Paul Stull Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Erickson Funeral Home, Ltd. - Argyle on Mar. 9, 2026.
Paul Francis Stull, age 75, passed away peacefully at his home on March 8, 2026. Born on March 21, 1950, in Madison, Wisconsin, Paul was the beloved son of Wendell and Lillian (Keller) Stull.

Paul spent his early years in Madison before moving with his family to Deerfield, where he graduated from Deerfield High School. Following graduation, he briefly pursued studies in architecture at Madison Area Technical College. In 1971, Paul met the love of his life, Vicky Rygh, and the couple was united in marriage on April 19, 1975, at East Wiota Lutheran Church. Together they built a life in Madison and Monroe, where Paul earned an associate degree in Mechanical Maintenance from Blackhawk Technical College and began his career as a machine mechanic.

In 2001, Paul and Vicky moved to rural Platteville, Wisconsin, where they made their home for the past 25 years. Throughout his career, Paul was known for his strong work ethic and mechanical skill, dedicating many years to his work as a maintenance mechanic.

Paul had a deep love for travel and adventure. He and Vicky spent many memorable years exploring the open road on their motorcycle, visiting 49 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces together. He had a curious mind and enjoyed learning about history and space, often watching documentaries. A loyal sports fan, he enjoyed the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers. In his younger years he enjoyed hunting with his black powder rifle and spending time outdoors. He was also an avid tinkerer who could often be found in his garage, fixing and restoring just about anything around the house.

Paul was a charter life member of the American Motorcyclist Association, a member of the American Voyager Motorcycle Association and a member of the Badgerland Voyagers Motorcycle Club, communities that reflected his love for motorcycles and camaraderie on the road.

He is survived by his loving wife, Vicky Stull; his brothers, Bill Stull, Larry Stull, Tom (Debbie) Stull, and George Stull; and his sisters, Kathy Stull and Lynn (Pat) Schrauth. He is also fondly remembered by his sister-in-law Amy Stull and brothers-in-law David, Tom, and Gene Rygh.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents; his siblings, JoAnn Lawrence, Mary Walker, and Wendell "JR" Stull Jr.; and sisters-in-law Diane and Tracy.

Paul will be remembered for his steady presence, generous spirit, and the quiet joy he found in working with his hands and exploring the world alongside the people he loved.

A Graveside service will be held at East Wiota Cemetery (10499 WI-78, South Wayne, WI 53587) on Saturday, March 14, 2026, at 12:00 P.M. with Deacon Bill Bussan officiating. The Erickson Funeral Home in Argyle is serving the family. Online condolences may be expressed at www.ericksonfuneralhome.com.
