Patricia Oker, born April 1, 1995, sadly left us on October 26, 2025. Patricia, known for her prompt personality, had a particular blend of determination and flair that was a joy to witness. Whether you knew her through personal ties or admired her poker prowess, her legacy is one that will live on.

A graduate of Central Kitsap School District in Washington state in 2014, Patricia was not just an accomplished academic. Her passions ranged from supporting the Seattle Mariners to enjoying club salads, painting a multifaceted picture of the woman she was. But for Patricia, life presented itself like a deck of cards, ready for her to masterfully unfold her strategy in a game of poker.

Patricia was a force to be reckoned with at the poker table. A fierce competitor, she won her first regional poker tournament in 2023, an accomplishment that resonated within the poker community and beyond. Poker was not just a game for Patricia, it was an art form, a spectacle to be appreciated—and she was known for enjoying various poker tournaments, whether she was playing or a part of the audience.

Her words of wisdom, "You gotta know when to hold ‘em, and know when to fold ‘em," will continue to inspire everyone who knew her. This mantra carried her through the highs and lows of her life and career, culminating in an undefeated legacy that will echo through poker tables for years to come.

While Patricia’s life was tragically cut short just as she was about to win her second regional poker championship, she made an enduring mark on those fortunate enough to have known her. As a tribute to her tenacity and unwavering spirit, her final hand will be presented on her grave—a symbol of her indomitable zeal and unwavering resolve.

Patricia will be remembered not only for her masterful handling of poker but for her warm heart, keen mind, and steadfast commitment to her passions. She lived her life like a poker game, with grace, determination, and just the right amount of audacity. It's a testament to her spirit that even in her absence, she continues to inspire us to strive for excellence and never lose sight of our passion.
