6 Comments on “Joseph Buford "Bee" Patrick, III”

  1. My heart is broken.
    Bee was a brother to me just as Jim, and our families were so intertwined…we had the best adventures growing up swimming, fishing and hanging out at “Ghost Bridge” with our crowd.
    Bee was bigger than life, always so kind and a true friend even into adulthood. I will miss the phone calls every time a disturbance gets in the gulf of Mexico, “come on up here, we’ve got plenty of room!” And my very favorite end to everyone one of them, “tell Goober, Gomer says Hi”, meant for my husband Blair.
    I know you are in heaven with JB and you have a new body! We will all miss Bee so much!

  2. I am so sorry to learn of Bee’s passing. Bee was always so friendly in our neighborhood and provided treats for many of the dogs. I always enjoyed chatting with Bee and his family when he was out and about on the golf cart. He will be missed. May God Bless his family during this sad time🙏
