Dane Patrick Patterson, age 54, of Heath, Ohio, passed away Friday, October 24, 2025.
He was born in Jasper, IN on March 3, 1971, to Imogene (Merkley) and the late Robert Patterson.
One of Dane’s most endearing qualities was his unwavering selflessness; he consistently put the needs of his family and others before his own. He was an avid baseball fan, coach, and served as Treasurer and Board Member of the Athletics Baseball Association in Newark. He held close to him the years that he spent managing a pet store in Jasper and spending time with his African Grey Parrot, he enjoyed raising Tropical Angelfish throughout his life, keeping an immaculate lawn, and engineering a choreographed light display on the family’s home every Christmas for the community to enjoy.
In addition to his mother, he is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Amy (Eckert) Patterson; children, Timothy (Stephanie) Patterson, Tyler (Tamera) Patterson, Taylor (Morgann) Patterson, and Tannar Patterson; siblings, Desiree Wech, Dawnelle Arvin, Darla (Scott) Blazey, and Darren (Ann) Patterson; granddaughter, Haizel Sue Patterson; several nieces, nephews, and cousins.
In addition to his father, Robert, he was preceded in death by his brother, Dean Patterson, and Goddaughter, Whitney.
