Patrick Dewayne Bolian, affectionately known as "Big Pat," was born to Dorthy Charles and Alex Brisco on February 26, 1972.
Pat resided in Portland, Oregon, and attended Marshall High School. He later moved to Slidell, where he was employed with Powell Construction Company.
Pat loved spending time with family and cooking. He was a master griller on the barbecue for everyone. Pat enjoyed shooting pool, and one of his favorite pastimes was calling Geraldine to talk for hours, making her listen to all he had to say. He would then text Cynthia as much as he could. When his brother spoke to him about the Lord, Pat would always find solace beneath a tree.
Pat is preceded in death by his brother, Leeolice; his sister, Alice; his grandmother, Alice; his mother, Dorthy Charles; his father, Alex Brisco; Clyde Bolian; his aunts, Nora Bell, Nathere Lee, Willie Mae, and Diane; and his stepbrothers, Eddie, Willie, Alma, and Andrew Brisco.
Pat leaves to cherish his precious memories: his siblings, Theodore (Dorthy B.) Charles, Geraldine (Earl) Fleming, and Cynthia Bolian, as well as 32 nieces and nephews. He is also survived by Uncle Oscar (Ethel Mae) Durce, Uncle Dale (Ann) Durce, Uncle Jessie Water Sr., and Aunt Laura Mae Brisco.
