Patrick T. Fencil

MADISON - Patrick Thomas Fencil of Madison, Wis., passed away suddenly at home on August 2, 2022, at the age of 71.

Before retiring, Patrick worked for 32 years as a Psychiatric Care Technician at Mendota Mental Health Institute where he was known for his great compassion for patients and coworkers.

Patrick had a strong love for music and its history, especially jazz and blues. He was also an avid reader and marveled at how the mind can travel through time and space with books. As a result, Patrick was a walking library of information. Patrick was most at home when camping under a full moon at Hartman Creek State Park in Waupaca, Wis., a place that he photographed many times and described as “his church”. While camping, Patrick had a flashlight for every occasion and lit up the life of everyone he encountered.

Patrick was preceded in death by his parents, Wayne and Mary (Doherty) Fencil.

A virtual celebration of Patrick’s life will be held at a later date. For more information, please contact Nancy Starkiewicz (nanseas@telus.net).
