Daniel Ramsey Patterson, age 71, of Amery, Wisconsin (formerly of South St. Paul) died suddenly on November 16, 2021.

He is survived by his daughter, Sarah (Brian) Borgestad and granddaughters Brooklynn and Gabby; his life-long partner, Sue Koel and her daughters, Laura (Steve-deceased) Violet, Lisa Lawrence, Julie (Rick) Peterson, Amy (Joe) Karpenske, and their children; mother, AnnaMae Patterson, siblings: Linda (Dick) Kolnberger, Patti (Mike) Peyer, Tom Patterson, John (Donna) Patterson, Matthew (Diane-deceased) Patterson, Mark Patterson, and Midge (Joel) Jackson, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Dan proudly served in the US Navy and received the National Defense Service Medal, Navy Unit Commendation, and Vietnam Service Medal with Bronze Star. He was a jack of all trades and loved his life on the farm. His family and friends will remember him as the “Big” Brother keeping us “little” kids in line. Dan could tell stories with his dry sense of humor and crack a joke without laughing. He enjoyed fishing contests with his granddaughters at the cabin. He will be dearly missed.

Private service will be held at a future date with burial at Fort Snelling. Memorials preferred to daughter, Sarah.

Arrangements were entrusted to the Williamson-White Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 222 Harriman Avenue North Amery, Wisconsin 54001.
