Paul Wendling Obituary
March 1, 1970 ~ September 19, 2012
Born and raised in Seattle, Paul graduated from Shoreline Christian School and attended Seattle Pacific University and the University of Washington. He was employed as Vice President and Marketing Manager at Vee Gee Scientific, Inc.
Paul enjoyed spending time with family and friends and sharing his love of music, sports, movies, and books (particularly Stephen King novels).
He is survived by his parents, Ron and Aljene Wendling of Seattle; sister, brother-in-law, and niece, Pam, Grant and Renee Knepper of Hillsboro, OR; and grandmother, Wilma Hauer of Aurora, IL.
Son, brother, uncle, grandson, friend-Paul was all of these things and more to many people. He lived life to its fullest and provided a gentleness and love to all who knew him. We are so blessed to have had Paul in our lives.
A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday, October 6 at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 4805 NE 45th St., Seattle, WA 98105.
Memorials may be made in Paul's name to: St. Stephen's Episcopal Church or The Seattle Humane Society.

Our family misses Paul Wendling. We knew him even as a very young child playing with our daughter Jolene (now deceased 2023). The kids all had lots of fun playing with each other - fun day for us parent and times now passed by so many years ago. Our prayers and love are with the Wendling family and hope they are doing well today. - Much love from Jim, JoAnn & Garett Nakamoto

Our family will always remember Paul as a fun loving person. Our children grew up with him and Pam from the time they were very small and the kids got along so well. Paul is missed by the Nakamoto family. Our prayers go to the Wendlings during these difficult times.

Ron, I am very sad to hear about your loss. You and your son played in the Hilly Dilly with my dad and I in 1998....the last year before my dad passed. I still remember the amazing par you and he made on # 4 in the 2 man scramble. It was windy and raining, and you hit a great pitch, and your son made a long putt for the par....! May he rest in peace.

Love from your friends,
