Patrick James Ennis, 68, formerly of Syracuse, passed away on September 15, 2016 in San Jose, Burgos, Spain, while on a great adventure walking the Camino de Santiago with his friend, Roger.

At the age of 66, Pat's career culminated when he became a certified journeyman farrier, the highest level certification available from the American Farrier's Association.

Pat had a great love for his family, friends, travel and adventure. He considered his friends as family because he never met a stranger. He had a beautiful way of helping everyone and appreciating how important love is in order to live a happy life.

Pat was predeceased by his daughter, Megan Ennis.
