We got to know this young man from our son.

I met Patrick at our Key Group a few years back and always enjoyed his contribution to the group. His quiet spoken voice was always met with compassion and wisdom that always wonderfully engaged our thinking beyond myself. My words feel like they are not met with my heart, as it is deeply sadden for his passing. My condolences to the family.
My heart aches for your family after this indescribable loss..
Thanks to the whole Janicki Family for their help when my husband Johnny was sick with the cancer which finally took him after 6 years of fighting.
We have so many memories of Patrick with our son Justin . ICRS, camp, birthdays & mud, trees and dirt in our backyard! He had a beautiful smile & we will never forget his kindness to our family at my nephew’s funeral 3 years ago. He will be a shining light in heaven. All our love & prayers for you Pat and your family.
May he rest in peace

Patrick was a ray of sunshine in everybody’s lives. He had a big heart and was an amazing friend to our son, Ryan. We lost a wonderful person, but heaven gained a beautiful angel. We love you Pat.
Our hearts are breaking for you all. What a legacy Patrick has left. To have love, friendships, accomplishments and to make the difference he made in his short life some never achieve. We pray his work he started will come to fruition by all who cared for him. God bless you all and may peace comfort you soon. There is surely another angel among us.
Many hearts are breaking, this loss is hitting home and is felt by a lot of people. Pat did have a wonderful smile and he was always respectful and kind to everyone he encountered. A tragic loss to all those that knew and loved him. Too sad, just too sad. Our thoughts and hearts are with you all,

I asked pat about working on the logging side in 2011 and had a job shortly after calling him. I enjoyed the time spent working with him around the shop and in the woods. He will be missed.
Patrick had a contagious smile and a huge heart. He admired each of his older siblings and sure adored his parents. I am so incredibly sorry to each of you for your loss and will keep you all in my prayers. Cherish the memories you all have and know that he will continue to look down upon you and guide you. I am unable to make the service on Monday but you will be in my heart and my thoughts as you embark on each day without your loved one. Thank you for sharing him with so many of us.
Very sorry to hear about this, I didn’t know him, but it is hard to lose a child you are in my prayers
