Antonio Lenard Patterson

Antonio Lenard Patterson was a North Charleston man whose life was rooted in family and community. He was a father to Aaliyah Patterson, Antonio Patterson III, Kingston President‑Patterson, Amiyah Patterson and Kyrei Paterson, and a son to Angela Burton and Antonio Patterson Sr., details recorded in the memorial notice published by his funeral home. Family members and friends who posted to his memorial remembered him in affectionate terms, describing him through short messages of love and grief.

His passing on the evening of October 18, 2023, was widely reported by local news outlets after the Charleston County Coroner identified him among two men who died following gunshot wounds outside a North Charleston nightclub. Those reports note the community sorrow that followed the loss and that funeral services were arranged locally, with a homegoing service and visitation scheduled through The Low Country Mortuary in North Charleston.

Public records of services and the memorial page indicate the importance of family in Antonio’s life: he is listed among many siblings and extended relatives, and the funeral arrangements provided an occasion for the community to gather and honor his memory. While public reporting understandably focuses on the events surrounding his death, family notices and the memorial guest book emphasize the human connections he leaves behind — children, parents, siblings and friends who remember him in small, personal ways.

There is limited publicly available information about Antonio’s work, hobbies, or other personal pursuits beyond what appears in family notices and local reporting. That absence does not diminish the fact that he was a person with relationships and obligations, and his death touched loved ones who named him and recorded remembrances. Those who wish to honor him are invited to the recorded memorial arrangements and to the messages left by family on his funeral page.

Antonio’s life, as reflected in funeral records and local reporting, is a reminder that behind every publicized event there are families and everyday ties — children who knew him as a father, parents and siblings who knew him as a son and brother, and friends who remember shared moments. Those personal connections are central to any remembrance of him.
