Patrick James Connor, 50, of Orr, MN passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, November 12, 2020 at his home.

Patrick was born on March 8, 1970, to Peggy Ann Kletschka Connor and James Allen Attenberger in Minneapolis.

Patrick's mom was in the military, so he moved often when he was young, until they settled in Prior Lake, then moved to Eveleth, and finally settled in Nett Lake. Oftentimes he traveled to Nett Lake to see his grandma Dorothy Kletschka Glende. Patrick was an avid Minnesota Viking fan. Every time the Vikings played you can count on him being in his Vikings attire. Patrick was also a Nascar fan. Patrick obtained a Commercial Driving License and drove for Big Wood Transit. He was a maintenance worker for Bois Forte Housing. Patrick is a member of Lac Courte Oreilles in Wisconsin.  Patrick enjoyed playing pool, in fact, he loved it so much it did not matter who he played.  When at the local bar, if no friends or family would play, he would ask complete strangers to play a game of pool.

He was preceded in death by his mother Peggy Connor, and his stepdad James Connor.

Patrick is survived by life partner Annette Howe of Orr; step daughters Regina (Mark Toivola) Howe of Cook; Racheal (Nicolis Buchholz) Howe; and Sarah (Lyle Connor) Howe both of Nett Lake; step grandchildren: Bradley, Alya, Stacie, Mathew, Jazmin, Gabryl, Neko, Wyatt and Loren; father James Attenberger of Le Sueur, MN; three half-sisters and one half-brother; friends James and DeMaris Davenport of Cleveland, TN; and numerous aunts and uncles.
