Patrick J. Mcaleavey, M.D.

Dr. Patrick J. McAleavey passed away in the loving company of his family on August 6, 2019 at the age of 71. He was born in Detroit, MI on June 8, 1948 to parents, Joseph L. and Constance (Norvell) McAleavey. He graduated from Bishop Luers High School in Fort Wayne, earned his B.S. degree from Marquette University in 1970 and his M.D. from Indiana University School of Medicine in 1974.

Dr. McAleavey (Dr. Pat) was a professional gas passer and practiced Anesthesiology at Methodist Hospital. He was a member of Alpha Sigma Nu, Alpha Delta Gamma, Alpha Epsilon Delta, American Society of Anesthesiologists, Indiana Society of Anesthesiologists, American Medical Association, Indianapolis Medical Society, St. Luke Catholic Church, and was an Eagle Scout. Combining his love of music and medicine, Dr. Pat loved DJ’ing directly from his anesthesia machine for his colleagues and patients. In his younger years, Dr. Pat was an avid golfer and ballroom dancer with an impeccable cha-cha-chá. His big personality and deep belly laugh became a trademark to those who knew him. While he loved taking his family on vacations to Marco Island, FL and San Fransisco, CA, his favorite place to be was next to his wife and kids.
