Dear Friends, Family, and Brothers,

On July 19th, 2023, we were devastated by the news that our brother Patrick C. McCarthy passed away at the young age of 24. This devastating news left heavy hearts for all who knew and loved Pat. He brought so much joy, energy, and light into all our lives, and the void present from his passing is impossible to put into words.

Patrick was a Hunterdon Central Regional High School graduate before attending the University of New Haven. While attending University, Pat became entwined with the yet to be established Upsilon-Omicron Chapter of Kappa Sigma. Pat brought his leadership, ingenuity, and outgoing personality to our group as he helped us overcome countless obstacles on the way to becoming an established chapter. Because of his hard work and passion, he was voted by his brothers to be our founding Vice President of Membership Development. Since the founding of this fraternity the Upsilon-Omicron chapter has gone on to raise over $50,000 for charity, contribute over 15,000 hours of community service, and provided a sense of belonging to hundreds of brothers that have joined with him and after him. Without Pat’s dedication to the fraternity, which he so strongly believed in, none of that could have been possible.

Pat was not just an invaluable contributor to the fraternity; he was a son, a brother, and a friend to many that left a mark on all those he touched. He always sprinkled his magic on every person he met. Pat was also a South Ridge Community Church member in Clinton, New Jersey. Pat was a Memphis Grizzlies and University of Tennessee football fan. Besides sports, Pat enjoyed four-wheeling, dirt biking, the pistol range, and mixology. Throughout high school and after his college years, Patrick was fortunate to be part of The Fudge Shop family in Flemington, New Jersey. He was their Wholesale Manager and Production Coordinator.

In memory of Pat, we invite you to participate in the first annual Patrick C. McCarthy Golf Outing. All profits from ticket sales and 100% of additional donations will benefit the Patrick C. McCarthy Scholarship Fund. This fund will serve as a lasting tribute to his memory for the love he shared with all fortunate enough to know him. We aim to honor Pat’s legacy by providing a scholarship to at least one undergraduate member of the Upsilon-Omicron Chapter of Kappa Sigma each year. Your generosity will ensure that Patrick’s memory lives on, not only in our hearts but also in the positive change that his legacy will continue to inspire.

Until next time Pat.

A.E.K.Δ.B.
