Patrick (Pat) Albert Weed, age 79, of Rockville/ Frederick, Maryland, passed away March 20, 2019.  He was surrounded by family and died peacefully. He was the husband of Linda E. (Rundell) Weed.  Pat was born May 3, 1939 in Washington, D.C., and was the 2nd child of the late David L. Weed and Wilma (Sparks) Weed.

He graduated from Richard Montgomery High School in 1957 and enlisted in the U.S  Marine Corps. He trained to be a Mortarman, specifically the 81mm mortars and also trained as an automatic rifleman (the BAR).  He later became a parachutist after completing the Airborne course at Ft.

After serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, Pat graduated from Montgomery College with a degree in Cartography.   He worked as a Cartographer for the Federal Government Defense Mapping Agency and retired after 36 years.  During this time, he also served as the Union President for AFGE Local 3407.   Pat was also an active real estate broker with over 50+ years of experience and owned Patrick Realty Company.  One of Pat’s biggest gifts was helping people, and through real estate he helped not only his friends, but several generations of clients in the Rockville/Kensington area.  He also enjoyed his time owning and working at the ski lodge in Braddock Heights, Maryland.

Pat and Linda enjoyed 42 years of marriage.  They enjoyed traveling and visiting family and friends.    Pat also enjoyed continuing education classes and Sudoku to keep his mind sharp. He loved playing euchre, as well as, his favorite game, Rummikub.  Most importantly, Pat cherished the time he spent with Linda, his 4 kids and 9 grandchildren.
