Patrick Henry Tweedy

Patrick Henry Tweedy, 82, of Lynch Station, entered his heavenly home on Monday, December 26, 2022. He was the beloved husband of the late Joyce Faye Colbert Tweedy. He was born December 15, 1940 as the son of the late William Franklin Tweedy and Sally Mae Keesee Tweedy. Throughout his life Pat was a member of Liberty Baptist Church, in Evington. As a younger man, Pat was a Sr. Airman in the U.S. Air Force, serving as a flight line mechanic. After marrying the love of his life, Joyce in 1963, they welcomed their oldest son, William, followed by Annette and Mark. Pat founded Altavista Alarm Company in 1982. With this same enthusiasm and ambition for life, he later returned to the blue skies as a private pilot. Pat served his community in many facets - as a member of the Lynch Station Ruritan Club, a Colonel in the Virginia Defense Force, a Scout Master and District Chairmen of the Boy Scouts of America, and long time member of the planning commissions board for Campbell County. He found joy in sharing the love of God. He spent much of his time sharing this love with young people as a youth leader, as a scout master, as well as serving his church community as a song leader and deacon. He extended this love, by example, far beyond the community with a passion for missions and missionaries around the world. While active in his community, Pat gave the most of himself to his family. His family grew throughout the years and brought him great happiness. Pat is survived by three children, William Tweedy, and his wife, Tonya of Lynch Station, Annette Tweedy of Gretna, and Mark Tweedy of Myrtle Beach, SC; eight grandchildren, Lance, Austin, Brooklynn, London, Tiffany, Ashleigh, Dustin and Whitney; and nine great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by a daughter, Angela Tweedy; and two sisters, Molly Higginbotham and Evelyn Simpson.
