In Loving Memory of Patrick Little Honoring a Life Lost in a Tragic Hanover Pike Crash
The community of Baltimore County is grieving the heartbreaking loss of 62-year-old Patrick Little, who passed away following a devastating multi-vehicle crash on the evening of November 20 near the intersection of Hanover Pike and Lees Mill Road. What began as a routine drive turned into a tragedy that has left a family shattered and a community mourning a man remembered for his kindness, steady presence, and unwavering love for those around him.
Around 6:00 p.m., Baltimore County Police responded to the scene of a serious collision involving three vehicles. According to detectives, a 2012 Dodge Ram and a 2014 Ford F-150—the vehicle Patrick was driving—collided while traveling southbound on Hanover Pike. The impact pushed the Ford F-150 into the northbound lane, where it struck a 2021 Buick, causing extensive damage and catastrophic injuries.
First responders swiftly arrived and transported Patrick to a nearby hospital. Despite all efforts by medical personnel, he tragically succumbed to his injuries. The driver of the Buick suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and the Baltimore County Police Crash Team is continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the collision.
Patrick Little’s passing is a staggering loss to those who knew and loved him. At 62, he was a man deeply rooted in his relationships—a devoted family member, a loyal friend, and a steady figure in the lives of many.

He approached life with humility and sincerity, making a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to cross his path.
His family remembers him for his unwavering love, his hard work, and his reliability. Patrick was the person people counted on—the one who showed up, who listened, who lifted others up with quiet encouragement and gentle strength. He found joy in simple moments: sharing meals, spending time with loved ones, engaging in hobbies he cherished, and embracing the peace of everyday life. His presence brought comfort, and his absence leaves an ache that cannot be measured.
