"Pat was a grasshopper of a bloke! Earns every bit of respect when it comes to being nimble and spry like a spaghetti stick. Rest in paradise you magnificent and tasteful individual. I'd like to give my best to the centrifuge that was Pat Patterson. Blessed be the candles that surround you as well as the curvature of your face. There's an old saying in my hometown that goes: "Today you tickle the stranger's spider, tomorrow you slide in the messy mainland". I want to dedicate that one to Pat and all of those close to him. Amen!"

"Thank you for so many memories, watching big time wrestling. Seeing you live at the KTVU studios, the Pleasanton fairgrounds and my favorite the Cow Palace. The fued you had with Ray Stevens was great. You always had great promos and threw the best working punch of all time. Your total career in wrestling has you on my personal Mount Rushmore of wrestlers along with Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair."

"I watched Pat Patterson wrestle when I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Always one of my favorites. A true expert at his craft, and when he meant business, he meant business! Sadden to learn of his death. Takes me back to when wrestling was a family sport, family entertainment. A legend with a beautiful smile. Condolences to his family, friends and all his fans. He provided us with so much when he lived, may he truly rest in peace."

"I cannot express the sadness I feel right now, Pat was one of the most important people in WWE and the first openly gay wrestler of his generation, he is an inspiration to many. R.I.P. Godspeed Pat."

"As a gay man, I thank you for coming out so publicly. I was severely depressed and struggling. When you came out, I stopped blaming myself and gradually learned to accept myself. I can never thank you enough or express how much it meant to me. God bless you and your family, you've truly made a difference."
