Sir Patrick Stewart led an admirable career that spanned from his late teens until near the end of his life. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2019 for his services to drama.

Patrick’s acting roles were wide and varied in range from his association with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek, Professor Charles Xavier in the X-Men films, Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, and many other characters over the years.

He narrated audiobooks for The Chronicles of Narnia, and I must go find those now.

During the Covid-19 lockdown of 2020, he entertained countless people across the world reading Shakespeare sonnets publicly. I well remember the soothing, charming tone of his voice. During that same time, he rounded out his career achievements by becoming an author when he wrote his autobiography, Making It So: A Memoir. It was published in 2023.

To quote him as Professor X, we should all remember that, “Just because someone stumbles and loses their way doesn’t mean they’re lost forever.”

We will miss you, Sir Patrick. May you find your way.
