Patrick Lee Hoskins, Colonel (Retired), USAR 

July 4. 1946-September 3, 2026 

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the family of Patrick Hoskins, 80 of Houston, Texas announce his sudden passing on September 3, 2026. He was predeceased in death by his parents, Thomas and Patricia Hoskins of Orange, California. He is survived by his loving wife Linda of 55 years and his son Scott. 

Patrick lived a life that was never boring. From skateboarding, rollerblading, surfing the waves, snow skiing, snowboarding and motorcross to his law practice in Tomball and his military reserve training he lived a full rewarding life. His quick wit and good humor will be missed by those who knew him. 

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Folds of Honor.Org or the Tunnels to Towers Foundation.org in Patrick's memory.
