of Conway, AR

January 10, 1942 - April 20, 2025

Ernest "Ernie" Lynn Patrick, 83, of Conway, Arkansas, peacefully passed into his Heavenly home on Easter Sunday, April 20, 2025. Born on January 10, 1942, Ernie often said his true life began when he met the love of his life, his shining star, Brenda Kay Hunt, in 1962.

A proud United States Army veteran and member of the Army Reserves, Ernie served his country with honor and dedication. A man of many passions, Ernie could always be found working on his jeeps, riding his motorcycle, or enjoying his beloved Elvis music (and sharing his admiration for the King with anyone who would listen). Above all, he cherished the time spent with his family. Ernie was a devoted, loving father, Pawpaw, and Great-Pawpaw who was always present for his loved ones. He was a proud member of Antioch Baptist Church in Conway, AR.

Ernie is preceded in death by his parents, Lennie Delores (Cox) and Bennie Francis Patrick; his wife, Brenda Kay (Hunt) Patrick; his brother, Larry David Patrick; and his grandson, Stephen Craig Patrick. He is survived by his sister, Marie Jordan of Conway; his daughter, Renee Little (Neil); his son, Christopher Patrick; three grandchildren, Kayleigh Smith (Ryan) of Conway, Hunter Little (Nicole) of Maumelle and Maddison Patrick of Texas; and one great-grandchild, Kelley James Smith of Conway.

Visitation will be held at Antioch Baptist Church in Conway, AR, on Wednesday, April 23, at 10:00 AM with a memorial service immediately following at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
