Paul Sloan Obituary - Death Notice and Service Information

Always There For You
Big, sweet, enthusiastic, driven — those are just a few of the words his family and friends use to describe Paul K. Sloan, 26, who worked for Keefe Bruyette & Woods.

Growing up in Novato, Calif., he was an ardent follower of the San Francisco Giants and played offensive lineman for the Brown University football team. Mr. Sloan was adamant about his belief that the Beatles produced the best music ever, and worked hard to convert a lot of his friends to that way of thinking.

He was a dedicated collector of articles and e-mails that he would forward to people that he thought might be interested, said his sister, Sarah Funk. Once he forced himself to buy a copy of People magazine, even though Julia Roberts, whom he disliked, was on the cover, because there was an article inside about his brother.

"He wasn't the most recognized on the field, but he took his athletic career the farthest," his friend Andrew Pridgeon wrote not long after Sept. 11 in an op-ed piece published in the Marin Independent Journal. "He wasn't the funniest, but he made you laugh the hardest. He never had the most time, but he was always the one who was there."

Paul was my freshman roommate at Brown University. He was one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. Being baseball fans, and with my being born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA, we’d playfully go back and forth about how Barry Bonds (a poster on Paul’s freshman room wall) would always be a Pirate to me, and never a Giant. He was a lover of history, sports, economics, and music — especially the Beatles. Everything I know about the Beatles now comes from him. I miss our many late night...

I only knew Paul for a short time in high school. However in that time he left a lasting mark on my life. See I was what you would call the class clown, not really motivated. I guess you would say the exact opposite of Paul. however when I looked at Paul and how he handled himself and his interactions with the people around him I couldn't help but feel envious. I often wished that I could get my stuff together and be a little more like him.
Even as an adult I would catch myself...

Wish we could have seen the amazing Man you would have become. You were Amazing the short time you had on this Earth. Think you would have made the World a better place. Thanks for 'touching our Lives' in just a few short years (with such an impact). Love you.... miss you.... will forever be in my heart.

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May they rest in peace.

Amen.
