Paul Robert Sorensen

I just learned of Paul's passing. Please accept my late but sincere condolences. I was fortunate to spend time with Paul during his later recovery. Seeing Marianne and Paul while walking together around Green Lake was the last time I saw him. I will never forget the warm hug he gave me.
Rest In Peace Paul.

I was looking back at the times when Paul and I were running pretty intensely and training for marathons between 2010 and 2014 or so. We ended up running 3 Marathons and training over 2000 miles. It was during those miles and hours spent together that we cemented our strong friendship and shared our thoughts , aspirations, and love for our families.

Meeting Paul during our kids grade school years I quickly learned when he was curious about something, he brought on the questions. I was running at the time training for half and full marathons. Paul wanted to know all about my experience with training, distance runs, races, recovery...anything about running! Not long after, there's Paul running and in no time he's out paced my time, distance and performance. I remember being so impressed how he embraced the sport, and thrived! If it was possible, I can't imagine what he'd be running now! My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Paul's family. Sending peace, comfort and prayers. Vicky Stamolis

So many good memories of Paul. If there is an afterlife, I hope he is doing what he was doing the last time I saw him before the accident. He had just finished a run and was sitting in the backyard tossing a ball for his beloved Zoe. We will miss his gentle and kind spirit and the incredible strength he showed us all. Even when he couldn´t find the words he expressed so much love.
Love to you all.

So glad we got to spend some time together with Paul in recent years. Thank you Marianne for sharing him with us and leaving Mike & I with such great memories. Remembering how he loved the homemade cookies. You taught us the true meaning of love in oh so many different ways. Our condolences to you, Matthew, Alena and her husband, Samuel and Paul´s sister, Anne.

Paul was always an inspiration as he ran and biked his way through the neighborhoods. But he elevated that motivational example even after his accident when the full force of his love and kindness radiated from him everywhere he went. We will miss him and we send all of our best wishes, affection, appreciation, and love to his family who we are grateful to know, almost as extended family in the PNW. Sympathies and love to you all. Mindy, Max, Olivia, and Justine

As time passes, may you continue to feel surrounded by the love and support of family and friends. I am so very sorry for you loss. Sending love thoughts. - Joan Radoll
