Graveside services will begin at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday at Desert Lawn Memorial Park, 1401 S. Union St. in Kennewick. Pat was born July 27, 1923, in Ririe, Idaho. His parents were Nephi Fielding and Zenetta Sophia McMurtrey Fielding. He was raised in Shelley, Idaho, where he graduated from high school. Pat married Faye Jackson in March 1947. She died in April 1987. He was married to Edith Spicher. They were later divorced. In November 1998, he married Delores Brown Severe. Pat served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He provided aircraft repair and logistical support. His lifelong occupation was farming. He homesteaded a farm in Powell, Wyo., for 10 years. The family then moved to Thomas, Idaho, where he continued to farm until moving to Kennewick in 1974. Pat lived in the Kennewick and Pasco areas until 1996, before retiring to Summerville. Pat raised and trained Haflinger carriage horses. He was a “teamster” on a three-month-long wagon train from Omaha, Neb., to Salt Lake City. Pat was a cowboy poet and entertained at many community events. He had a fabulous sense of humor and a story for every occasion, family members said. He loved all kinds of sports and games, and was very competitive in chess, cards, golf and any sport.
