Patrick “Pat” Burgess

February 8, 1995 – August 12, 2025

Patrick “Pat” Burgess, 30, of Nashville, TN, passed away on August 12, 2025. Born on February 8, 1995, Pat was a beloved son, fiancé, brother, uncle, grandson, and friend whose vibrant spirit touched everyone he met.

Patrick is survived by his mother, Anna Kenney (Brett); father, Joe Burgess (Leshia); fiancée, Mallory Himsl; sister, Megan Gunno (John); brother, Dustin Kirby; grandmother, Barbara Jarrell; uncle, Steve Burgess; aunt, Peggy Howe (Ron); aunt, Marybeth Winter; nieces, Khloe Kirby and Ariana Gunno; nephews, Charlie Gunno and Oliver Gunno; and his loyal dog, Xena. He was preceded in death by loved ones who now welcome him home.

A proud United States Marine Corps veteran, Patrick served his country with honor before building a successful career as an industrial mechanic. Beyond his work, he was a talented guitar player whose passion for music was matched only by his devotion to his family and friends.

Pat’s hobbies always revolved around music, but his true gift was the way he gave of himself. He was caring, loving, loyal, hardworking, and truly sunshine in human form. Whether offering a helping hand, sharing a laugh, or simply being present, Pat made life brighter for those around him.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at Western Hills Church, 7565 Charlotte Pike, Nashville, TN 37209, with Johnathan McElhaney officiating. Visitation with the family will be held on Saturday prior to the service from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at Western Hills Church.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Operation Stand Down Nashville, which provides vital social services to veterans of the United States Armed Forces, including employment services, transitional housing referrals, and coordination of veteran support programs.

  22. Anna, I am deeply sorry for your loss. Thanks for bringing Patrick to the hospital where I met him. He was so very nice to me. And he gave me a very nice hug. I will never forget praying for him when he was in the military. I promise to keep you and your loving family in my prayers. I love all of you.

  23. There are not any words big enough for this type of loss. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Pat. He made Mallory the happiest I’ve ever seen her! And while I didn’t know him well, I could tell he had an amazing spirit, and was such a genuine person. This is so unfair. Pat’s life matters so much and this should have never happened. I love you so much Mallory and I am here for you and Zena always. I know Jamie and little Baxter welcomed Pat to heaven and they will all look over you forever.

  27. I will never forget the songs we made together and how we helped each other and some of our darkest hours and I consider you a reason I am alive today. I’m devastated. We didn’t get to reconnect. I just messaged you last month was really looking forward to seeing you again. I’ll forever regret that I didn’t make more of an effort to see you again. You’ll be dearly missed
