Paul Ketterling, born May 17, 1955, passed away on August 5, 2024. Paul was a devoted car and motorcycle enthusiast who also enjoyed working on lawnmowers. His hands were often busy, and he took great satisfaction in fixing and maintaining the machines he loved. 

Paul was known for his warm personality and witty sense of humor. He valued his friendships deeply and had a strong faith in the Lord. His generosity extended to his support of the Wounded Warrior Project, and he was a proud member of the National Rifle Association. 

Paul’s loyal dog, Daisy, was his constant companion, sharing in his adventures and travels. A free spirit at heart, Paul embraced the joy of exploration and spontaneity. 

He is survived by his beloved Daisy and a network of friends who will remember him for his kindness and the joy he brought into their lives. 

Arrangements are under the direction of Adams Funeral Home, Nixa and cremation rites will be accorded by Adams Crematory.
