Jeffrey Paulus Obituary
Jul 31, 1970 - Nov 5, 2025
Jeffrey Elwin Paulus, 55, of Spokane Valley, WA, passed away on November 5, 2025, due to pneumonia and underlying liver disease. Born on July 31, 1970, Jeff spent his early education at Freeman schools, before graduating from University High in 1988. He furthered his education at UTI and SCC. Jeff dedicated many years to Alpine Patio Concepts, where his commitment, talent, and work ethic were well respected and valued.
Outside of work, Jeff had a passion for classic cars and drag racing, as a crew member, sharing many joyful moments with friends and family at racing events. Above all, his greatest joy was spending time with his beloved grandchildren.
Jeff is survived by his loving wife, Leanna Paulus; daughters, Taylor Young (Ethan) and Emilee Paulus (fiancé, Justin Martinez); mother, Marilyn Fleenor; brother, James Paulus (Debra); grandchildren, Kennedee, Rownan, and Corbyn Brewer, and Aubrey Young; numerous extended family, and his dog, Tucker. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert Paulus; sister, Michelle Ford; and his grandparents.
Jeff's legacy lives on through the memories he created and the lives he touched. He will be sorely missed. A memorial will be determined at a later date.
