He graduated from TAC in 1976 and joined the United States Air Force upon graduation at the age of 17.

After retiring from the Air Force, he worked at Fleetwood in Lexington, MS.

He was preceded in death by his parents and three siblings, Joe Nathan Patterson, Johnnie Mac Patterson, and Alma Jean "Debbie" Claiborne.
He leaves to cherish his memories: his wife, Patricia Brown Claiborne, three children, Jeff(Carolyn) Claiborne, Kathryn(Cedric) Alexander, and Keshondra Claiborne; Eight grandchildren: Tyler Claiborne, Landon Claiborne, Braelyn Claiborne, Denisha Alexander, Devin Alexander, Dylan Alexander, Delany Alexander and Kylan Keith; two sisters, Susie(Lee)McGary and Melva(Vernon)Hudson; two brothers; LM (Delmethric)Claiborne and Maurice(Lucille)Corinth; a special nephew he considered a brother Marty(Barbara)Claiborne, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
