I only spent just a few years at GBFY in the late 90’s but have always reflected on it as one of the most memorable of my career. Pat was a very intense and dedicated guy; perhaps a workaholic but peaking through his intensity was a guy with a good sense of humor and a pragmatic wisdom that only comes from experience. He was a good leader and worked tirelessly to achieve any project undertaken. I’m proud and privileged to have worked with and learned from Pat and others at GBFY.
I shared 10 + years at the GBFY wth Pat and looking back now it was very enjoyable for me . Pat and I sat at the computer many hours getting me straight on his vision for a project . Great experience as he was always as eager to learn in the process as me . He and I shared other things , stories , my venison sausage , and once he came blasting into my office with a piece of mountain lion blackstrap for me to try . Turned out it was delicious . He possessed a rare quality with that ready smile . People worked for him not because they had to but because they wanted too. He had a big sense of humor also demonstrated by him being the driving force to give my new bride a wedding gift from everyone 29 years ago . When the gifts were opened there were not one but 14 crock pots all alike . My new bride wanted to know what kind of people I worked with ? I responded with the best I had ever known . I don't know why God summoned him at such an early age . He must have some humongous structure to be built . Pat is the one who can get it done . Unforgettable and I will pray for him and the loved ones he has left behind . I know as usual he had to get in front and pave the way for us all to follow .
My condolences to Pat’s family. I had the pleasure of working for Pat at GBFY. He was my mentor and I learned so much from him. We rode our motorcycles together and I actually got him to buy my Honda Goldwing even after he said he would never own a rice burner. If Pat ( Duck Butter), invited you to breakfast it was to tell you a great idea he had and how he expected you to make that idea a reality. What a great leader he was. RIP Pat.
Hey Duck this is Stephen & Nita in Winnie Tex. You may have beaten us there for now but we will be looking you up as soon as we get there. Only Duck Butter ( Pat Morton) could bring a group together in joy to share in his beautiful memory. Stephen and I attended the visitation this afternoon. I was so touched with the “Always present LOVE of the Morton family”. The warm hugs and genuine loving feelings shared with his family were so “Pat Morton”. Stephen has many fond memories of deer hunting trips with Duck. Stephen showed Lee how to clean his first deer while daddy watched. Stephen and I made a trip to Missouri with Pat and Debbie on our mortorcycles in freezing weather and we will never forget the fun we had. So many fun times, sad times, and life long memories with Duck will never leave us but will always warm our hearts when we miss him so deeply. From both of us we send our love always to Pat’s children Lee and Britney. We feel that we can speak for Pat’s Brown & Root family from Greens Bayou our love and appreciation for getting to share one of God’s great people.
Adios and see you later our dear buddy. Stephen and Nita Stephens
It is a sad day and world knowing Pat is no longer a part of it. I worked with Pat for many years and became good friends, he was there for some very sad moments and very happy days in my life. I feel very blessed to have known him and able to call him my friend. RIP my friend. Pete and Martha Broussard
I worked with Pat off and on since he joined the Company. At first I didn't know his name was Pat. Everyone called him Duck Butter. A few times over the radio it was just Duck.. Pat was an honest hard working man. One had to walk fast if you planned on walking somewhere with him. My wife and I met Pat's wife at Danny Prats office in the 80's. His wife was cordial with a sense of humor. Pat loved her and his family.
May God Bless the family during this difficult circumstance.
