Not sure what to say?

Paul continues to make appearances in our living room, as my wife and I see something that reminds us of him. Though we did not know him well, we will never forget his kindness to our son in his tennis endeavors. We will speak of you, Paul, to the end of our days.

Hi Paul,Angel and all of the Nahon family,just wanted to let you know we have been thinking of you a lot during this holiday season.Just wishing you comfort and as much peace and joy as you can possibly have and find,throughout this holiday season without your wonderful son Paul with you!!!!You really are in our thoughts and prayers!!!Love you all ,the Lueckes!!!

Paul was a beacon of dedication, energy, and intelligence. My daughter Elizabeth (Saltzman) and I want to you to know we are still thinking about you during the holiday season. May his memory be a blessing to you and your family. HIs presence will be missed. (Elizabeth had just seen him in a Yoga class while she was home a week before he died.) Sending love your way.

Paul was a fantastic young man and a terrific friend to me for the entirety of my time that we played Missouri Valley. Although I often hated playing him, it was always a privilege to spend time with him off the court. He could always make me smile. My prayers go out to the Nahon family. Paul will never be forgotten.

Mom, Carolyn Woodworth, and I just heard of this the other day from Buddy. Angel and Marcia, as well as the rest of your family you are in our thoughts and prayers. As losing a sister and mom losing a child as well, she knows there is no greater loss. He sounds like an amazing person, which is such a reflection on his family. We love you and words cannot describe how sorry we are for your loss.

Paul was an extraordinary young man. He possessed all the best - athletic, smart, good looks. I had the privilege of putting him on the tennis court many times in tournaments. A finer competitor and good sportsman I've never known. My thoughts and prayers are with you Nahons. He will forever be remembered by all of us.

Our heartfelt sympathy and prayers for your entire family are extended. Paul was a wonderful friend to our son Jake. He will be greatly missed. We are so sorry for your loss.

We just heard of Paul's tragic accident today from the Norman family in Wichita when we were discussing our upcoming trip to Colorado to hike Mt. Bierstadt (a different, but easier 14'er). Our son Corbin used to compete with Paul in tennis back when they were in the 12's at the USTA National level before Corbin switched to golf. My memories of Paul are that he was such a great kid and had outstanding competitiveness, manners, kindness and maturity at a very young age. He accomplished soooo...

Paul was an incredible young man who gave passion, talent and quality to all that he did. He will be missed by a nationwide community who loved and admired him dearly.
