Paul Anderkin Obituary

Published by Legacy on Mar. 20, 2025.
Paul S. Anderkin passed away on March 16, 2025, at age 61. Paul was born to John and Irma Anderkin on February 13, 1964, in Germany on an American military base where his family was stationed at the time. After moving to many different locations throughout the world, Paul and his family came back to the Sheboygan area. After graduating from Sheboygan Falls High School, Paul went on to raise four boys. He was a "jack-of-all-trades" and was able to fix or build anything he put his mind to. He found work in many areas, but Paul especially enjoyed his work as an industrial painter, sometimes finding himself in precarious positions, hanging from high-up spots. In his spare time, he loved fishing, riding motorcycles, and working on classic cars. He married Susan in 2003 and they spent many good years fishing, camping, and being each other's partner-in-crime until she passed in 2024.
Paul was the beloved husband of the late Susan; loving father of Damian (Ashley), Nicholas, Paul, and Brandon (Aradia) Anderkin; proud grandfather of ­­­­­­­­­­­many grandchildren; dear son of John (Cathy) Anderkin; and brother of Dallas (Montezza) Anderkin and Sarah (Mike) Abhold. He is also survived by nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
Paul was preceded in death by his wife Susan, sister Tammy Gomez, and mother Irma Shirk.
Cremation has taken place at Harrigan Parkside Crematory Chapel and private services were held. Expressions of sympathy may be sent to the family by visiting www.harriganparksidefuneralhome.com.
