Paul James O'Gorman

Reno - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paul James O'Gorman (Mr. O). Paul passed in Reno surrounded by his loving family and wife. Paul was born in Los Angeles and spent his childhood in California where he excelled in sports. Paul excelled in football and baseball, but he truly starred at diving, achieving California State and Western States Championships. After marrying his high school sweetheart, Marylin McClellan, they enjoyed sixty-three years of marriage, bringing six wonderful children into the world. Paul and his wife Marilyn were blessed by the six children and their spouses: Deborah, Cynthia Gonzales (David), Thomas (Joan), Jenifer Madole (Craig), Kristen Rivas (Antonio) and Timothy; with fifteen grandchildren: Frank, Mike, Paul (Renae), Katie Smith (Luke), Cassie Lepori (Charlie), Johnathan (Syd), Joey, Dominic, Anna, Amanda, Thomas Jr., Tonyo, Megan, Rylee, and Gracie; as well as the recent blessings of six great-grandchildren; Taylor, Lucy, Nixon, Lilyana, Quinn, and Lena, and an angel papa has yet to meet due in early 2020. Paul is survived by his amazing wife, Marilyn O'Gorman, all of their children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, Mr. O's family, as well as his elder sister, Suzette Yuill, brother-in-law Robert, nephew Scott (Tami) and great nephews; Brennan and Dustin Yuill. His nephew Mark preceded him in death. Paul was the greatest husband, brother, Papa, friend and Daddy any of us could have ever wanted.

Daddy you taught us all to love unconditionally, stand up for what we believe in, and always put family first. We will miss you so, so much! We know you will be watching over each and every one of us. Until we see you again, WE LOVE YOU BIG!

Please see the previous message from Linda Clift. The telephone number is incorrect. The correct number is 775-787-8999. I hope to hear from Marilyn or a family member by phone or e-mail - [email protected].
God hold you in his arms and bless you always.

I am so sorry to read of Paul's passing. I did not see his obituary until after his services. I would like to contact Marilyn but do not have her information.
I am sending my love and prayers to the whole family and am thinking of all of you. Paul was a wonderful man. Such a loss.
With love

It was my pleasure to meet Paul recently in a professional setting, but that didn't keep him from becoming near and dear to my heart! Paul was kind to everyone he met and always had a happy greeting and big Irish hug for anyone who crossed his path. My heart is broken but also lifted that I got to meet such a wonderful gentleman.
