Remembrances

I lost my love this week to a surprise heart attack.

I may not be able to respond immediately.

I will write more soon.
— Geo Jedlicka, 31 Mar 2024

I am sad to say that we've lost another of our dancers this past week. Patrick Ross (partner of Geo Jedlicka) suffered a major heart attack on Tuesday March 26 when they were out line dancing in Brooklyn. Patrick participated in square dancing at all levels with enthusiasm and much love for his friends. He was in the Brooklyn Hospital for several days before going into organ failure. He never regained consciousness. RIP, Patrick. You will be terribly missed.
— Ett McAtee

This is quite a shock … Hard to believe something like this could happen to him at age 70. I picture him as too fit to have health issues. I’ve enjoyed dancing with him since NACC, Virginia Beach, 1993. He and Geo were always in the stands for our IAGSDC group photo. I will miss his smile, his lively spirit and his kind-hearted ways.

I especially remember the good time we had in the C3A hall at the American A&C weekend in Toledo, 1993.
— Karl Jaeckel

Oh, Karl, this is so tragic and sad! Patrick was such a vital, enthusiastic and caring person. He always had a smile. I'll especially remember his kindness in dancing a tip, helping me through some tough Geo C3A at the A&C weekend in Denver (2012). Was surprised he remembered me so well. He and Geo were so perfect together; he must be devastated. My heart is full for Geo's loss.

Thank you for letting me know.

Over the weekend we learned that Patrick Ross had passed away after a heart attack. One of the most fun square dances I ever danced was with Patrick and his husband, Geo Jedlicka. Patrick was kind and patient and he had a great sense of humor. The loss is profound and of course, our hearts mourn with Geo.
