My father died suddenly yesterday. He was 72.
I don't care if this doesn't get a single like, but I just feel like he'd want this to be known, somewhere in the ether.
You guys and gals are awesome. Dad and I both browsed Patriots.Win nearly everyday. I got him onto it back in 2017. He still called it "The Donald"
Towards the end, dad didn't have much mobility, lived alone, and stayed at home mostly. I'd visit him all the time. I'd help set him up with youtube and a few other sites to help him pass the time in retirement.
Anytime I set up his computer for him, he'd always insist that Patriots.win was saved into his browser bookmark tab. He didn't know how to do it himself.
Dad loved the memes. He loved the jokes. He loved the community and the comments.
He'd ring me up and chat about any particularly funny ones, or just to shoot the breeze with me.
It was a point of commonality together. When I was at work he'd ring me up with any 'big happenings' and we'd yarn about it, we'd laugh about it together, or talk about how fucked things were.
It hasn't quite set in that I'll never hear him call me again and say "Hey! You should check out the Donald!" before describing the latest shitpost in great detail.
You guys are truly awesome. The Meme-lords, the shitposters, the witty comments, the community.
You gave him a lot, for absolutely nothing.
This place, and all of you, will always hold a special place in my heart for that for that.
Don't ever stop. Don't ever give up the faith. Trump 2024.
So to everyone here, all the way from the other side of the Planet
Thankyou.

Thanks a lot mate. Really appreciate it. He'll be chuffed that there's a post about him on PDW!
The down vote trolls are out in mass today, what a sad life they must live. Sorry for your loss in losing him, but you won the life lottery by having him.
They haven't had their hot pockets yet. Mommy will make it to the basement soon enough you little scamps!

I am very sorry for your loss. You were so lucky to have a great Dad. May he rest in peace.
Amen to that Brother.
He was a good man.
I prayed for you and your dad and I'm not religious at all.
You shall be blessed and stay strong in these times man.
Remember, don't be sad because it's over. Be glad because it happened.
Cheers to you and your great father!
Stay strong fren.
Always, brother.
Condolences, Fren. My dad is older than that, and not in the best shape these days. I can't answer the phone from family members these days without thinking that it might be "the call".
May he rest in peace..... from a 73 y/o who'll probably be seeing him soon.

