Paul Moore Bellinger

Paul Moore Bellinger, 69, entered into rest on Friday, April 25, 2025.

Paul was born on June 3, 1955, in Columbia, South Carolina. A natural people-person, Paul had a gift for connecting with others. Always ready to lend a hand, he was someone you could truly depend on, earning the love and trust of all who knew him.

Deeply devoted to his family, Paul treasured every moment spent making memories together. His warm spirit and playful sense of humor—he was known as quite the jokester—brought laughter and joy wherever he went.

Much like a real-life MacGyver, Paul had an innate curiosity for how things worked and loved tinkering with gadgets, always eager to take something apart just to see if he could put it back together better. In his earlier years, he enjoyed racing and motorcycles, and later in life, he found great joy in setting out on relaxing cruises, embracing the simple pleasure of a journey well taken.

Paul's legacy of kindness, humor, and heartfelt connection will live on in the hearts of all who loved him.

Paul was preceded in death by his father, Joseph F. Bellinger.

His memory will forever be treasured by his wife of 14 years, Kay Bellinger; children, Brian Bellinger (Mandi) and Ben Bellinger (Lisa); grandchildren, Emily Bellinger, Anna Bellinger, Ali Bellinger, and Phoebe Bellinger; step-grandchildren, Caitlyn McClarty and Stephen McClarty; mother, Lois Haltiwanger Harter (Dave); siblings, Joseph Bellinger, Jr., Karen Marks (Richard), Maureen Trayner (Doug), Leslie Hoff, and Jeanne Hayes (Buddy); stepsiblings, Jeff Harter (Sheri), Sheri Futrell (Rich), and Jenny Eskridge (Tom); along with many nieces, nephews, and other loving family members and friends.
