Paul Parzynski, beloved father, grandfather, and friend, passed away on September 22, 2025 at the age of 76. Born on August 14, 1949 in Detroit, Michigan, Paul was the son of Bruno and Helen Parzynski. He was preceded in death by his parents; his brothers Bruno, Donald, and Gerald; his sister Christine Olson, and his niece Charlene Olson.

Paul's greatest pride and joy was his family. He is survived by his loving children: Cheryl Mendel and her husband Jonathan, Fr. Jason Parzynski, Rachel Kleinke and her husband Alan, and James Parzynski and his wife Melissa. he was the proud grandfather of Luke, Mark, Nathan, Lilyann, Asher, Piper, and Palmer. Paul is also survived by his former wife Kathleen, with whom he shared many years and the gift of family, and by his devoted girlfriend, Tracie.

Paul was a man of quiet strength, deep faith, and steady love. His trust in God guided him through life and shaped the way he cared for his family. He dedicated himself to providing for his children and instilling in them the tools they needed to thrive in life. Whether through encouragement, a hard-earned lesson, or the simple constancy of his presence, Paul gave of himself generously. His legacy of love, resilience, and devotion will live on in his children and grandchildren.

Paul cherished family above all else. He enjoyed the everyday moments- conversations around the table, time spent with loved ones, and the pride of seeing his family grow. His grandchildren were a source of great delight, and his gentle smile always revealed his deep affection for them.

Paul will be remembered with gratitude and love by all who knew him. Through is presence will be deeply missed, the faith he lived, the values he instilled, and the love he shared remain a guiding light for those he leaves behind.
