I'm cross-posting this from Facebook as I don't think Patrick was active here but many of the people he touched are.
From Robert Zinselmeyer
"This sad news come to me through Ed Beekman and he asked to pass it along to the wider ASL community. Patrick Ireland passed away July 16, 2019.
His loss is a great blow to the ASL community, especially those just joining via SK since he worked with a HUGE number of players from all over the world. His generosity and patience was incredible.
You may or may not know that the North Texas Shoot Out added a Starter Kit event last year and named it after him in honor of all he has done for the ASL community. He presented the award to the Ireland Starter Kit Champion.
Please keep him and his family in your thoughts and/or prayers."
I worked with Patrick to help him create an archive of VASL scenarios. He was a great guy and will be truly missed.
