Paul CRAVEN Obituary

Age 60, of St. Paul, MN Passed away on June 5, 2023 He was a loving, caring and hardworking individual who brought laughter and joy to everyone around him. Paul was a great father, always willing to lend a helping hand to his surviving children, Christina (Eric) and Daniel (Heather), and loved spending time with his dog, Emmy who preceded him. Though he went through life's trials and tribulations, he never lost his sense of humor. His laughter was infectious, and his spirit was unbreakable. Paul was born on September 16, 1962, in Palm Beach County, Florida, to his parents, the late Paul Terrence Craven and his mother, Patricia Wheeler (John), who survives him. He was one of six siblings and is survived by his brother, Ken, and sisters, Kathy (John), Barb (Jimmy), Denys (Jason), and Michelle (Chad). He was a loving grandfather to his sons' children, Keagan Jacob, Theodore Henry, Isabella Jo and MacKenzie. In his moments of repose, Paul found solace in the simple pleasures of life. He loved nothing more than casting his line into a still lake or river, watching hockey, listening to music that stirred his soul, and strolling around with his loyal dog. He was a friend to many, but his best friend was Tim, who mourns the loss of his dear friend. A ceremony to celebrate Paul's life will be held on Monday, June 26, 2023, at 1 pm, at the Household of Faith Church located at 1090 Chicago Ave. in St. Paul Park, MN 55071. Paul will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his memory will live on forever in the hearts of those he touched. Since his passing, we know Paul has been reunited with his dog who led him on his final walk into the afterlife.

I called my brother Eddie. He had an infectious laugh that got people's attention. He had a way of saying my name that made me feel that it was special just for me. Rest in peace.

Eddie was one of my brother's best friends growing up. I remember how he would make laugh by the way he said hi. Always made me laugh. Even though I haven't seen you for a while, I will always remember you Eddie! Rest in peace.
