Patterson and his partner, Danny Tuggle, a 25-year veteran game warden, were attempting to recover the body of a 16-year-old suspected drowning victim at the time of the accident.
Patterson was a graduate of the 51st Texas Game Warden Academy in 2005 and had been stationed in Johnson County.
"Ty died doing what he loved. He died serving a Texas family dealing with its own tragic loss," said Col. Pete Flores, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Law Enforcement Division director. "We are going to miss this courageous young game warden, and our hearts and prayers go out to his parents and loved ones."
Tuggle suffered near-drowning injuries and was airlifted to Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth.
TPWD law enforcement officials are investigating.
Patterson was the second Texas game warden killed in the line of duty in less than three months. Game warden Justin Hurst was shot and killed on March 17 during an exchange of gunfire between law enforcement officers and a suspected poacher.
