Patterson died last November in his sleep after a long battle with heart problems. He was 46. ``Honoring him each year will become something of a tradition for us,'' said Highlanders coach Sean Collyer, who was named interim coach after Patterson's death last year, then got the job full time at the end of the season. ``He was such a great guy, and he meant so much to so many people. This is something that is very important to us.'' For Collyer and his team, next month's tribute is a chance to pay their respects again to Patterson and try to move forward.
