Paul Rudolph Obituary
On October 13, 2015, Paul Bradley Rudolph of Scottsdale, Arizona, devoted father, beloved son, brother, successful attorney, friend, devout Christian, animal lover, law partner, and Green Bay Packer season ticket holder, was suddenly and unexpectedly called to the right hand of God and put on permanent retainer. Left in his wake and missing him are his cherished daughter, Grace Amira Rudolph, best buddy and son, Jack Edward Rudolph, mother and father, Jean and Edward P. Rudolph, Esq., brothers Adam Rudolph and Mark Rudolph (wife Catherine Gaudreau and nephew Alex Rudolph), sister Laura Rudolph Lorenzen (husband Richard Lorenzen), former wife Michele Webb and her extended Mattia family, along with his beloved staff and partners at the Law Firm of Rudolph and Hammond in Scottsdale, all of whom are saddened beyond words at this turn of events, but nonetheless wish him all the best in this new endeavor. Born in the heartland of Wisconsin on February 3, 1965, Paul was what happens when a proud first generation American and WWII Marine veteran turned attorney meets a small town Wisconsin girl on Bascom Hill at the University of Wisconsin/Madison. Paul returned the favor by graduating from law school with honors in 1991 on that same hill. Before turning to that calling, after earning his undergraduate degree at UT Austin, Paul served as one of the youngest DEA agents ever recruited straight from college, confirming his lifelong passion for law enforcement that he shared with his brother, Adam. Paul's admiration and respect for those who take up the heroic mantle of law enforcement are exemplified by the strong bonds he built over the years with countless men and women in uniform, especially in the state of Arizona. Paul was nothing if not memorable, and he will be sorely missed but always remembered by all of those whose lives he touched.

I went to elementary school with Paul and even then knew he was a boy destined to become a great man. It looks like he did fulfill my prediction. So sad to hear that he left us too early. My condolences to his family.

My name is Paul Williams from the House of Refuge in Sunnyslope, part of Phoenix. Paul became a supporter of us through SBC in 2011. He came here to "check us out", and liked what we were doing. Over the past 4 years, I had the pleasure of having lunch with Paul at the Capital Grille and also visited him at his home and office. Most memorable to me was my visit to his "secure" office because we talked about Grace, Jack, and Michele and I was privileged to pray with him. It was a very special day for me. I thank God that He allowed us to meet and be friends, and I know we will meet in Jesus' Presence.
I was at his service. It was very sweet and special.I didn't talk to anyone because I had never met any of you. but please accept my deepest condolences.

I'm so deeply sorry to hear of this. I not only worked with Paul with my cases. I also worked with Paul with purchases of some of his vehicles. He's always was kind and caring words will never be able to express the greatness of this wonderful man. My heart goes out to each of you! He will be dearly missed. He is the best!
