Paul's Funeral Service Video Paul Draheim, age 75, of Hortonville, Wisconsin, passed on Friday, July 25, 2025 following a long battle with cancer. Paul was born in New London, on December 20, 1949, to the late Delbert and Bernice (Mills) Draheim. He was one of eight children. On June 26, 1971, he married Jeannie Menting, the love of his life, and together they had two children. Paul served his country in the United States Army and fought in the Vietnam War. Paul worked for the Toy Factory in Hortonville as a Forklift Operator and he helped out his wife at Hortonville Tax Service. He loved the outdoors and taking care of his animals. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, and watching westerns. He liked his peace and quiet and alone time, but he loved his time with family. His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy.
