Patrick Loebig, Esq.
About
(passed away October 30, 2023)
It is with great sadness that we have to report that we have lost one of our family members, Patrick Leobig. After a long battle with cancer, he died peacefully with family in Tallahassee, Florida on October 30, 2023. We have no doubt he is already spending time with long lost love ones, talking about how he fought for Florida’s taxpayers and how much he loved coaching volleyball. Click for Obituary
