Summary

Patrick Edward LaFreniere was born May 21, 1961, at Manistee, the first child of Patrick W. LaFreniere Jr. (Patrick W. LaFreniere) and Elizabeth LaFreniere. A July 1971 Beacon obituary for his sister Isabelle G. LaFreniere separately names “Patrick E. of Manistee” among her surviving brothers, confirming that this is the same family and the same Patrick Edward ten years on.

Evidence and limits

Both notices agree on parentage and the Manistee connection. No later source in the held corpus documents his adult life; as he is plausibly still living, this record reports only the public 1961 birth notice and its 1971 corroboration.

Open questions

  • None outstanding beyond what a later, sourced record might add.

  3. Names "Patrick E. of Manistee" among the surviving brothers of Isabelle G. LaFreniere ([[person/isabelle-g-lafreniere-1971]]), daughter of the same Patrick W. and Elizabeth LaFreniere — matching this record's parentage and 1961 Manistee birthplace and confirming the sibling relationship.
