BRADFORD, VT - Patrick Harrigan passed away suddenly on January 29, 2026, at the age of 65.

Patrick was a truly extraordinary man, deeply loved by many. A devoted husband, loving father, and proud grandfather, he carried these roles with profound joy and unwavering commitment. Full of life and larger than life itself, Patrick touched more people than he ever realized, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, courage, humor, and love.

Patrick was no stranger to life's struggles. He faced even the hardest battles with grit, resilience, and an unbreakable spirit-often tempered with humor. A consummate business professional in the legal publishing industry, Patrick took great pride in his work and believed in showing up and giving his best. His colleagues mourn the loss of not only a respected professional, but also a trusted coworker and friend. Known for his warmth and wit, Patrick had a rare ability to connect with everyone he met, often surprising those around him by bringing humor and humanity into every meeting. His friends felt his friendship and support and miss him deeply 

Above all else, Patrick loved his family. He was the cherished soulmate of his wife, Theressa, with whom he shared a deep and enduring bond. He adored his children, Brendan, Jessica, and Benjamin Harrigan, and his grandson, Sam. Patrick was their protector, storyteller, and steady presence. To be loved by him was to be supported, encouraged, and never alone.

Though Patrick is gone, his impact remains-in the lives he shaped, the battles he bravely fought, the music he played, and the love he gave so generously. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

In Lieu of flowers, donations can be made to LifeFlight of Maine or the Vermont Foodbank in Patrick's memory. 

A Celebration of Life will be held on February 21st from 10:30am to 12:30pm, with reception to follow, at St. Andrews Church in St. Johnsbury, Vt.
