Paul Andrew Kokinda

Paul Andrew Kokinda, 55, of Naples, Florida, passed away peacefully on November 2, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

Paul was born on October 9, 1970, in Lexington, Kentucky, to Margaret Jayne Rice (Timothy Rice) and James Allen Kokinda (Lynn Brown). After graduating from Naples High School, he proudly built a long and successful career as a master cabinet maker with The Closet Company.

Known for his warm smile and easy laugh, Paul loved woodworking and spending time with his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and friend whose kindness touched everyone he met.

Paul is survived by his beloved wife of 28 years, Kristine, their children, Katherine Ann Carraway (Colton) and Lauren Marie Kokinda; two cherished grandchildren, Charlotte and David, who were his pride and joy; and his sisters Sarah, Stefanie, and Tiffany, along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

He is also survived by his devoted mother-in-law, Penelope Snow, who loved him as her own son, and his sister-in-law, Cindy Snow and brother-in-law Dana Snow.

A mass service will be held at St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church on November 21, 2025 at 1pm.

All are welcome to join the family for a celebration of his life at his parents' home after the service.

The family will gather for a burial at a later date in Winchester, KY.

"His laughter, kindness, and love will forever live in our hearts."
