I’m excited for the day!’ I still hear you every morning,” she continued. “You were a coach who fired me up to be ambitious and competitive, while still reminding me Zen-like, that success is in the journey. You were a teacher who taught me the freedom of life away from the hustle and bustle of a rigid schedule. You were the epitome of living in the present. “You were one with the earth.

You were known as Pat, Padre, Coach, Ferg, Mr. Ferguson, Papa, Grampa, Patrick, and Patricio… but most importantly, You were my Dad,” she continued in the post. “I feel of you every time I watch an NFL game, have a beer at Mavericks, and hear a Rolling Stones song. I see you waving at me every time the wind hits the trees. I love You Dad.” Fergie’s dad, Jon Patrick Ferguson dies at 74 on 27th August 2021.
