Patrick Alan McRoberts, 57, a longtime Belltown fixture and Seattle political advocate/consultant, died in his sleep on May 26, following a lingering heart condition.

A former longtime staffer in the public relations firm Gogerty Stark Marriott, he also co-founded the local history Web site HistoryLink.org and the literary zine Point No Point.

In the 1980s, he occasionally performed in the SPKN WRDS performance series at the Two Bells, where he remained a regular customer. He was also a performer in a couple of goodtime rock/folk/blues bands, the DelVros and the Peptides.

So far, the only McRoberts obit online is the one supplied by his family to the paper in the Iowa town of his birth.