We'll be saying a prayer for you and your family. You have our deepest condolences. Your father sounds like a great man and a hell of a Patriot. We lost our Dad this past july from a heart attack. He was 69, so not too far off from your dad. The worse part about losing your dad so far is having unanswered questions. We were working on a carpentry project together before he died and we both had different visions for it, and I'll never know what his was.. Stay strong pede!!
Yeah, it's tough aye man. Doesn't quite seem real.
I'm sorry for your loss, Friend.
Having a project together sounds really cool man.
Your vision, is his vision. I bet you what you end up doing, is exactly what he would have done. After all...You are your fathers, son.
Eternal Rest, grant unto Fusion Realm's father, Oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
My condolences 🙏 RIP A.P.C.
Honestly, that made me tear up a little seeing his initials repeated.
Thanks man. You're too kind.
I think RIP A.P.C. should be stickied.
God bless man. My dad is 76, my mom passed last year and it was just my dad and his dog. Then his dog died and he was alone. I was far away working off a military based doing IT stuff. One of my coworkers dad’s died. Nobody discovered the body for over a week. That’s when I noped the fuck out and said to myself that I needed get back. I have a kid in HS so waited to June so as to not interrupt his year. I tried to transition jobs, couldn’t make it work, said fuck it and resigned from my job and did it anyway. That was two months ago and I couldn’t be happier. I am here to support him. I did get a job in completely different career doing something I never thought I would do and I love it. I am a roofing contractor, turns out I am good at it, and the pay is very good. I went to Church Sunday and I am not super religious or anything but the sermon was something about yearning in our hearts for what we know is right. The relationship you had with your father is what I wanted in my heart. Your dad might of passed but I am proud of the relationship you had with him and and want the same for my father. God bless you both.
Eternal Rest, grant unto Fr330rD13's mother, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen.
he needs a dog. not a puppy, a middle-aged or senior pup. let them rescue each other. it's another avenue for engagement, exercise, laughter and unconditional love. former lvt and rescuer of 34 years. also, i'm so glad you came home for him.
to the original op: oh, honey! i'm so sorry for the loss of your daddy. sending up prayers for your heart peace. be kind to yourself in the coming days, and let people help you...they want to share your grief and support you. i'm actually waiting on my daddy to arrive; he's a ball of fire at 86. i will hug him extra hard, in honor of you and your dad. God bless, fren.
You're a great son. See if you can read some Bible verses to your dad.
Stay strong!
It is good to hear you had this place in common. That is a precious thing!
It's good people like you, and the thousands of other people that make it a 'thing'
Appreciated man.
Cool, I think in its essence, TD is supposed to be what you described! What was your dads “”handle”?….. prayers to your dad and your family!
He was a straight lurker! Just used to read and laugh, and tell me about the good ones!
God bless you and your father. Strive to maintain his memory, and with any luck; you'll be shitposting with us and your son one day.
Amen to that.
I will always remember him. I'm probably more like him than I'll ever realize.
I'll look forward to the day of shit-posting with my boy!
I am not looking forward to having to try to deal with that fren. My dad is my hero and one of my favorite people. We don’t talk as often but we definitely share views about the world when we do.
God bless and keep you and your old man. May you find peace during these tough days.
It's a tough one, I can assure you.
Dad and I were close, but I still wish I'd spent more time just talking to him, and being there for him. Once they're gone, that's that.
Make the time, brother. Trust me. You won't regret it.
So very true. You honor him now and gave him the gift of acceptance - and shared the ups and downs of this clown world. He lives on with renewal and is with you always !Peace be with you.
Born the same year as my dad whose prostate cancer relapsed for the third time at the beginning of the year. Hits close to home.
Prayers and support to you fren.
Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace and may you be comforted in your time of need.
Thankyou. It's appreciated. Truly.
It's comforting to be able to write a little piece about him, and have people offer their condolences.
I just know he's up there, happy-as-larry that he's finally got a post on his favorite website about him. He truly was MAGA.
We are all American brothers and sisters. My son introduced me to Patriots.win. You and your dad are in my prayers. Never lose faith. We will prevail!
God bless you and your father. May he rest in peace and may the angels of the Lord carry him to heaven.
Patriots are the best
RIP A.P.C.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Lost my Dad 24 years 11 months ago. I will tell you that, in my experience at least, It never stops hurting but it does stop hurting all the time.
I wish you the best friend.
Eternal Rest, grant unto bowlerslivesmatter's father, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
Your father is much like mine and I fear the day I have to make the same post as you. He's 79 and makes his own memes, though not very good and more of just a blatant call-out, (Ever since figuring out how to overlay text on images) he enjoys it too much and laughs at himself. It's great. He loves this place. I hope you find peace and sorry for your loss.
My condolences.
I lost my father 9 years ago. I always look back on my time with him fondly as he was amazing and he worked hard to provide for his family and raise me and my brothers and my sister right. He wasn't perfect but he never put up his hat on anything - long time tow truck driver that taught his sons his trade.
I feel for you bro!
Eternal Rest, grant unto Klaus73's father, Oh Lord,and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
Rest in peace, based Dad. Continue his legacy.
Friend, I'm so sorry for your loss. You'll never forget your dad, or the good times. I lost my dad in 2020. Even so, I sometimes catch myself thinking for a brief second that I want to tell him something. As long as you remember him, he's not really "gone". Prayers.
Eternal Rest grant unto RPOZ28's father, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
Sorry for your loss.
God take and keep him. You’ll be together again soon enough.
May he rest in peace brother....
Prayers to you and your family.
I'm so sorry, Patriot. You were blessed. I wish we could have read his posts as he seemed like a very cool dude. Maybe you could start and acct in his name and just post the awesome things Dad used to say about America, Trump, etc. It would be awesome to read.
I hope you can find the strength you need. I'll be praying and we ALL feel losses from our American family like this. Bless you.
Prayers for you and your family. RIP.
Much appreciated. He is now at rest.
God bless you and your dad. People forget that laughter is so much a part of life, it keeps us sane in a serious world. It sounds to me that your father never lost sight of that and always relished the opportunity to a have a good laugh with his son or daughter. You're a very blessed person to have a father like that.
It's nice to know you get enjoyment from things your dad did. Maybe you'll discover other things he liked that you like too.
Bless you and your fathers soul. That's a beautiful story bro.
Where do you live?
I would trade a pinky finger for a pops like that. May he Rest In Peace…
Hey, man. Sorry for your loss. God bless you, and the spirit of your father. He's in heaven now.
Well said Ped
My dad's got pancreatic cancer and he'll likely only live to about 72, or so they say. I'm not ready for that day yet, so my condolences man.
At 66 me and my 20yr old son have similar chats and shared love of The Donald. I still call it that tbh. He sounds like the kind of man I would look up to as an older (wiser) brother. I hope in time the memories of your Father are all joyous and you can know that you shared the deepest form of love known to us mortal creatures. God grant you peace fren..
I’ve been doing a lot of searching, looking for proof of an afterlife. I’ve read everything I could read, watched everything I could watch. Contemplated it on my daily walks. Looked for it behind the stars and prayed that something proves it to me. In that energized, frantic searching I have found nothing. But, when I lost my beloved cats, two of them in under a month, sitting by the grave laying my hand on the upturned soil, sad and exhausted by grief. Silent and quiet, I feel the presence of god beside me, whispering comfort in my ears, blowing a soft breeze across my cheek. Im now finding it hard not to believe that there is much more to our sense of the world and the universe than we are capable of understanding. I believe your Dad is still with you. He is just beyond your eyes, obscured by your vision, behind the vail of the physical world. And he is waiting in a place without time for the moment, hopefully far in the distance that you cross the threshold to see him again. And he wants you to live, he wants you to be happy. That is the best gift you can give to him now. Be strong and be happy.
Blessings and PEACE be upon you, bereft cat loving patriot!
Regarding your.earlier quest for knowledge of life after death...did you get into the "Near Death Experience" genre and if so, what did you think?
This lady really made me believe
