Background: Special Warfare Operator Petty Officer 1st Class Patrick D. Feeks, 28, of Edgewater, Maryland, assigned to a Naval Special Warfare unit based on the West Coast, died Aug. 16, 2012, in a helicopter crash northeast of Kandahar, Afghanistan, while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. Feeks is survived by his mother and father, Thomas and Ginny Feeks; sister, Regina Feeks; and wife, Emily Feeks.
In 2022, after competitive athlete and coach Travis Mead completed his 365 straight days of Hero WODs, in an interview, he stated that “Feeks” was the “worst” (most painful) hero WOD he did over the course of the year. So, of course it sounds perfect for IPC.
