Pat was born March 2, 1946 in Wharton, Texas.  He graduated from Sam Houston State College.  He married his college sweetheart Ella “Ellie” Nora Clinton, August 24, 1968 in Angleton, Texas.  

After several years living in Dallas, Pat and Ellie decided to follow their passion and moved to Israel to become missionaries.  It was there that their first daughter, Elizabeth, was born.  Upon returning to Texas, they moved to Granbury and had their second daughter, Becka.  Pat worked as an engineer for various companies including Lockheed Martin, Dee Howard, General Dynamics and Bombardier.  He was the pastor of Praise Temple in Glen Rose.   

Pat will be remembered as a loyal servant to God, who loved the church and sharing fellowship with others.  He looked out for those truly in need and never passed up an opportunity to treat his grandkids to ice cream.  He had a passion for art, history, old clocks and antique cars.  

He is survived by his wife of almost 54 year, Ella MacCourt of Granbury; his daughter, Becka Grubbs and her husband Ryan Grubbs of Flower Mound; and his three grandchildren, Taylor, Cash and Presley.  He was preceded in death by his beloved daughter, Elizabeth Ann MacCourt and his parents, Ruby Willye (Dixon) MacCourt and Patrick “Johnny” John MacCourt, Jr.
