Leslie “Pat” Abbott, age 86 of West Bloomfield, passed away October 27th, 2021.

Active in several area organizations throughout his life, Pat was the longest standing member of the Kiwanis Club of Dearborn and dedicated many years of serving others in the Knights of Columbus as well. Before taking more time to himself, Pat worked as an insurance agent in his earlier years. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed fishing whenever the opportunity arose. Visiting “Up North” always held a special place in his heart. When he watched sports, it was often to root for his favorite team, the Detroit Tigers. Never one to turn down a Klondike bar, Pat was undoubtedly ice cream’s biggest fan. But above all else, the time he spent with his loving family is what Pat cherished the most. He was a devoted husband and wonderful father and grandfather who will be dearly missed.  

Pat was the beloved husband of Cathy for 58 years. Loving father of David (Jill) and Richard (Vickie). Proud grandfather of Lauren (Ray) Zada, Nicholas (Carrie) Stinson, Alyssa (Kyle) Sweeney, Katie (Alec Romanowski), Erika, and Julia. Great-grandfather of Savannah and Connor. Dear cousin of Lorraine Abbott.

Visitation for Pat will be held on Monday, November 1st, from 10:30 a.m. until the time of his Funeral Mass at 11:00 a.m. at Prince of Peace Catholic Church, 4300 Walnut Lake Rd., West Bloomfield. Please note that masks are required while inside the church.
