He was a Vietnam Veteran who served in the Air Force and retired from the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division where he served as a government civilian and contractor supporting the Environmental Safety Office.  Macon was an avid outdoorsman who loved hunting, fishing, gardening, golfing or just sitting on the porch enjoying the wildlife.  Macon never met a stranger and was eager to lend a helping hand in any way he could.

Patteson, son Jamie Patteson and his wife Tara Jo, his grandson Jay Patteson, and several nieces and nephews.
