When I was first saved, I heard Paul perform "King Jesus Will Roll My Burdens Away" like Jesus was coming back any second. It's stuck with me to this day.

I wanted to share a special memory Paul shared with me 5 years ago. I cleaned house for Paul once a week until I got married in 2022. While cleaning one day, he shared how he had always been raised in church. One morning while at church, Paul's mom took him into church and she went back to the nursery. While service proceeded and the pastor was taking up prayer requests, 4 year old Paul was amazed by the "dramatic" prayer requests, so he decided to put in his own prayer request. So he raised his little hand and the pastor called on him and he said "please pray for my mom she is very sick and she fell down the basement steps (which they didn't even have a basement), and went outside and was bitten by a snake. The congregation began to laugh. Paul turned around to see him mother motioning him to come back to the nursery where he said he "got the beating of his life", and his mother said "Paul, of all the places to tell a lie"! Paul and I laughed and laughed about that. I loved Paul dearly and he will be greatly missed! He was such a generous and kind man. I only wish I could be there at the funeral, but do to circumstances I cannot. Rhonda Jones.

I have known Paul since I was a little girl, so many memories of him cutting up, coming to my house as a child dressed up like Santa, being my children church teacher, going out to eat after church and so much more. Heaven has gained an Angel. Until we meet again Paul you will truely be missed Love Teresa (aka ) Terri

So full of love, life and laughter. I remember him from Children's Church days. All of us kids loved him as he was young himself, just in his early 20's back then. He gave us assignments like writing papers on our faith and putting on wonderful holiday presentations for church. A beautiful soul for sure.

Paul was a very good friend. He always played for me and tried to to make me sing like a tenor. I was actually a baritone!!
Paul was extremely talented on the keyboard and even amazed me singing at times. He will be missed but in a better place.
