Paul Looper

Paul Looper was not only one of the most inspirational and uplifting individuals that I have ever met in my 28 years of life, but also one of the most honorable individuals I could ever have the delight of working under. I knew Paul during my time at the Burnt Mountain Center and his burning passion and love for all the participants of the center were right there each and every day in the workshop for all to see.

He was a man who truly wore his heart on his sleeve. It was an honor...

I knew Paul when he was a student at the Chapel and was such a polite and sweet child. One Christmas he gave me an ornament. For the last 30+ years, I have put it on my tree and remembered Paul. My deepest sympathy to Wanda and family.

I was Paul's second photo teacher at KSU and had such respect for him as an artist. We kept up regularly over all the years and just recently we talked about him coming to see that new studio. We had a long chat and it was just Paul as usual. I am really going to miss him but am comforted by his faith and the knowledge that he is at peace.

Paul was such an amazing and talented photographer he will truly be missed. We were both art majors at KSU. In 2008, I was planning my wedding and my main request was to have Paul be my wedding photographer! I will miss him dearly. Much love to and your family.

I worked with Paul at Burnt Mountain Center and to say he brightened our days and lives is an understatement. He fit in perfectly as part of the BMC family and brought laughter, leadership, comfort, friendship, hope and joy to us all. You will be missed my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. Paul was a great friend in college we took photography together at KSU he was always such a bright light always happy and always talking, and just all around a good person. I photographed his wedding in 1998 or 1999 and it was so beautiful that day. Im so sorry to hear he passed so young. My prayers are with you all.

Wanda you and the family know what is on my heart. You all mean so much to me, and all I can say is I love y’all and continue to pray.

Paul was a nice person

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
