Bio: Patricio 'Patrick' E. Zamarripa was born to Enrique and Valerie Zamarripa on Aug. 15, 1983, in Fort Worth, where he was also raised. He is the second child of three.

Patrick graduated from R.L. Paschal High School where he played baseball and the trumpet in the band. After high school he joined the Navy and served his Country valiantly. After three tours in Iraq, he returned home to Fort Worth, in which he answered his calling to law enforcement as a police officer. In 2010, he graduated from the police academy and joined the ranks of the Dallas Police Department. In 2013, he and his soul mate Kristy, welcomed their beautiful baby girl Lyncoln Rae Zamarripa, in which Patrick referred to as his “new reason for life.' He also loved his stepson, Dylan, in which he called his little 'buddy'.

Patrick was an extreme patriot of community, state and country. He had a passion for all things sports and loved to represent his favorite teams. He was so much to so many: a loving father, spouse, son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, godfather and friend to all. He loved his family and friends with all he had. His passion for life and the love he always gave will live through all who knew him and his legacy will forever carry on in all of our hearts. He was always a protector to many here on earth and will now be our protector in the heavens.
