Robert William Pattison passed peacefully on December 28th at his home in Lynnwood, WA while he watched the Seahawk battle the Rams.  He is survived by his wife, Viktoriya, his stepson Dima, 7 younger siblings and countless family and friends.

Bob was born in Seattle on July 29, 1956. He graduated from Nathan Hale High School and began a life-long career and passion as an avid fisherman. Combing the Bering Sea for over 40 years and Captain of many vessels, most notable, the chasing boat filming the “Deadliest Catch.”  When Bob was forced back to civilization you could find him on a river, along the Sound or at the ocean, fishing of course.  He adored spending time with his nieces and nephews and was worshipped by each. He always put others first. He was the most loyal and honest brother, husband, friend, employee, and acquaintance one could ever have. The world is less without him and our pain from his loss is calmed a little by the utter joy of spending our life with his remarkable soul. The dash between his birth and death represents the days he made a difference to so many touched by him.

The Seas will rise up to greet Bob’s ashes in Alaska, Washington and Hawaii.
