PAUL CAFFAREL Obituary

Paul Leo Caffarel Paul was born on August 28, 1965 in California, and died on August 3, 2014 in a traffic accident. Paul graduated from Franklin Pierce High School and lived his entire life in Washington. He worked in carpentry and construction and enjoyed helping his family and friends with a variety of projects. Paul was a "can do" guy, who tackled his projects with a big smile and a healthy dose of enthusiasm. He had many hobbies and enjoyed living life to the fullest. His wry sense of humor was a central part of his character. He was a Christian, who saw opportunity for good in each challenge that he encountered. Paul was a loyal friend, a loving son and brother, and a father to three beautiful daughters: Alexandra (Jeremiah) Gordon, Mari Caffarel, and Tara Caffarel. He was a fantastic grandfather to Lila Gordon. He will be greatly missed by all. He is survived by his children, his brother Dave, his sister Veronica (Shawn) Gilbert, and his parents, Terry and Judy Caffarel. A memorial service will be held on Friday, August 8, 2014, at 2:00pm at St. Leo Catholic Church at 13th and Yakima Ave. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to your favorite charity or to Judith Caffarel for his children's education.
