Paul Budrawich Obituary
He and his loving wife, Jennifer, attended Acts III Church in Rincon.
He is survived by his mother, Mary Jane Budrawich of Springfield; one brother, Steve Budrawich of Macon; five sisters; Lisa Budrawich of California, Veronica Oneal of Macon, Karen Austin of Warner Robins, Julie and husband Dennis Woods of Guyton and Debbie and husband Dave of Rincon; three sons, Lil Paul, Carson and stepson, Alex.
He loved his boys equally. He was a wonderful father, devoted husband, caring brother and loving son.
He has many cousins, aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces. One uncle, Willie Hammond, was like a dad to him. He had such a big heart and was loved by all. You could see his love for Jennifer and his sons in everything he did for them. They were his life and his reason for living. He died showing just how strong his love and devotion was to her and their precious babies. At that moment, God's wings were encamped around them both and carried them to heaven.
The family is accepting donations for the funeral and for their children.
Visitation will be Sunday, Dec. 27 from 6-8 p.m. at Riggs Funeral Home. Funeral services will be Monday, Dec. 28, at 1 p.m. in the Ben Wages Chapel of Riggs Funeral Home. Interment will be in Lower Black Creek Cemetery.

I always called you my broder and you always called me dimples or sis, depending on how bad you wanted to aggravate me.I sure miss that.I never thought in a million years that something like this would ever happen to anyone I knew much less my own brother and Sister in law.I wanted you to know that i never gave up hope on you and jennifer .when things got rough I prayed harder for you.I tried to help you two every way I could . I wish I could've taken your place just so you could be with your children because You never gave up hope.My heart feels like there's a big hole in it without you here.I try so hard to be the strong level headed person in the bunch but sometimes I just can't stop the tears.I know God doesn't give us more than we can bear but it's so hard!Lately I find myself thinking about things we did when we were kids. You were always around to keep me company.I love you with every beat of my heart.Thank you for being my Little Brother!I am so glad that God never gave up on you or you on him because now you see all the glory that Heaven has to offer. No more pain, no more sadness .You got a brand new body!. You even have your own mansion. No more money problems.Not to mention those beautful streets of gold!Someday I will see you again and when I do I'm going to give both of you a great big hug....Until then don't fret because you that your sis will take care of everything because you always knew that I had your back because that's what a big sister does for her Lil brother.You are one in a million! I was truly honored to be your Big Sis!I love you Paul, and miss you even more. Don't worry about Mom because I will always be right by her side and I will make sure she stays in church . Tell Jennifer I love her and you take good care of her.....

Paul, You and Jennifer will always be with us through your precious little boys. Little Paul looks and acts more like you every day! But Carson and Paul both have their mommy's beautiful blue eyes.
I hope you both knew that we will always take care of and love your boys just like our own.They will grow up knowing your family and where they come from. I can promise you they will always know how very very much they were loved by their mommy and daddy.
I keep expecting the phone to ring and it be you and Jen calling to check on the boys. I miss those phone calls and you always joking around with me and yes I even miss you picking on me with the blond jokes!
Every time either you or Jen called yall would always end every conversation with "Give my boys a big hug and kiss for me" Well I do every morning when they wake up and every night before they go to sleep.
I am so glad we got to know each other and that I got to be closer with you and Jen both since the boys came to stay with us.You will both be missed dearly each and every day. I know yall are watching over the boys now (and laughing at me every time they play with one of the loud toys yall always brought to them)but the last e mail I got from you was telling me Thank you for helping out with the boys and that you were glad they were with us until they could be back with you and Jen.Well nothing has changed that. I promise you that I will make sure they have a great life and grow up happy and after they have had a long full life the day will come when they will get to be with their mom and dad again. We love and miss you and I will give your boys a big hug and kiss from his daddy.

I miss you so much Paul. This is hitting me harder than I ever imagined it would. I guess because from our dad's side you were the one I was closest to and I wish I could talk to you again, or that we could have had more time - it all seems so short but I am so grateful I got to know you. Thanks for being you and really pushing to keep in touch and talk to me all those times.... I'm not a phone person but I'm grateful that even when I told you that you still kept calling me... I needed that and that is what I will always love that about you! :o) I will always love you and will see you again someday when I get to meet you and our dad in heaven.

I love you so much and miss you twice as much.Jennifer was good to you and made you happy and it tickled me when she called me uncle Willie.I will forever mourn you both because being in the trailer without ya'll seems so lonely, for me as well as Mary. Please look down on us and smile because we will know when you do. In the meantime tell Mamma and Your Dad I love them and I still miss them. .....I promise to take care of your Mom so dont worry about anything.Love ya both!Uncle Willie

Paul, you and Jennifer will be missed so very much!
I have to echo what Miss Dot said..not only will you meet our Heavenly Father, but you finally get to meet your Dad!! How proud he will be to wrap his arms around you and Jennifer and announce, This is my son, Paul and his beautiful wife, Jennifer!! His face will be beaming with paternal pride only a father can feel for his son!!
I never told you, because our family is so very bad at this, but I love you Paul! I have so many fond memories of you and Billy being your goofy little boy selves! Because of you, my brother knew what it meant to have a brother!! Thank you!!! And, because of losing you, everyone in our family took the opportunity at your memorial to tell each other "I LOVE YOU!" We owe you that debt of gratitude!
Rest in peace, Paul and Jennifer! You are both loved and missed so much!!

A Man Who Loved His Family
"Our Dad was one of those special men
Who truly knew what life was about
Who demonstrated that his family came first
For his actions left no room for doubt
Our Father's greatest joy was his children
In fact, there was no faster way
To light up his face with an ear-to-ear smile
Than the mention of his own children's names
He preferred to discuss his children's accomplishments
Rather than his own
And loved to recall the sweet memories
Of his young children and how they had grown..."
So as we say goodbye and remember
Our Father's life...the man he came to be
He'd be happiest being remembered by all who knew him
As a man who loved his family "

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
I MISS AND WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU PAUL!!! :( U AND JEN WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY THOUGHTS!!! WE WILL BE 2GETHER SOON. TILL THEN I GOT 2 KEEP THIS FAMILY UNDER CONTROL. LOL.. U GOTTA HELP ME AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE U KNOW OUR FAMILY!!! WELL UR ALWAYS HERE WITH US!

Paul you are my baby boy. I miss you so much.Its not the same. The house is so quiet and lonely without you and jennifer there. I keep looking at your game and think about when you used to play it and think about when I am on the phone with Debbie hearing Jennifer talk to the kids.I am so glad that I moved in with you two because all of us got so much closer.Jennifer was my daughter and I loved her equally like I did julie and Debbie. I had a special bond with you though because you were my son.I cant wait to see you two again in heaven.Please say hello to your Gramma and your Dad for me....I still miss them too. Love you Paul!

Paul i don't even know where to start cuz. You are greatly missed already. You were definately one of a kind. I still can't believe that you were taken from us so soon. It's just not fair. You never harmed anyone,and most of all you loved your boys more than you loved your self. To fight as hard as you guys faught for them took alot of courage and energy. No matter how hard it got you did not give up. Cuz you will never be forgotten and we will think about you every day.
