Donald Hugh Patterson, longtime partner of Charlene Lee-Schulte, of Little
Rock, was a beloved figure, born and raised in Bassett, Arkansas. A proud
graduate of Arkansas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Business,
Don also served his country with honor in the United States Air Force.

In addition to his military service, Don was a self-taught musician, proficient in
both guitar and violin. His musical talents were a cherished part of family
gatherings and moments at home, often seen playing and singing for the
enjoyment of his loved ones. His appreciation for music and his ability to
entertain will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Don was also known for his love of cooking, particularly Cajun cuisine, which he
delighted in preparing for family and friends. His culinary skills were matched
only by his devotion to his children and grandchildren, with whom he shared
many joyful moments.

Throughout his life, Don lived with a sense of purpose and a commitment to
leaving the world a better place through his beliefs and actions. His legacy is one
of passion, perseverance, and a deep love of family.

Don will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him. His
memory will continue to inspire, and his influence will be felt by all who were
touched by his presence.
