09/22/1950-09/01/26

Pat was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend whose outgoing personality, quick sense of humor, and positive spirit left a lasting impression on the many people who knew and loved him. Gentle, dependable, hardworking, loving, and loyal, Pat was the kind of person who could always be counted on. He was quick with a joke, generous with his time, and always willing to lend a hand to someone in need.

Pat spent his career working for Lenards Metals, McDonnell Douglas, Boeing, Midcoast Aviation, and retired in 2020.

Our family moved to Grafton, IL, in 1991.

Pat was the proud owner and operator of “The Fiberglass Doctor Boat Repair” in Grafton until the flood of 1993.

Being handy and resourceful, Pat could fix just about anything, and he brought the same patience, persistence, and work ethic to both his career and the people he cared about.

Outside of work, Pat loved being outdoors.  He enjoyed riding motorcycles, talking about cars, boating, camping, hiking, sitting around a bonfire, and spending time with friends and family. Some of his favorite places included Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, and home.

His clubhouse on Piasa Island along the Mississippi River in Jersey County, Illinois, was a place that reflected so much of what Pat loved: the outdoors, the river, good company, and time spent with the people closest to him.

Pat is survived by his wife, Rhonda Linders of Spanish Lake, Missouri; his stepson, Elijah (wife Crystal) Condellone; his grandson, Briton (wife Aubrey) Condellone, and his granddaughter, Gracie Condellone; of Nobelsville, IN., his brother, Sherwood Linders (wife Jane)and brother in-law, Skip Eastman of Arlington TX.

Pat loved his many nieces, nephews, his extended family members, and countless friends.

Pat was very excited to hear that he was going to be a Great Granddad of twins in March 2027.

Pat was preceded in death by his father, Ralph W. Linders; his mother, Pearl Reifel Linders and his stepmother, Melba Linders.

His sisters, Joy (Linders) Kraisser and Dorothy Linders Eastman, Fred Kraisser(brother in-law) and his stepson, Joshua Robert Rembke Condellone.

Pat found his church home at Impact Agape Ministries in Spanish Lake, Missouri. His faith was important to him.  The friendships and support of IAM were keys to his spiritual success and his relationship with

Jesus Christ, his Lord and Savior.

Pat will be remembered for his humor, his courage and always finding joy in the adventures of the simple things in life.

His life was a blessing to many and he will be deeply missed by all.
