Patton G. Lochridge ’72

Pat died peacefully June 1, 2017, at his home in Austin, Texas, from glioblastoma. He was 67 years old.

While Pat returned to Texas after freshman year, his presence was large and memorable — from his Stetson down to his boots. Pat came to Princeton from Austin High School, played freshman football, and, as a classmate recalled, was an active participant in the creative Brown-Dod rivalry. He graduated from the University of Texas.

Pat then attended the University of Texas Law School. Following a clerkship in the Ninth Circuit Court, Pat joined the Austin law firm of McGinnis, Lochridge & Kilgore, where he had a successful law practice for 38 years and achieved widespread recognition in the Texas legal community.

Pat is survived by his wife, Candace Lundgren Lochridge; four children, Eleanor Anne Lochridge, Patton Greene Lochridge Jr., Joseph Lundgren Lochridge, and Lloyd Wallace Lochridge; and grandchildren Eleanor Katherine Lochridge and Anne Arden Lochridge. He is also survived by his father, Lloyd P. Lochridge Jr. ’38; sisters Georgia Lochridge, Hope Lochridge, and Frances Lochridge Perez; brother Lloyd P. Lochridge III; and numerous nieces and nephews. The class sends condolences to his family.
