Patrick Antonio Kirlew, age 66 of Port Charlotte, Florida passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 1, 2022 at Tidewell Hospice Inc. Englewood, FL.
Patrick was born to Margaret Gordon and Stanley Kirlew on June 8, 1955 in Jamaica, West Indies.
Patrick served in the United States Air Force and retired as a Master Sergeant after 20 years. He completed assignments across the United States and South Korea.
Patrick is preceded in death by his parents and son, Patrick Roman Kirlew. Survivors include his loving children, Marcus Kirlew of Bronx, N.Y. and Maya Kirlew of Mount Vernon, N.Y., brother, Launcely Wright of Spanish Town, Jamaica; sister, Claudette Clark (Richard); grandchildren, Trevari, Latrell, Marley and Dana; aunts, Ruth Hall and Pearl Heron; nephews, nieces, cousins and a host of other relatives and friends.
Patrick had a passion for helping others and was referred to as the son of Port Charlotte’s seniors. He loved to cook and was known for his scrumptious Jamaican dishes. He was an eternal optimist, admired for his positive attitude and outlook on life, no matter the circumstance. His ability to remain calm under trying and difficult situations was also one of his enviable traits.
As a teenager he studied and admired the work of the great Jamaican National Hero, Marcus Mosiah Garvey. It was no surprise that his first-born son was given the name Marcus. His favorite musical icon is Bob Marley.
Patrick gave us a wonderful lesson on how to live with illness and how to die with grace and dignity. We will miss him greatly.
Graveside services, with military honors by the United States Air Force, will be held at 11:00 AM on Thursday, February 17, 2022 at Sarasota National Cemetery in Sarasota, FL.
In lieu of flowers, Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society.
Friends may visit online at www.robersonfh.com to extend condolences to the family.
Arrangements are by Roberson Funeral Home Port Charlotte Chapel.

Daddy: Thank you for this face and Spirit, a perfect reflection of you in feminine form. Thank you for gifting me your hands, my ministry in this life, and teaching me the wide capacity of healing and soothing through virtuous provision of good food and nourishment.
Thank you for being quick to listen, and slow to speak. Thank you for your beautiful heart and strong legacy that continues to grow. Thank you for never leaving my side, regardless of the physical distance at times. Most of all, thank you for being here with me STILL, as promised. Eternally honored to be your little, Miss Maya.
We are blessed to be your children!

Daddy: Thank you for showing me what a kind, gentle and hard-working man looks like. Thank you for instilling knowledge and self-worth in me and teaching me that nothing is impossible and for the wisdom you instilled in me of never accepting less than I deserve.
Thank you for your firm yet warm parental guidance and unconditional love. I will remember and carry with me, the wisdom you instilled in me. I cherish your strong ethical standards and for always reminding me that only the best is good enough. Grateful and proud to be your son, Marcus.
