Patrick G. Diecidue Jr.

Patrick (Pat) George Diecidue Jr., 67, of Oak Grove, Missouri died unexpectedly on May 03, 2020. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri, on June 13, 1952, to Patrick and Helen Diecidue. 

One of Pat’s earliest achievements was obtaining his Eagle Scout with the Tribe of Mic-O-Say. He also spent many summers mentoring young scouts at H. Roe Bartle Scout Camp. 

After graduating from Raytown High School, Pat joined the Marines serving as Staff Sergeant until August of 1977. He then started an apprenticeship in the Carpenters Union and became a journeyman four years later. This became his lifelong occupation.  

Pat was an avid hunter and hunted all over the world. He loved nothing more than going on a good hunt, especially with his son Alex. He was a member of the Safari Club for many years and served as a past President.  

One of his greatest enjoyments was being a grandfather. Papa loved nothing more than time spent with his grandkids and was looking forward to welcoming another grandson in July.  

Pat never met a stranger and would gladly give you the shirt off his back. He had a great sense of humor (much to the chagrin of his wife) and had a smile that would light up a room. His magnetic personality made him the person you gravitated towards.  

He is survived by his loving wife of 36 years, Sheryl Diecidue; his mother, Helen Diecidue; three sisters: Joan (Michael) Mellor, Carla (Kim) McClure, and Ginger (Jeff) Kaestner; four children: Jenny Connor (Aaron), Anthony Diecidue, Jordan Beck (Matt), and Alex Diecidue (Nicole); six grandchildren: Dylan, Abby, Cameron, Brandon (Connor), Peyton, and Thea (Beck); and a grandson due in July (Alex and Nicole).
