In his private life, Mr. Patton was heavily involved in the
Twin Cities Church in Grass Valley, worked to help others
through Alcoholics Anonymous, and recently began coaching a
little league team for children with special needs.
Mr. Patton died on May 2, 2013, while riding his motorcycle on
SR 99 at Riego Road in Sutter County. Mr. Patton was
participating in the Third Annual Highway Workers Memorial
Motorcycle Ride benefiting the children of fallen Caltrans
employees. His final destination for the Ride was the 26th
Annual Caltrans Workers Memorial held on the west steps of the
State Capitol that day. He is survived by his wife, three
children, three granddaughters, and a host of other extended
family members and friends.
This resolution designates the interchange between SR 99 and

Interchange." This resolution further requests that the
Department of Transportation (Caltrans) erect appropriate signs
upon receiving donations from non-state sources to cover the
costs.
