PAUL DANIEL HOOBLER

11/1/1963 - 3/24/2011

Einan's Funeral Home

We'll never understand or even begin to know why ... but we'll keep you close, always. It won't even seem you've gone. Our hearts, in big and small ways, will keep the love that keeps us strong.

Paul Daniel Hoobler departed this life in the early morning hours of March 24. We hope that he has found peace in the path that he has chosen. Born in San Diego California, Paul spent his childhood playing baseball, surfing at Mission Beach, and jumping dunes in Ensenada, Mexico among a myriad of adventures. He will be sadly missed by friends and family, from coast to coast and around the world. He is survived by his son, Jack Hoobler; parents, Jack and Gail Hoobler; grandmother, Mickey Hoobler, all of Richland, WA; and sister, Marcie Lewis of Reading, PA.

If there was anything in this life that he was most certainly proud of, it was his son. His mission in life was to make sure he shared in the experiences of his life with his son Jack, not merely attending them. Camping, fishing, boating, off-roading, VW building, working at the Ranch, and then more fishing. Into that great wide open they went. Paul had a big heart but empty pockets, yet still strived to make sure Jack could have a chance to try new things...and to learn a thing or two in the process.

He was a generous spirit and quick with a joke or a jab. Although not a carpenter by trade, he was proud of the house on Roberdeau the house that he would often say 'me and my dad rebuilt.' Paul was an avid fisherman, winning accolades and awards throughout his lifetime. He could catch a 20 pounder with a piece of twine and an empty hook. And he could not only catch 'em, he could cook 'em.

...Fish On!
