Sharon Stone recalls special times with deceased brother amid new loss

0 28



When Sharon Stone was 7, she was the proud sister of her baby brother, Patrick, and recalls rapidly pulling him around in a yellow toy truck in their family home in Meadville, Pennsylvania, then him tumbling out of the truck, leaving Sharon to wonder if that fall had caused the dyslexia he’d later struggle with. (Health experts believe dyslexia is caused by genetic factors, not physical injuries.)

On Monday, the 64-year-old “Basic Instinct” star tearfully confirmed that Patrick Stone, 57, her “best friend,” had died of a heart attack Sunday. TMZ reported that Patrick Stone’s heart attack was brought on by heart disease, with his death marking the latest health tragedy to strike Sharon Stone’s large, close-knit family.

In August 2021, River Stone, Patrick’s 11-month-old son and Sharon’s nephew and godson, died after suffering what was described as “total organ failure.” Before River’s death, Stone’s “adopted grandmother” Eileen Mitzman died from complications associated with COVID-19 in 2020. Stone’s older sister, Kelly, who has lupus, and Kelly’s husband, Bruce, also dealt with serious COVID-19 complications before recovering that year, while the actor also revealed that her mother, Dorothy Stone, had suffered “two heart attacks” in previous months.

Stone also survived her own life-threatening health scare, as she recalled in her 2021 autobiography, “The Beauty of Living Twice.” In 2001, when she was living in San Francisco and married to then-San Francisco Examiner executive editor Phil Bronstein, she suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage that led to an extended hospital stay and long period of recovery and hiatus from acting. Her family — including Patrick, her mother, father, sister and older brother — rushed to San Francisco to be by her side in the hospital, she wrote in her book.

Stone described Patrick as “the best of all four of us kids” in her book. She said he grew up to be “big and real handsome,” but “the quiet type.” As he struggled in school with reading and writing, due to his dyslexia, she said the teachers “weren’t kind” and even singled him out in the classroom for “torment.” Nonetheless, she wrote that he grew up to be “the kindest, the most generous, the softest of heart.”

With his wife Tasha Stone, Patrick had two other children, Hunter and Kaylee, and the family lived in Ohio. “My heart feels like it’s been ripped out of my chest,” Tasha Stone wrote on social media, the Daily Mail reported. “Patrick went to be with our sweet River… I don’t know what else to say, he was my world.”

Prior to Patrick Stone’s death, the last time his sister shared news about her media-shy brother on Instagram was in 2018 when she and her brother took their children to Alaska. “Took my family to see Alaska last week. Spectacular!!!” Stone captioned photos of the family visiting gleaming, ice-blue glaciers.

“We saw icebergs actually break off in huge pieces and fall into the water, big pieces floating by everywhere, seals just looking at us helplessly as their homes were breaking down and melting into the water,” Stone wrote in her memoir.

Stone also recalled Patrick catching a big salmon while fishing, and a bear approaching up along the stream, as if to say, “Hey, what are you doing?” Stone said Patrick “was both thrilled and taken aback.” He threw the salmon back into the water but then caught another bigger fish a few days later on his birthday.

Stone, the mother of three adopted sons, said she and her brother had taken their children out of school for a few days to travel to Alaska.

“I felt that they would learn more in those three days, things that would stay with them forever, than they might learn if they had stayed in school,” Stone wrote. “I also felt that with the idea being tossed around that there is no global warming, I wanted them to see it for themselves so that they can make a valid argument on their own.”

Stone said Patrick shared this view that the trip would forever be meaningful to their children. “We all learned a lot without using a lot of words,” Stone wrote. “We knew they were now old enough to understand and reflect on what they saw.”
