Paul grew up in Fort Worth, TX. He graduated from O.D. Wyatt High School in 1975. Despite his disability, Paul was full of life and love. In his younger years Paul loved going to concerts, music, amusement parks, where he always got to cut in line, his Hot Wheel Cars & his ’68 Camaro which has now been lovingly restored by his brother Timmy Ray. He loved his family, friends and dogs with a passion. He loved to laugh. He was always smiling, and willing to help anyone who needed it despite his own setbacks. Paul never met a stranger. He was always the life of any gathering; A twinkle in his eye and hugs for everyone.

Paul loved the LORD and is now home in his loving arms. He is at peace.
