Patrick Mullin

Patrick A. Mullin, age 75, of Manhattan, NYC, peacefully passed away on Saturday, July 5, 2025, after a long-fought battle with cancer. 

Patrick was born to Gerard and Frances Mullin and graduated from DePaul High School. Patrick went on to obtain his college and master’s degrees from William Paterson University. During his years at WPU, Patrick was active in politics and was the youngest member in his town to run for a Board of Education seat. 

Patrick later went on to pursue his law degree at New York Law School and spent a semester at Harvard University, where he studied international law. A fierce advocate, both inside and outside of the courtroom, Patrick represented the rights of countless people and ensured they received due process under the law. Additionally, of note, Patrick appeared before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1996 where he argued against the mandatory minimum sentencing laws. 

Beyond his love of the law, Patrick also was a black belt in Karate, an avid sports lover (Yankees, Nets, Giants) and enjoyed traveling the world with his wife, Tatiana. Patrick was a member of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City where he was a long-time parishioner. Patrick was also a loving and dedicated father to his only child, Ashley Mullin-Kucharski, who, like her father, pursued a career as a lawyer and ultimately as a jurist in New York City, which Patrick was beyond proud of. 

Patrick was pre-deceased by his parents as well as his sister, Gwen Mullin Veith. Patrick is survived by his wife, Tatiana Mullin (nee Petrov), his ex-wife, Donna Mullin, his daughter, Ashley Mullin-Kucharski (Jarrod Kucharski), his stepson, Stephan Emory (Jenny Emory), his step-grandchildren (Laurence and Kingston Emory), his siblings Timothy Mullin, Gerard Mullin, and Maureen Mullin, as well as his many nieces and nephews and friends who were like family.
