Paul John Morales

Paul John Morales passed away on January 25, 2025, surrounded by his family, who loved him.
Born on Sunday, September 20, at 6:55 p.m., he was named after Pope John Paul II, who had just completed a visit to the United States as Paul entered the world. He grew up in Rohnert Park, a happy and curious child who loved spending time with his siblings, often exploring new things and leading his siblings on daring explorations or into mischief.
His passion for Culinary Arts began in high school, setting the foundation for a lifelong career in the food and beverage industry. Paul worked in restaurants across Marin and Sonoma Counties, earning the respect of colleagues and customers alike for his skill, professionalism, and dedication. He had a deep appreciation for creating great meals and the joy of bringing people together around a table.
Beyond his career, Paul was a devoted father to his three daughters, Ellie Rose, Aria Eislyn, and Aurora Kelley. He took great pride in them and cherished every moment spent with them.
Paul had a unique way of blending humor and heart and will be remembered for his warmth; even in his absence, we can all hear his big laugh reminding us to laugh a little louder and love a little deeper.
Paul is survived by his daughters, parents, siblings, twelve nieces, and nephews, as well as extended family, friends, and colleagues who will miss him dearly.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that all contributions go toward supporting Paul's three beautiful daughters as they navigate life without their father. Donations can be made directly through this GoFundMe page (copy and paste the LINK below):
