Paul C Cefai

Paul slipped away in the early hours of Tuesday, April 29, 2025. He was sitting outside, where he loved to be, enjoying the quiet and the trees.
Born and raised in Pontiac and Orchard Lake, Michigan, after a year of college, Paul went into construction. He worked as a skilled carpenter most of his life, the first part of it with his brother, Mike, at Cefai Construction. He migrated to Texas around 2015 to help take care of his Mom in her later years.
Paul was a free spirit, a lone wolf, determined to live life his way. He loved music – from Bob Seger to Janis Joplin to the Judds - and dogs of all kinds. Bike rider, voracious reader, hot sauce lover, slalom skier extraordinaire. Big heart, kind soul, slow to anger. And he would give his last dime to help you, if he had it.
Deeply missed and gone way too soon.
Paul is predeceased by his parents, Anthony and Colette, and survived by his six brothers, Mike, Robert, David, Tim, Tom and John; two sisters, Susan and Christine; nieces, Shelly, Becca, Rachel and Nikki; nephews, Adam, Justin and Will; great-nieces, Alexa, Alea, Kate and Emma; and great-nephews, A.J., Nino, Aiden, Lucas, Levi and Owen.
A memorial will be scheduled at a future date. In lieu of flowers, Paul would love any donation to the ASPCA.
