Patrick 59, passed unexpectedly at his residence with his wife by his bedside.

Aside from his family, Patrick loved racing, either participating or spectating. He was also recognized as a skillful machinist, where he was taught the trade by his older brother Teddy, who started a family business in the mid 70’s, where Patrick took over in the late 80’s, until his passing, to which became known as Pat’s Cylinder Head Service. Patrick formed many friendships throughout his almost 35 year career as a small business owner.

Fishing and Hawaiian music were also things he enjoyed, never refusing an invite on a boat.

He leaves behind his wife, Elonian Pua Tom; his grandson’s Kealii and Teruo Filomino who also resided with him. He also leaves behind 2 brothers, Theodore “Teddy” Keala Tom and Keevan Tom of Hilo; as well as a sister Fern Olson of Rockport Texas and numerous nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life will be held at his residence at a later date. Family and Friends will be notified.
