Family Tribute ~
Paul was a loving father, devoted friend, cherished brother and a man who brought joy to everyone who knew him. He had a quick wit, a generous heart, and a way of making people laugh even on the hardest days.
He loved sports, especially cheering on the Detroit Lions, and could often be found enjoying his favorite game shows. The Fourth of July was his favorite holiday, a time he looked forward to every year - celebrating life, family, and the moments that mattered most.
Throughout his life, Paul valued faith, family, and the relationships he built with others. He believed deeply in treating people with kindness and always reminded those around him of what truly matters.
He left this world far too soon, but his laughter, love, and the memories he created will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew him.
Paul's legacy of love, faith, and joy will never be forgotten.
Family and friends are invited to join us in celebrating Paul's life on March 21.
The service will be held at 1:00 PM at Restoration Pointe Church of God, located at 11501 Allen Rd, Southgate, Michigan 48195.
A reception with food and fellowship will follow the service as we gather to remember and honor Paul's life together.
