Good afternoon to all of our wonderful friends in the Crappie World!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Patterson Pest Patrol will not be hosting a Patterson Pest Patrol Crappie Throwdown this year, as we had originally planned. However, we will be supporting Bi-State Crappie Club in the tournament in honouring Wayne Wright's Fishing Legacy.

Wayne was a longtime friend of mine and I was saddened by his passing. Our prayers are with Kelli N Wayne Wright and of their family.

Come out and support the tournament on October 10th.

Rest Easy Our Dear Friend, Wayne Wright.

I’ve been trying to figure out what to say, and the truth is, I’m at a loss for words.

With Kelli’s permission, I want to share that Wayne Wright passed away.

Wayne was just one of those people that when you were around him, you knew you were in the presence of a better person than yourself.

When I put together the very first ETX Outdoors Field Team and saw Wayne’s name come through, I remember being absolutely astounded. First, that Wayne Wright even knew who I was. And second, that he wanted to be a part of something I was building.

But Wayne saw the vision. He believed in it, he was proud to be a part of it, and I will always be proud that he was one of the people who helped start it.

The conversations with Wayne were always easy. Just a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to sit beside him and talk for several hours. We talked about life, fishing, ETX Outdoors and everything in between. It felt like talking to a father figure, a friend and a mentor all at the same time. I could have sat beside his bed all day and just talked to him.

I’ve thought a lot about that conversation since then.

We put so much importance on hunting and fishing and all of these things we love about the outdoors. But in the grand scheme of things, none of it is really that important on its own.

It becomes important because of the people we do it with.

It’s the people we meet, the friendships we make, the time we spend together and the memories we get to carry with us when that time is over.

Wayne was one of those people who made it important.

I don’t really know how to end this because I don’t know how to put into words what it means to lose someone like him. I just know I’m incredibly grateful that Wayne Wright knew who I was, that he believed enough in what I was building to put his name beside mine, and most of all, that somewhere along the way I got to call him my friend.

There will always be a place for Wayne in ETX Outdoors. He was there at the beginning, and he’ll always be part of this story.

I’m going to miss you, Wayne.

Rest easy, Stormin Norman Fishing

Christmas for Seniors

For the last several years, I have traveled some distance with our pest control company. I love making people smile and extending a helping hand to the “Senior Communities” when needed. Sometimes, it is just a simple card, or maybe a small anonymous donation to help. For several years prior to working in the pest control industry, I worked in the medical field with “Seniors”, which rapidly became personally rewarding.

After starting in the pest control business, the heart carried those feelings over. I have experienced immense satisfaction in helping seniors maintain a healthy quality environment in their homes, through our pest control services. Unmistakenly, I feel that we make a huge impact on older people’s lives in a unique way. It is both extremely rewarding and equally challenging for us to make a difference in the lives of others, working with the elderly.

We want to help seniors feel included and valued during the holiday season by giving to them. By planning thoughtful and enjoyable gifts, we create a memorable Christmas experience for them. It isn’t “how much or how big” a gift is, it is “the thought that counts”. We see so many in “Senior Properties” that are in need. Therefore, several years ago I started purchasing small gifts all year long and placing them in a box, along with gift bags, on my own.

This year, I decided to share the blessings with others and start “Christmas for Seniors”. It is a donation program for seniors that aims to provide essential gifts during the holiday season. When selecting Christmas gifts for seniors, consider items that are practical, comforting, and safe. Here are some thoughtful personal care items that can bring joy and comfort during the holiday season:

• small trinket
• small photo album
• set of greeting cards and stamps
• cozy fleece blanket
• warm socks
• toiletries / hygiene items for male or female

The radiant smiles and rings of laughter that echo brings it all together when I deliver these gifts each year. It’s all about spending time together, feeling included, because some of these residents don’t get to see their families on a regular basis. Some are alienated from their families for one reason or another. Some residents do not have any family at all.

If you would like to donate any of these items or drop off a monetary amount to our office at 1005 Hwy 59 Queen City, Texas 75572, please do so by December 1st. Let us be your hands and feet. Be a blessing to someone through Patterson Pest Patrol, LLC.

Sincerely,

Shelia K. Patterson, CA & Owner
