He was born on Thursday, December 11, 1924, in Dallas, Texas and grew up in Wichita Falls, Texas.

They married in 1946, moved to Albuquerque in 1950 and were married for 72 years. They had nine children, Trish, Mark, Beth, Roseann, Jim, Mary, Mike, Charlotte, and KC.

Pat was a husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many. He was an entrepreneur and owned Pat Goodwins Office Equipment for 45 years. He was a man of few words but had a generous heart and sly sense of humor. He has been referred to by friends as an Albuquerque icon, a true gentleman and a champion for his family. There was little he wouldn't do for his family and friends. He will be missed dearly by all that knew him. His legacy of family, grit, courage, and determination will live on in those who were fortunate enough to know him.
