A proud Texan, Pat was born October 24, 1922, to Will Iredell Hooks and Janie (Files) Hooks. He grew up in Itasca. He attended New Mexico Military Institute and graduated from Itasca High School. Pat attended the University of Texas in Austin until his Senior year, when he was called to serve in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
Pat married the love of his life, Donal Lois (Haltom) in 1944. While in service to his country, he achieved the rank of U.S. Navy ensign, earned his wings as an aviator and was honorably discharged in 1945. Pat and Donal Lois’ daughter, Cheryn, was born shortly after they returned home to Itasca.
Pat, along with his brother Bill, loved farming the family land, flying their airplane and riding motorcycles together. Pat was an avid golfer, hunter and fisherman. Late in life, he enjoyed watching old westerns on TV.
Pat was preceded in death by his parents, Will and Janie Hooks; his wife, Donal Lois Hooks; and his brother, Will I. Hooks Jr.
Pat loved and was loved by his entire family. He is survived by his daughter, Cheryn and husband, Harold Turk; sisters, Julie Siddons and Amelia Bullock and husband, Bill Krumpack; grandchildren, Christin and husband, Michael Hevey, and Jessica and husband, Jason Rhodes; great-grandchildren, Faith Hevey, Hudson Rhodes and Graysen Rhodes; as well as several nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
