Patrick Sean Mullen, 62 of Iron Belt, WI was lifted from the loving embrace of his children on June 16, 2017. Patrick was born in Ironwood, MI to Patricia Nolan and Donald Mullen on November 12, 1954. Growing up he helped build the family cottage along with his siblings at Island Lake. He liked to refer to himself as "the farm boy from Brooklyn", having lived there as a child. He enlisted in the United States Navy in the early 1970''s, serving aboard the USS Charles P. Cecil, a destroyer ship, and the George C. Marshall, a nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine, receiving the National Defense Medal. In 1980 Patrick met Sherry Schwartz of Ironwood, whom he married in 1986 and shared four children with. Patrick enjoyed teaching his children how to ski while working at Big Powderhorn Mountain as hill operations coordinator for 25 years. He was a talented musician and played in many bands as lead guitarist with his ''73 Gibson Les Paul custom. He enjoyed spending time with his children and friends at Island Lake. Patrick took pride in his wardrobe, especially while bartending. He was extremely proud of his children and also proud to be a wee bit Irish. Pat was never at a loss for a comeback or a wisecrack. He was funny, quick-witted, charming, and never suffered from a lack of confidence while entertaining everyone with his contagious sense of humor. Pat enjoyed camp-life and living "off the grid". He was very intelligent and shared much of his knowledge. He strived to be a good person and do the right thing. Pat was very genuine and would never turn his back on someone who needed help. He is survived by his three children, Michael of Hurley, David of Iron Belt, and Tiffany of Ironwood; three grandchildren, Timothy, Madeline, and Keegan; and his God-son, Adam Kangas of Iron Belt. He is also survived by his siblings, Donna (Mark) Campbell of Marquette, Mary (John) Abbott of Pewaukee, and Daniel of Iron Belt; and his step-father, Rudy Kangas of Iron Belt. Patrick was preceded in death by his mother and father; his beloved son, Patrick Timothy; his brother Nicholas Kangas; brother-in-law, Alan Kangas; and his dog, Nicholls.
