Patrick's wife, Tasha, also took to social media and wrote in part: "My sweet, loving and often times obnoxious husband I would not have changed a minute of the last 20 years (except for our baby going to Heaven) other than showing you more love.
"You will always hold the biggest piece of my heart."
Tasha added: "My wish through all of this is that now at least River has his daddy with him and I hope the two of you are having the best time. Please give him the biggest hug and kiss from all of us and keep him out of mischief. Go hunting and fishing everyday."
Sharon Stone also has a sister called Kelly and another brother called Michael. In her book "The Beauty of Living Twice," Sharon wrote about how close she was to Patrick and in recent years also to Michael. The family has roots that can be traced back to Co Galway during the Great Hunger.
"We came from poverty and violence," Stone said in a 2021 interview, "We were tough, we were Irish, we looked richer than we were. We had pride, if nothing else.”
In August 2021, Sharon shared how Patrick's son River had passed away. River was Patrick's youngest child. He was found in his crib in total organ failure.
Along with a tribute she wrote, "My nephew and godson River Stone was found in his crib w[sic] total organ failure today."
She added "Please pray for him. We need a miracle."
