Description Everyone that met him liked him. Everyone that knew him loved him. Patrick Christopher Brandt was a son, a brother, an adoring husband, devoted father, and best friend to all. He wore his heart on his sleeve and shared it with the world. In the fall of 99’ Pat was diagnosed with brain cancer. Though he didn’t know it at the time, he would be embarking on a journey that would touch the lives of thousands, and inspire all that knew him to live out the rest of there lives with passion and meaning. Thru countless bouts of chemotherapy and multiple surgeries Pat never lost his smile. Pat didn’t run from his cancer, he embraced it. Pat was a strong promoter of the White Bear Lake relay for life, and the American Cancer Society. He was called upon as keynote speaker, and shared his story to all. His employer Lexis Nexis was so moved by his story that they had him speak to hundreds of co-workers at one of their sales conventions. Though married with kids, and carrying a heavy work load Pat always found time to council other cancer survivors, and listen to their story. On March 2nd 2008 at the age of 37 our dear friend Pat lost his battle with cancer. Pat left behind a wife Jessica, and two beautiful boys Wesley and Charlie ages five and two. In his passing Pat left us with many precious memories, and life lessons learned.

Since its inception, the Always Dream Foundation has purchased computers for an after-school mentoring program, provided "shopping sprees" for underprivileged children to purchase back-to-school clothing, organized Holiday parties for children's shelters and sponsored summer camp for kids with disabilities. Our continuing goal is to find innovative ways to provide funding for a diverse range of programs designed to inspire and embrace the hopes and dreams of children and adolescents. In order to support our funding activities, the Foundation produces several special events on an annual basis.
