Patrick Corrigan
Patrick Corrigan passed away peacefully on September 11, 2024, surrounded by family.
He was born on January 3, 1933, in Milwaukee, WI to Elizabeth W and The Right Reverend Daniel Corrigan.
Patrick served in the Marine Corps during the Korean Conflict before starting a long career as an investment banker for White Weld and Merrill Lynch in downtown Minneapolis.
Patrick was a role model for the other Account Executives in the office and achieved the distinction of Chairman’s Club membership, one of the highest sales honors as an Account Executive. As a Chairman’s Club member, he always set high standards for himself and encouraged those around him to do the same.
Prior to his financial services career, he graduated from the University of Minnesota where he was introduced to some of the best American fiction writers. Patrick was an avid reader and shared his love of books with his friends and family.
Patrick loved to stay active. He could always be found either at the Minneapolis Athletic Club playing volleyball, on the tennis court, or running laps around Lake of the Isles. He enjoyed walking trips through Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy and many more countries.
In 2004, Patrick and his wife Betsy moved to Santa Barbara for their retirement. He remained active and made many friends at the Santa Barbara Athletic Club and on the tennis court. He could have walked a block in any direction in Santa Barbara and seen someone he knew.
He loved his family more than anything. His children brought him immense joy and his unconditional love for them could not be separated by distance. Patrick is survived by his wife of 41 years, Betsy Ingalls, his four children Daniel (Maureen), Kate (Jean-Yves), Josh (Sheryl) and Lucy (Josh). He also has two surviving brothers John and Michael (Nancy). Patrick loved his nine grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and his dog, Bentley. He will be remembered for his million dollar smile.
The family extends their gratitude for the loving care from Hospice of Santa Barbara and VNA Health Santa Barbara.
A private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
