"Kip", 12 Year Old Black Lab of Shad and Ann (Heinrich) Patterson, passed away on Tuesday morning, July 8, 2014, at his home surrounded by his loving family.
"Kip" was born on April 4, 2002 and was the biggest and calmest of the litter. He instantly filled our hearts. He was a happy, gentle, loving and loyal friend to all he met. He enjoyed leading the way on a country walk, farm chores, being at the pond, swimming, and spending time with his family. He had a large heart and always wanted to please.
"Kip" is survived by his pet parents, Ann and Shad Patterson of Maquoketa, IA; pet grandparents, Chris and Paul Heinrich of Maquoketa, IA; his pet sibling Cooper of Maquoketa, IA; and his furry friends, Mulligan and Penelope.
