Allen J. Pauli

Allen Joseph Pauli, age 73 of Macomb, Michigan, passed away in the evening hours of November 8, 2025. He was born in Detroit, MI on November 20, 1951 to the late Raymond and Marie (Rinke) Pauli. He was the beloved husband of Jeannie M. (Arnold) Pauli for over 40 years, marrying on December 15, 1984.

After graduating from Pershing High School, Allen began his career as a mechanic in a local dealership before joining Ford Motor Company, where he spent more than 30 years in engineering. During his time with Ford, he earned several patents. Allen loved the outdoors. Rain or shine, you could usually find him in his garage working on something-most often his beloved '64 Ford Fairlane. He enjoyed snowmobiling and hunting with his brothers in Upper Michigan, as well as camping and traveling, especially to his condo in South Carolina.

He will be dearly missed by his wife Jeannie, three children Jessica (Richard) Clements, Valerie (Matthew Carithers) Pauli, and Suzanne Pauli, siblings Tom (Doris) Pauli, Joyce Colpaert, Carolyn Scruggs, Gene (Sue) Pauli, Barbara Metzger, Marlene Przybylski, Gary (Dee) Pauli and Leo (Janet) Pauli, siblings-in-law Amy (Tony) Gitre, Duane Arnold Jr., and Steven (Lori) Arnold, and father-in-law Duane Arnold Sr.

Besides his parents, Allen is preceded in death by his brothers-in-law Art Colpaert, Bill Scruggs, and Jim Przbylski
