Mike was born January 6, 1972 in Des Moines, Iowa to William and Gloria Patterson. His family was his whole world; he was the greatest husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend you could ask for.

He took pride working side-by-side with Conor as an Ironworker. He and Natalie loved spending quality time together. Mike’s true love and passion was for his family and he showed it every day of his life. Mike enjoyed spending time outdoors with Dave and Julie, hunting, fishing and boating with family and friends and golfing with his father-in-law John. He was a proud member of Ironworkers Local 67 and a loyal Steelers fan.
He is survived by his wife, Natalie; children, Conor, Jonnae, and Lani; siblings, Dave (Misty) Patterson and Julie (Rick) Dowell; in-laws, John (Hannah) Rivera and Cheryl (Keith) McGlothlen; nieces and nephews, Dyllon, Danielle, Bodey, Devon, Dax, Presley, Chase, Gracee, Nicole (Miles), and Audrey; and many extended family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Gloria Patterson and his brother-in-law, Johnny Rivera.

It is with deep sympathy to Mikes family the loss of a great father and man. I had the pleasure to work with him close to a decade and it was obvious of his commitment to those he loved. He always had a good outlook and gave great effort. May god bless all that will miss Mike in times of sorrow.
