Patrick A. LeSage

Born on June 30, 1943 in Franklin, WI. Passed away peacefully on March 2, 2024 at the age of 80 in Scottsdale, AZ.

Patrick was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 50 years, Karen and his son Timothy. He was a loving father to Julianne (Mike Maschek) Kaufmann, Matthew (Suzy) LeSage, Joseph (Jackie) LeSage. His role as a proud grandfather to John, Stephen, Elizabeth, Anna Clare, Frederick, Joseph, and Lila brought him immeasurable happiness and was a source of great pride. Pat will also be loved and missed by his three siblings and their spouses, nieces, nephews, other relatives and so many dear friends in Arizona, Milwaukee, and Saxeville, WI.

Pat graduated from Marquette High School and went on to graduate college at Marquette University. Pat had a long and varied career with key positions at Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce, Flad Architects, Wisconsin Electric Power Company, Forward Wisconsin, Mooney LeSage Group, Marquette University- Campus Circle Project, and his own company Pettibone Group where he partnered with many key business leaders in the community. He was active in many community organizations and cared passionately about helping many causes including Pius XI High School, St. Stephens Indian Mission in Riverton WY, Boys and Girls Club of Milwaukee, and Pathfinders Milwaukee.

A memorial service and tribute to his life will be held Friday April 5, 2024, with visitation from 1-3 pm and service at 3 pm at the Max A. Sass & Sons Mission Hills Chapel. A reception will follow at the Polish Center (6941 S 68th St, Franklin, WI 53132). Private entombment will take place at Forest Home Cemetery. For friends in northern Wisconsin, a future service will be planned when weather warms in Waupaca. In lieu of flowers Pat asked that contributions be made in his honor to two treasured causes: Pius XI Catholic High School (135 N. 76th Street, Milwaukee, WI 53212) or Pathfinders Milwaukee (4200 N Holton St #400, Milwaukee, WI 53212)

He will be deeply missed, but the memories of his warm smile, wise counsel, and generous spirit will forever be treasured by his family, friends, and the many lives he touched.
