SSgt. Patrick R. Griffin, was a die-hard New York Giants Football fan. Besides his family, he loved playing video games, fast cars, dirt bikes, music, Star Wars, playing his bass clarinet and was an avid motorcycle rider. Valhalla!
SSgt. Patrick Griffin was always mentoring fellow Marines and he wore his uniform with respect, dignity, and honor. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. His magnetic personality and smile was pure magic that lit up a room, and he never met a stranger. He was an amazing husband, father, son, sibling, friend, and Marine. He was full of life and always had the ability to make people laugh by movie quotes and making jokes. Family and friends have lost a truly special person, but heaven gained one heck of a Marine, Ooh Rah!
