"Patrick James Buley, a musician, audio electronics business owner and
lifelong resident of Ventura County, died unexpectedly on April 21, 2019,
at the age of 68."
"Pat was born in Santa Maria, CA on March 14, 1951 to Allen Buley and
Marian Pedrotta. In 1964, he and his brother were introduced to the
Beatles, and, encouraged by their oldest brother Dennis, they learned to
play instruments and began playing gigs at a very young age. The Buley
Brothers and their various band incarnations, were popular mainstays of the
Ventura County music scene (and beyond) for decades. Tim Buley continues to
carry on the tradition as a fulltime working musician.
Pat attended Music and Electronic classes at Ventura College in the early
‘70s, and was a radio/TV/audio apprentice & technician at Bill’s TV on
Ventura Avenue for years. In 1989, he opened the doors to his
audio/electronics shop Buley Electronics, first in Santa Paula at McCabe’s
Music, then in Ventura. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family,
fellow musicians, and all who knew him.
He was a humanitarian, compassionate and deeply interested in the
protection of the Earth and all who dwell here. A Celebration of Life will
be announced at a future date. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a
charity of your choice in Pat's name."
