MCDONALD, Pat (1938 - 2015)
Philipp Patrick McDonald was born January 8, 1938 at Little Brush Creek and went to be with his Heavenly Father on September 1, 2015. He attended Knox Central High School and graduated in 1956. He then attended the University of Florida hoping to pursue a career in medicine. After becoming homesick for the mountains, he came back home and enrolled at Union College where he graduated in 1960 with degrees in history, political science and physical education. After obtaining his Master’s degree at Union, he later attended Eastern Kentucky University where he earned a Rank I degree with a Director of Pupil Personnel certification.
In 1960, he united in marriage with Sharon Smith and to this union three daughters were born. He was employed by the Knox County School System for 35 years beginning his career at a one room school at Davis Bend. He taught a total of 14 years and coached at various schools in the system before finishing his career as the Director of Pupil Personnel (or as he would say “the hooky cop”). After years of retirement, he pursued a political career and was elected to serve as magistrate of District #4. He was very proud to be able to serve his community as he was known to have a servant’s heart.
He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Barbourville, where he served as a deacon and taught the Fishermen Sunday School class. He was a member of Mountain Lodge # 187 F & AM and was presently serving as a board member on the Barbourville Housing Authority. He was commissioned by Wendell H. Ford in 1973 as a Kentucky Colonel. He was an avid hunter and loved listening to his hunting dogs chasing a fox or “treeing” a squirrel. He enjoyed watching the University of Kentucky Wildcat ballgames.
Pat is survived by his wife, Sharon G. McDonald; three daughters, Shawn and husband, John White; Patti Adams and Erin and husband, Steve Grubb. He is also survived by five grandchildren, Jennie White, John Patrick White, Brenna Adams, Trevor Grubb and Jared Grubb; one brother, Michael McDonald; as well as a host of former students, ball players, friends and family.
Preceding him in death are his father, Maxwell D. McDonald; his mother, Ina L. McNeil McDonald; his son-in-law, Bill Adams; grandsons, Brady and Dalton Adams and a sister-in-law, Ako McDonald.
His funeral service will be conducted at the First Baptist Church of Barbourville Friday, September 4 at 2 P.M. with Rev. Shane Nickell and Rev. Denvil Taylor officiating. He will be laid to rest in the Barbourville Cemetery with Masonic funeral rites.
Casket bearers will be Steve Grubb, Gary Smith, Ivan J. Smith, Rodney Smith, Scott Smith and John White. Honorary bearers will be Harold Gregory, Bob Koehler, Stanley Peace, Dr. B. J. Wilson, Adrian Dunaway, Dr. Tom Ashburn, Margie Gilbert, Stanley Miller, Jay Roger Keck, Brenda Corey, 1963 Gray School Green Devils basketball team members, Fishermen Sunday School class, Knox County Fiscal Court, Knox County Home Health, staff of the Barbourville Family Health Center, deacons of the First Baptist Church and the Dairy Queen Breakfast Club.
