Over the summer, the Charlotte Hornets lost a major piece of the organization as public address announcer Pat "Big Pat" Doughty passed away at the age of 55.
"Big Pat" was a huge part of the Hornets' gameday experience, delivering some of the most iconic phrases in his delivery. He brought the energy every single night regardless of how the team was performing or how many fans were in the stands. He was a true professional and easily one of the best public address announcers to ever do it.
Aside from his unique announcing skills, Pat was a tremendous human being.
