Carl Dean Patton, 85, passed away December 11, 2022 at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Fort Morgan. He was born January 1, 1937 to Thomas and Blanche (Henderson) Patton in Fort Morgan. He was the oldest of ten children, raised on the family farm in Roggen. He attended Kiowa school, a one room school house, until the 8 ^th grade.

Carl was a mechanic, and spent his days farming and running heavy equipment. He also enjoyed driving truck, and purchased his own semi to start his own business, C&F Custom Hauling.  Carl finally retired at the age of 84 and spent his last year turning wrenches with his son Tommy. He knew a little about everything when it came to fixing things, and was as tough as they come. He loved fishing and boating with his family and friends, telling jokes, and a tall glass of whiskey.

Carl was preceded in death by his parents; and two sisters, Dorothy Ley and Betty Burnett.

He is survived by three children, Don (Luann) Patton of Ft. Lupton, Carlene Patton of Ft. Lupton and Tommy (Connie) Patton of Fort Morgan; six grandchildren, Misty Coursey, Nicole Engbarth, Sandy Fry, Craig Patton, Autumn and Britney Remirez, 12 great grandchildren; four brothers, Jim Patton of Greeley, Ira and Clyde Patton of Roggen, and Roy Patton of Fredrick; and three sisters, Carol Rice of Bridgeport, NE, Toby Schwindt of Wheatland WY, and Ruth Collins of Crested Butte.

A memorial service will be held at Life Fellowship Church Friday January 20, 2023 at 2:00 PM, followed by a time of fellowship and refreshments.
