Rye – It is with great sadness that the family of Patrick Allan Mulvey announces his passing on March 7, 2018, at the age of 40. He was born August 21, 1977, in Dover, New Hampshire, the beloved first born child of Bill and Judy (Bishop) Mulvey. In 1981, he became a big brother to Breanne and in 1983 he became a big brother again to Brett. As big brother, Patrick made sure his siblings knew who was in charge of the television remote, how to shoot a basketball and most importantly how much he loved them. As a youth, Patrick could be found playing every sport with a ball. He was a four sport varsity athlete in high school, exceling in football, basketball, baseball, and track. Patrick was the captain of the football, basketball, and track teams. He earned the most valuable player awards for the basketball and track teams, winning the state high jump championship his senior year. He went on to play college basketball at Amherst College. Patrick attended Rye Elementary and Middle Schools.

He started his legal career at the International law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind at their New York, NY offices. Patrick returned to his hometown of Rye, New Hampshire to be near his family and friends, at which time he joined his father’s Portsmouth law firm. He later became a partner at the firm now known as Mulvey, Cornell and Mulvey. Patrick met the love of his life, Lea Anne Henschke, in 2005 and their adventures began. They were married in 2009.
