It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Hector Manuel Patino Jr. of Tucson, AZ
on November 1st, 2023 at the age of 58. He arrived into this world on March 16th, 1965, in
California, the second born to the Late Hector Manuel Patino Sr. and Late Maria Patino.

He is survived by his two daughters Tiana Patino and Alisandra Patino of London, England,
sister Lisa Patino of Tucson, AZ, Brothers Gabriel Patino of Tucson, AZ and Tomas Patino of
Tucson AZ, Tio Gildardo Patino (wife Carmen) of Tucson, AZ, Tia Carlota Richmond (husband
Walter) of Kingman, AZ, they are longest living member of his paternal family, Tia Hortencia
Carrillo of Pirtleville, AZ the longest living maternal family member, His cousin Diana Clark
(husband Michael) of Douglas AZ, as well as are many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Hector called home to many places during his life, London, California, Hawaii, and Arizona just
to name a few. He returned to Arizona in 2021 where his cousins Diana and Michael helped to
care for him.

Hector loved all sports, he often would reminisce about his younger years playing baseball,
whether it was his Father and him playing catch or when his mom would spend hours pitching to
him. He loved to watch the Raiders and the Oakland A's any chance he had and the U of A
Wildcats. Hector was very well known for his stories. He loved to share tales of the adventures
he had in his life. He found pleasure in cooking, and sharing his masterpieces with his loved
ones.

Hector was a master pyrotechnician, which took him to many places around the world. The
firework shows he helped to create were nothing short of amazing. His greatest
accomplishments, though, were his daughters. He often shared how proud he was of them and
their accomplishments.

Hector was very headstrong at times but was also very giving. He
donated his body to Research for Life, he wanted to help and give all he had.

Hector will be remembered for this love of sports, his amazing cooking, but most of all his
remarkable ability to tell stories. He was larger than life, he loved fiercely and deeply, we take
comfort in knowing Hector is now at peace and surrounded by the light of the Lord.
