Paul was born March 10, 1956, in Mount Pleasant, the son of Dan and Phyllis (Abbott) Wernette, of Weidman. He graduated from Chippewa Hills High School and dedicated his life to being a devoted father, adored grandfather, successful business owner and beloved friend to many. In his spare time, Paul enjoyed restoring classic cars, parting the wind of the open road on his Harley and winding down a long day at "the office" with friends.
Paul is survived by his father, Dan Wernette, of Weidman; brother, Jeff (Rita) Wernette, of Weidman; sons, Shaun (Autumn) Wernette, of Belmont, and Corey Wernette, of Weidman. Paul was a proud grandfather to his five beautiful grandchildren, Zachary, Mira, Eliza, Lennon and Jonah Wernette. Paul was preceded in death by his mother, Phyllis Wernette; and three sisters, Connie Wernette, Julie Roche and Margaret "Peggy Sue" Edwards.
