Pat was a member of the Elks Lodge and the Church of Good Shepherd, in Covington.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert Eugene Telley, Florence Elizabeth Witherspoon, and Raymond Judson Witherspoon.

Survivors include his wife, Donna Lee Telley; children, Colleen Palmer (John), Raymond Telley (Christine McGowen), Kimberly Deveaux, Ann Aubut, Patrick Telley, Jr. (Jasmine), Christopher Telley (Heather), Dianna Manriquez (Farid), Cynthia King; multiple grandchildren and great-grandchildren; as well as siblings, Michael Telley (Gail), and Lisa Witherspoon (Karla Powell).

Patrick was an amazing man with a booming laugh and a huge smile that lit up a room, captivating everyone with his expressive style of storytelling, wit and humor. He was a husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, friend, and mentor who is already sorely missed. May he rest in peace.
