It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paul Douglas Partin, who left this world on August 5, 2025, at the age of 69. Born on June 14, 1956, in Albion, Michigan, to Abner and Mollie Partin, Paul lived a life deeply rooted in faith, kindness, and service.

Paul dedicated his life to the ministry, a calling he embraced with passion and devotion. He served as a minister and touched countless lives through his compassionate outreach. His journey in ministry began as a Chaplin at nursing homes, providing comfort and care. Later, Paul embraced the role of a Christian school teacher at Central Florida Christian School in Maitland, Florida, where he inspired young minds with his unwavering faith and dedication. In addition to his work in ministry, Paul explored the world beyond, living and teaching in Guam for two years. He cherished every opportunity to experience new cultures and meet new people. His love for life extended to various endeavors, including his time selling shoes and working at JCPenney in Tampa, Florida, Schneider Shoes in Lakeland, Florida, and as an assistant manager at Johnston and Murphy Shoes in Chesterfield, Missouri. Paul was also an enthusiastic supporter of the Republican Party, engaging in political discussions and advocating for his beliefs.

Paul leaves behind his beloved wife Tina Partin; brothers Rodney Partin and James (Barbara Cohen) Partin; his nephew Stewart Partin; and his furry companions Keyona and Lucky.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Aria in Brookfield, Aurora Summit Hospital, and Select Specialty at Aurora West Allis for their compassionate care and support during Paul’s final days

In lieu of flowers, Paul’s family encourages contributions be made to organizations that support seniors and disabled individuals.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date at the Bread of Life Charismatic Episcopal Church (CEC) on 214 Grove St, Dousman, WI 53118. Please check back for updates.
