Paul Edward Dyche
November 30, 1973 – January 27, 2025
Paul Edward Dyche, born in Dugway, Utah, on November 30, 1973, to Terri Fitches and Paul Dyche, passed away peacefully in his home on January 27, 2025.
Paul's life was filled with adventure, humor, and a deep love for those around him. Growing up, he lived in many places, including Utah, Germany, Arkansas, South Dakota, and South Carolina. He cherished summers spent in New Jersey visiting his father, brothers, and sister, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
Later, he met and married the love of his life, Kimberly Kaye Bradley, and together they created a family that held immense significance to him. Paul adored his children and was incredibly proud of each of them, always bringing laughter and frustration to their lives with his signature humor. Rachelle, his oldest daughter, was a pillar of support-her dedication, hard work, and resilience made her the unifying force within the family. He saw himself in her, having passed down his signature sense of humor, one that could lighten any mood and bring laughter even in tough times. His daughter, Melanie, made him endlessly proud as a mother, and he loved watching her raise her family. His love for his grandchildren was immeasurable, and they brought him tremendous joy. His son, Christian, has a drive and determination that Paul deeply respected, but it was his kind heart that made him truly special in his father's eyes. And his youngest, Kenadie-Paul loved her with every fiber of his being. She was his baby, his light, and he cherished every moment with her.
Paul had a special bond with his siblings-mostly built on relentless teasing and good-natured ribbing. Whether it was roasting each other, swapping ridiculous stories, or just keeping each other on their toes, he found strength and joy in the constant banter. He and his brother had a lifetime of shared chaos and trauma, from childhood troublemaking to the so-called responsibilities of adulthood, never missing a chance to remind each other of past embarrassments.
Paul harbored nothing but love and admiration for his sister, Shanna. He saw her as one of the strongest, most caring people in his life, and he never hesitated to remind her how much she meant to him. Their bond was built on love, laughter, and a deep understanding of each other's histories.
Paul had a natural gift for connecting with people and was a master of sales before pursuing higher education. He earned his Master of Business Administration from Western Governors University in June 2013 and went on to work as a Logistics Manager for several warehouses, with his favorite position being at Granny B's.
Paul had a variety of passions throughout his life. He once immersed himself in the world of EverQuest, and he and his younger brother Zac would play for days on end, getting lost in the adventure together, known in-game as the "Barian Brothers". Shifting his focus to music, where he played guitar in a band. His love for music was unwavering, and he enjoyed it best with a Mountain Dew in one hand and pink Starbursts in the other. He enjoyed listening to all kinds of songs while writing his own thoughts, stories, and reflections. He found solace in putting words to paper, whether it was for humor, personal reflection, or pure creativity.
Paul had a rare gift for making connections wherever he went, effortlessly turning strangers into friends with his warmth, humor, and interest in others-many of these friendships lasting a lifetime.
Above all, Paul was the ultimate jokester, always bringing laughter, even on the toughest days. His contagious laugh and sense of humor will be forever missed.
Paul is survived by his children, Rachelle Murdock (Jeremiah), Melanie Beagley, Christian Dyche, and Kenadie Dyche; his mother, Terri Vincenzetti, step mother Eileen Dyche; and his siblings, Shanna Carpentier (Tim), Zac Pau'u, Denise Black, Brian Dyche, and Brandon Dyche (Nicole). He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.
He was preceded in death by his father, Paul Dyche; his beloved wife, Kimberly Dyche; his stepfather, Frank Vincenzetti; and his grandson, Christopher Beagley.
