Mr. Patrick Hollins

On November 13, 1977, Patrick Fitzgerald Hollins was born to Doris Jean Hollins Warren and Jason Warren Jr. in Houston, Texas. Patrick accepted the Lord at an early age and was baptized at Mount Olive Baptist Church. He was an active member of the choir, enjoyed singing with his brothers Jeff and Mike, and regularly attended bible study. Growing up Patrick was known as Fat Boy and was extremely quiet and quite sneaky. He had a little pot belly, dirty knees, and he could be found eating his favorite cracker sandwiches. He enjoyed hanging out with his brothers, cousins, and neighborhood kids playing kickball, basketball, badminton, and volleyball in the yard. While growing up in Acres home, you could find Patrick and his brothers being creative and inventing games and activities to keep themselves entertained. He enjoyed finding parts and building bikes, so he and his brothers could ride around the neighborhood. He attended Sammons Elementary School, Wunderlich Middle School, and graduated from Klein Forest High School in 1997. Spending time at his Uncle Paul’s home, Patrick found his love of cars and music in his early teenage years. The neighborhood car wash was the main place that he and his brothers liked to hang out. Patrick’s love of basketball also formed in these years while he played on the school team and in his free time with his childhood friend, Charles. Turns out Patrick was also extremely talented with his hands and had a knack for working with stereos and radios. Because of this, he was known as the kid to go to if you needed any electronics hooked up in your car. Due to his love of working with his hands and setting up electronics, Patrick made his career in audio-visual where he worked for over 15 years. For the past 7 years, Patrick was the Area Director of Audio Visual for AVMS and just last year in 2017, he opened his own business, Paramount AudioVisual Technologies. Patrick’s main priorities were taking care of his daughter Abby and mother Doris. He used to wake up early on Saturday morning, grab a coffee at the local gas station, then cut his mom’s yard, ensuring that it was to her liking. Then he would take care of other chores around the house. The next thing on his list would be to wash his beloved 2006 Dodge Charger SRT8. Just like in his childhood, he spent many hours hanging out at the car wash and spending time with people who came through, just shooting the breeze. His other favorite things to do were eating crawfish with his daughter and friends, going to the outlet malls to find deals on the weekend, playing basketball, riding dirt bikes and 4 wheelers, and fishing. He also loved the water and his favorite city, second to Houston, was Miami. Cruising the 610 Loop with his sunroof back, Z-Ro playing, and friends beside him was another activity Patrick deeply enjoyed. And if he wasn’t found driving his car around the loop, he would be at the track because he had a love for racing cars. Patrick was definitely a car guy; he enjoyed modifying his dodge and would always give advice on how his friends should upgrade theirs. He hoped that one day he could finally put his charger on the race track. Kind-hearted, loyal, laid back, and extremely dependable were just a few words to describe Patrick. He was completely selfless and put the wants and needs of others before his own. His greatest joy and biggest accomplishment in life was being a father to Abby. Not only was he an amazing father, son, and brother, but an irreplaceable friend who loved unconditionally. Patrick Fitzgerald Hollins closed his eyes on March 20, 2018. Even though he is gone from this world, his presence and the positive impact he left on those around him will forever live in the hearts of his loved ones. Patrick is survived by mother Doris Hollins Warren; father Jason Warren Jr.; daughter Callista “Abby” Torres; brothers Jeff (Starea) Hollins and Michael Hollins; sister Jessica Warren; aunt Vivian (O’Neil) Brazle; uncles CW (Rosa) Robinson, Alex (Letna) Gatewood and Paul Gatewood; three nieces and two nephews Treshane, Starian, Brinin, Jeff, and Mike Jr. “Red”, special friend Naomi Washington, and a host of other relatives and friends.
