassionate care they provided Pat in his final months.

Honoring Patrick's wishes, cremation has taken place. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted with W. L. Case and Company Funeral Chapel.
