"Patrick's Project"
“Patrick’s Project”
will honor the memory of our beloved son, Patrick Wayne Fagan.
Patrick was actively
involved in the community through Top Teens of America, Inc., the Houston Police
Department Blue Santa Program and the Child Developing Center, Inc., which was
the Fagan Family Community Service Project. He enjoyed giving and gave
unselfishly of himself to others.
The quality of
leadership possessed by Patrick earned him a Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do after
five years of intense training. He enjoyed playing tennis and was a four-year
varsity letterman and the recipient of the prestigious Pioneer Award. He was a
member of USTA (United States Tennis Association) and played with Femi Thomas
Tennis Pro International. As a first time football player, during his senior
year, he received a varsity letter and received the Most Improved Varsity
Football Player Award. Patrick was a 2010 inaugural class graduate of the Youth
Entrepreneurship Academy (YEA), which is a part of the Texas Business Alliance.
The Shark Tank Award given each year at the YEA graduation has been renamed the
Patrick Wayne Fagan Shark Tank Award in honor of his outstanding achievements
while he participated in that program.
He attended the Imani
School, Lutheran South Academy High School and Stephen F. Austin State
University (SFA).
Among Patrick’s many
activities while attending SFA, he joined the tennis club, pledged with the Tau
Kappa Epsilon (TKE) Fraternity, played on the Steen East Intramural Basketball
Team and participated in the Campus Crusade for Christ Ministry.
Our family has
partnered with Unlimited Visions Aftercare, Inc., (UVA) to do “Patrick’s
Project,” which is a vision he had to provide tennis lessons for
underprivileged and underserved children in the community. It was Patrick’s
belief that there are many scholarship opportunities for children who play
tennis and that those scholarship opportunities could lead to a college
education and a way out of poverty for young kids so that they can have better
lives. When Patrick’s vision was shared
with the CEO of UVA, she said, “That is something that we can make happen to
honor his memory.”
UVA provides
residential treatment for substance abuse for children between the ages of 13
and 17. A tennis court will be built at the Preston location to provide tennis
lessons for these children and ultimately show them that through tennis, they
can have opportunities for scholarships to
receive an education and a better life.
