Patrick Axel Obituary
At just 31, Patrick is remembered for his contagious laugh and humorous outlook on life which made an impression on everyone he met.
He was passionate about trivia nights with his loving wife Janet, practicing Jiu Jitsu at Lycan's Den MMA, and caring for his kitties Scrappy, Wang Miao, and Luigi.
Born in Vestal, NY, July 8, 1994, Patrick graduated from Victor High School in 2012 and Rochester Institute of Technology in 2017 with a BS in Electrical Engineering.
His joy was infectious and his loyalty to those he loved was unwavering. He is survived by his wife Janet Sorrells, his mother Peggy Axel, father Jon Axel and his wife Melissa Axel. Brothers Andrew Axel, Colin Axel and sister-in-law Gina Axel and niece Norah. Maternal Grandmother Beverly Casadonte, mother-in-law Judiann Petronis, father-in-law David Sorrells, many Aunts, Uncles, cousins and a large circle of friends that were like family.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

I am so extremely saddened to learn of Pat's passing. Pat and my son Spencer were best of buddies. Pat was one of those individuals that would truly listen with a caring heart. I remember asking Spencer after his wedding what the favorite wedding gift he received was. It was from Pat. Pat gave him exactly $1 more than Spencer had given for their wedding....LOL. What a great sense of humor! Pat will be missed by all.
