The caption read:

"RIP my brother Patrick Joseph Stone. 🕊️"

TMZ reported that Patrick's wife Tasha shared the news with friends on social media.

"My heart feels like it's been ripped out of my chest. Patrick went to be with our sweet River... I don't know what else to say, he was my world."
"I'm not sure what life is supposed to look like without my husband by my side and quite honestly I don't want to, but I will of course. I just hope that you always stay by my side watching over Hunter, Kaylee and I."

She finished:

"Until we meet again I will forever hold you and our wonderful (and some not so wonderful but just as important) memories close to my heart and will visit those memories always."
"I love you honey babe. My wish through all of this is that now at least River has his daddy with him and I hope the two of you are having the best time."

Our sincerest condolences to the Stone family—may Patrick rest in peace.

Back in March 2025, it was revealed that the administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump had slashed funding for Alzheimer’s research as part of their purge of all things diversity, equity, or inclusion (DEI) related.

It was also later revealed that most of the cuts were done by Elon Musk's untrained, unqualified Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) personnel—who couldn't define or describe diversity, equity, or inclusion even after making $16.5 billion of initially listed cuts across 1,127 cancelled or adjusted federal contracts because of "DEI"—using AI filters.

Video Of McDonald's Worker Dropping Food On Floor Before Putting It Back On Tray Sparks Food Safety Debate

We've all heard of the "five-second rule," where when you drop a piece of food on a safe surface, you can still eat it if you've picked it back up within five seconds. Most people won't bat an eye at this when they're at home or with friends, again, if the food is dropped in a safe and clean location, like on a kitchen counter while making a plate.

But a floor really should never be included among the safe and clean surface options, especially when that floor is in a public space, and the five-second rule shouldn't even exist in food service spaces.
