He was born on February 25, 1952, in Springfield, OH, the son of the late Warren Bishop Campbell and Betty (Bouse) Lyons.

A 1970 graduate of Athens High School, Pat proudly served in the United States Army during Vietnam and was a member of the Athens American Legion Post 246. After his time in the service, he received his Bachelor's degree from Mansfield University. He worked at Ingersoll Rand for several years and then went on to finish his career as a computer specialist for Guthrie Robert Packer Hospital. Pat was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Towanda, PA where he did clerical work for the church for many years.

He was a coach for the Athens Little League and a Stats Keeper for the Athens High School Football Team. Pat had a love for sports and was an avid fan of the Athens Wildcats, Penn State Football, and New York Giants and Yankees.

Pat was a previous volunteer with the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts of America. He enjoyed music and art. He especially had love for gardening and one of his favorite things to do was plant flower beds with his wife, Sharon.
