Paul Matvey Obituary
Known for his fun-loving nature and generosity, Paul would give you the shirt off his back without hesitation.
Preceded in death by his father, Frederick Matvey, Paul is survived by his loving mother, Barbara (Chuck) Trumbo; his brother, Jamie (Kate) Matvey, and his sister, Kendra (Joshua) Babbey. He is also remembered by Karl Warther, a close friend and mentor.
Paul cherished spending summers with his family at Oglebay Park and found great joy in serving his guests at Dairy Queen. In his free time, Paul dedicated himself to caring for kittens at the Paws and Prayers Pet Rescue.
A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, May 31, 2024, from 4 to 7 PM, at the Heritage Barn, located at 5238 Young Road, Stow, Ohio 44224. Friends and family are invited to a casual, open house-style gathering to honor Paul's memory and the impact he had on all who knew him.
Donations can be made in his memory to the Paws and Prayers Pet Rescue. (www.pawsandprayers.org/memorial-and-honorary-gifts).

Thinking of your amazing son. Whenever I saw him working at Dairy Queen or Drug Marr he was usually smiling. Always helpful and courteous. Paul was a conscientious young man and a hard worker. Truly am saddened by your loss. Miss him too! Mrs Ida G Berridge

It has been so many years but I recall Paul always hanging around with us older kids in Kendra´s grade at the volleyball courts. He always had a smile on his face and an upbeat attitude. He was the sort of kid that brought laughter and joy whenever he was around. I´m very saddened to hear of his loss.

My deepest sympathy to Paul's family. I was a parent library helper at silver lake school. He was a friend of my daughter Stephanie Sassa so i got to know him as a young child. Paul was full of life and had a great imagination at that time, and we gravitated to each other in that imagination, of stories and class parties. I would call him "Sir Paul and he would call me Lady Sassa". Again so sorry to hear. Prayers and healing.
