Patrick Arthur Sandberg

Patrick Arthur Sandberg passed away peacefully under hospice care on November 4, 2024. 

Pat was born on January 4, 1953, to John Sandberg and Georgianna (Vizenor) Sandberg in Detroit Lakes, MN. At the young age of 3, Pat began having seizures that had significant impact on his health. 

He lived at home until the age of eighteen and then lived in several group homes around the area, but primarily stayed in Elbow Lake, MN. He made many life-long friends and participated in activities such as shop and the special Olympics where he won many medals and ribbons. He enjoyed family picnics and going to garage sales. His favorite past time was telling stories and teasing family and staff. 

In October of 2022, he made Bethany on the Lake nursing home his home. He made friends quickly and the staff became like family to him. They kept him busy with activities and showered him with the best care. The staff took him bowling, and he was so proud that he got a strike.

Patrick is survived by a sister Rita (Russell) Miller from Detroit Lakes, MN and a brother Michael (Kathy) Sandberg from Fargo, North Dakota; and many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents and nephew, Jeffrey Miller. Interment will be at Oak Grove Cemetery next to his parents. 

A Celebration of Patrick's life will take place on Saturday, November 203, 2024, at 10:30 at Bethany on the Lake Chapel (1020 Lark Street, Alexandria, MN).

Interment will be in Oak Grove Cemetery in Detroit Lakes, MN
