Patrick Richard Daley (born June 10, 1975) is the only surviving son of former Mayor of Chicago Richard M. Daley. Daley was involved in two of his father's most emotional press conferences. Daley profited from concealed roles in city contracts. His city contracting was investigated by the city Office of the Inspector General and federal authorities. Daley and his father are partners in an investment firm.
Patrick Daley is the son of Richard M. Daley and Margaret "Maggie" Corbett Daley. He attended Mount Carmel High School in Chicago. At age 18, Daley enrolled as a cadet in the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, having been nominated to the academy by U.S. Representative Bill Lipinski. He left West Point during his first year. In 2004 he received an MBA from the University of Chicago. Later that year, the 29-year-old Daley decided to enlist in the Army's regular airborne infantry rather than enter service through officer's training.
On the weekend of March 1–2, 1992, Mayor Daley and wife Maggie attended a family party in New York, and 16-year-old Patrick was to stay with relatives. Patrick told the relatives he was staying with friends and drove his father's new sports utility vehicle to the Daley second home in Grand Beach, Michigan and threw a party Saturday night. Patrick fetched former Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley's 20-gauge double-barrel shotgun from the Daley home and handed it to his cousin, R. J. Vanecko, 17. Vanecko aimed the shotgun at teenagers, pulled the trigger twice and yelled that he was not afraid to use the weapon. A youth threw a concrete goose lawn ornament through the windshield of Mayor Daley's truck, and Patrick punched him. A youth was seriously injured when struck in the head with a baseball bat wielded by a juvenile, was hospitalized in critical condition, underwent surgery to remove a blood clot on his brain and spent three days in intensive care.
