I just got a disturbing report that Pat McHale was murdered by a neighbor who had threatened Pat's wife, Pat went to confront him about the threat after having called the sheriff and Pat was shot and killed. Horrible, third hand but reliable source. The suspect is still at large.
 
Oh no, how horrible, awful, I'm so sorry for his family and friends. He was a good guy on here. Insane tragedy.
 
Years of no one coming to their aid. The judicial and law enforement agency of the county failed to protect a valued citizen for several years and it ended as we all feared. RIP Pat, I will miss you. I lost a best friend and someone that was family to me. He took good care of me and I am forever grateful for that.

Where did this happen? I am not familiar with Pat, but it sounds horrible.

near Navasota Texas in Central Texas. Pat trained gun dogs but might be best known for the being best snake avoidance trainer around. I know he was bitten by a rattlesnake at least once, a good dude!
 
Very sad day! Pat was loved by all and a great friend. Always could put a smile on your face. We will miss you Pat! Many prayers needed for Michelle and Family! I pray God gives them the peace they need to get through this trying time!

The pup I have right now I bought from Pat two years ago out of a bitch he leased. He was a super nice guy. Opened his home up to my wife and I when we drove 12 hours to pick the pup up. Sorry to hear the news.
 
OMG. This is awful. He was always so friendly and funny. I've marshalled a couple of tests he was running - he always liked to pick at me. I just can't believe this. I am so so very sorry for his family. I just can't imagine how they feel right now. RIP Pat. I'll miss you at the Hunt Tests.
 
He called me a couple months ago…said he was up north (MN?) for the summer. Met him when I drove to his place to breed my dog to Finn over the winter. Great Guy!!! You are lucky to know him longer than I did. Wish I had known him longer and better. My heart started racing when I read the post!!! :mad: :(
