Paul Michael Stanley

COACHED ME THE FIRST YEAR HE WAS IN CONWAY. WE HELPED HIM MOVE INTO HIS APARTMENT. SUPER GUY. HE WAS ALWAYS A GOOD FRIEND. R.I.P. BOYD GAINEY

Tiffany and Robbie my prayers for you during these times are for strength and guidance as you all move forward. As you both know, Paul meant so much to so many. He shared his life with all he met and has left his indelible mark on family and friends that will last forever til we meet him again.

Jan and family,

Curt and I want to thank you for sharing Paul with us over the years. He was influential in Curt's life as a high school football coach, mentor, and friend. Paul influenced the lives of so many people and we are grateful we knew him. When I saw him at MRLEC last year, he was happy, gracious, and so very kind. Our prayers are with you and all of your family.
Love in Christ,
Curt and Debbie Moore
