Patrick E. McLaughlin

Patrick E. McLaughlin, of Philadelphia, PA, passed away on Monday December 13, 2021 at the age of 61 after a brief battle with esophageal cancer.
He was born in Philadelphia to John and Mary McLaughlin on April 9, 1960. A graduate of Father Judge High School, Class of 1978, Patrick went on to work for 35 years as a bricklayer with the BAC Local 1 PA/DE.

Anyone who knew Pat knew how much of a family man he was. He never missed any of his kids’, and eventually grandkids’, games, activities, and life events, and almost always arrived at least 15 minutes early. He also loved cheering on Philadelphia sports teams with his brothers (and friends that were like brothers) at the Columbus Country Club.



He is survived by his mother Mary McLaughlin (nee Conboy); his children Bridget Trautz (Nicholas), Jill McLaughlin (Ben), Patrick McLaughlin (Bianca), and Andrew McLaughlin (Jill); his grandchildren Cassie Trautz, Nicholas Trautz, Jr., and Lachlan Miner; his six siblings Mary Frances (Kevin Nolan), Jack Jr. (Kathleen), Edward (Marianne), Gerald, James (Heather), and Dennis (Tina) McLaughlin; the mother of his children, Marianne McLaughlin; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members, who will all miss him dearly. Preceding him in death was his father, John McLaughlin, and his beloved 1989 green Ford F250.

Relatives and friends are invited to his viewing on Sunday, December 19, 2021 at John F. Fluehr & Sons 3301 Cottman Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19149 from 4-6pm; and again, on Monday, December 20, 2021 at Resurrection of Our Lord Church 2000 Shelmire Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19152 from 9:15-10:15am.
