With heavy hearts and profound respect, we remember and celebrate the life of Patrick Warren Dugan, a cherished soul who touched the lives of all who knew him. Born on December 15, 1953, in Alliance, Ohio, Patrick's journey through life was marked by dedication, hard work, and a vibrant spirit that will not soon be forgotten. He passed away peacefully at his home on May 18, 2026, leaving behind a legacy rich with love and memorable moments.

Patrick was a proud graduate of Alliance High School, where the foundations of his character were laid. His early years were followed by courageous service in the United States Army, including a notable tour in Germany. This chapter of his life demonstrated his bravery and commitment to his country, qualities that those closest to him deeply admired.

Following his military service, Patrick built a fulfilling career with multiple local businesses. Crown Cork and Seal, from which he eventually retired. His work ethic and loyalty were hallmarks of a man who valued integrity and perseverance.

Those who knew Patrick best remember a man who took immense pride in his lawn, and pool, a testament to his dedication and love of the outdoors. He was an avid outdoorsman who found joy in nature’s embrace and bringing his family together. Beyond the yard, his culinary skills brought joy to family and friends alike; his kitchen was a place of warmth, laughter, and delicious creations. A devoted fan of Mount Union athletics, Patrick’s enthusiasm and team spirit were infectious. He also held a special place in his heart for WWE wrestling, a passion that added a playful and spirited dimension to his personality. His favorite music was the blues. 

Patrick’s family was the cornerstone of his life. He is lovingly remembered by his two daughters, Dacia Crockett and Stacey Dugan. He also had two bonus daughters Jenna Dennison and MaKayla Tarbet, and his grandchildren—Jalen, Jazlyn, Blaine, as well as Kyler, and Bitsy—who brought endless joy and pride to his days. He was cherished by his siblings who remain with us: James, Michael, Frances and Cathy. Their shared memories and bonds reflect a lifetime of support and unconditional love. Patrick’s affection also extended to his treasured fur babies, Bubba, who we are sure he’s reunited with, Luna, Lana, and Bella, who were faithful companions and brought additional light to his life.

He joins his parents and siblings Gerald, Joe, and Mary, who preceded him in death, their memories forever intertwined in the tapestry of his life.

A Celebration of Life will be held on May 28, 2026, beginning at 5:00 p.m. at Dean's Funeral Home, located at 256 W Ohio Ave, Sebring, Ohio. This will be followed by a Funeral Service at 6:00 p.m. at the same location, providing a heartfelt opportunity for family, friends, and all who loved Patrick to gather, share stories, and honor a man whose spirit remains a lasting beacon of love, courage, and joy. 

The family would like to thank Compassion Delivered as well as Dr. Nagajothi and Dr. Rodocoy for their care and support.

Patrick Warren Dugan lived true to his heart, leaving an indelible mark on the lives he touched. Though he has departed this world, his legacy endures in the laughter of his grandchildren, the memories shared by his siblings and children, and the quiet beauty of a lawn perfectly cared for. His love for life, service, and family stands as a testament to a man deeply loved and deeply missed. May he rest peacefully, forever embraced by the boundless outdoors he so adored.
