of Jonesboro, AR
May 14, 1962 - July 25, 2022
William Patrick "Pat" McNamee, of Jonesboro, graced this earth with his presence from May 14, 1962 until July 25, 2022 at the age of 60. Pat was one of the most compassionate souls to ever walk the earth. Pat was no ordinary man, husband, father (father-in-law) or grandfather. Pat was best friend and protector to his loving wife. He was best friends with his sons. He was a doting grandfather.
Pat received his Electronics Associates Degree from Arapaho College in Denver and went on to master every craft that he touched. Pat began working at SignMaster of Jonesboro in 1985 and had climbed the ranks to plant manager by the time he left in 1999. Pat would give anyone the shirt off his back, whether family, friend, stranger or foe.
Pat fought like a champion, but lost the battle on July 25. He was surrounded by loved ones.
Pat was preceded in death by his parents, William "Bill" Thomas McNamee and Grace (Elrod) McNamee.
Pat leaves behind his wife, Sheila; sons, William Patrick II (Rachel) and Timothy (Brittney); grandchildren, Carissa (Aaron), Cannon, Austin, Rylan and Kaydence; soon to arrive great granddaughter, Baylen and siblings, Michael Perry (Olga), Phyllis Kendrick (Danny) and Tim McNamee (Reba). Pat also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, who absolutely adored him. Pat was a great man and will be missed by so many.
A memorial service will be held on Sunday, July 31, at Roller-Farmers Union Funeral Home, 1900 W. Washington Avenue in Jonesboro. There will be a visitation with friends and family from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm, with a memorial service beginning at 3:00 pm.

Pat and I have been together since we were 15 year's old. I knew I was going to marry him the first time I saw him. We had an amazing life together with our boys. Pat and I weren't just husband and wife, we were best friends. He was one of the most intelligent people I had ever met. He was a simple man, which made him who he was. He didn't care about monetary things, just his family and friends. I thank God for the 45 year's we were blessed with. Half of my heart is now gone, but he will live forever in the other half. I will love you forever babe, and I'll see you soon.🥰💖

I will miss Pat calling me big sis. When he met my baby sister he said I'm going to marry her. They had a happy life together and had two great sons. He put up a good fight. My daughters loved and adored him. They had a lot of good memories with him. We will miss him.

To Pat: I have so many wonderful, crazy memories of us growing up together. I will always be able to hear your voice as you explained things, told a story or had a good laugh. You were always somehow bigger than life to me. You had an energy and enthusiasm as you sought to understand people and things. It impacted me more than I realized, and had a big influence on the course of my life after knowing you. I thank you my dear friend, cousin (like a brother) for the memories, the influence, teaching me to be a Rocker!, and always having my back. I will love and remember you always. A beautiful soul is never forgotten. Rest in peace my dear one.

Pat loved his mother-in-law, Ruby Whitenton, and his sister-in-law, Anita Barnes. They are visiting again with our Heavenly Father with a pain free, worry free, and wonderful new body that will never die. God bless them all. Can’t wait to see them all again.

I will forever remember Pat as a father figure to me and I will always remember his charisma and the love for his family. Thank you and Sheila for taking me in as one of your own during my teenage years. And ultimately, thank you for giving me a life long friend in your son Patrick.
