Patrick Lee Alberts was born May 22, 1954, in Cedar Rapids, to Leo and Caryl (Miner) Alberts. He graduated from Kennedy High School, then joined the Air Force in 1972, serving as a weapons mechanic. Pat was proud of his service in the military. Upon return home, he attended Kirkwood to begin a career in welding and fabricating. He worked mostly on small engines, and was great with his hands—he even dabbled in carpentry. He loved fishing, going to the casino, and was an avid Green Bay Packers fan. Go Pack Go.

He was preceded in death by his father, Leo.
