Patrick Nolen

March 18, 1978 - October 11, 2020

Dr Nolen was a beloved and esteemed member of the Department of Economics at University of Essex for over a decade. He joined Essex in 2006 and immediately became an invaluable part of every aspect of the Department's life. He was an outstanding and sought-after educator, an extremely driven and high-achieving researcher, and an inspirational and exemplar leader. He played a key role in the development of EssexLab and became its Director recently. To his colleagues, Patrick was a sparkling presence and much like a family member. He was generous, funny, lively, and very much loved. He is greatly missed.

I met Patrick when I joined Essex in 2017. Since my office was second next to his office, our dialogue initiated naturally by him dropping salutes, compliments while passing by. When there was a social gathering in the department, I would look for Patrick to sit close to him because his table would be the most fun one for sure. I remember telling him to take me with him if he ever plans to leave our department because life would be boring without him. His untimely departure left me shocked and numb. I am glad that I had the chance to spend a night with Patrick when we were in San Diego last December. It was a long and fun night. I regret that I could not find any picture of him and me together. I will always remember his lively and colourful character, his loud waves of laughter, and generous compliments. I miss him deeply!!
