In memory of Patrick Solon
someone we've lost to ALS
Illinois
He was a regular on Facebook every morning, posting an inspirational message and a joke.
Patrick was diagnosed in 2015 with limb onset ALS. We had only been married 7 years when symptoms started. He was a stepdad to my son and daughter from my first marriage. God blessed him to be able to see them both get married and to know his grandchildren. By 2021 Pat was rapidly declining. He was a regular on Facebook every morning, posting an inspirational message and a joke. It gave him a purpose and so many friends looked forward to his posts. Pat passed on May 16, 2022 after seven years of fighting. We had just celebrated 15 years of marriage. He had ALS but it didn’t have him!
