It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Paul Tessier Sr, age 68. After years of battling dementia, he is at peace now.
Paul is survived by his beloved wife of 38 years, Judy Tessier, his son, Paul Tessier Jr, his daughter and son-in-law, Larissa and Anthony King, two granddaughters, Makayla and Olivia King, his mother, Rita Tessier, and his sister, Christine Hobbs, as well as nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his father Robert Tessier, his brother Peter Tessier, and his sister Pattie Quint.
Paul was born in Salem, Massachusetts, where he spent the greater part of his life. Many of his youthful years were involved with the SeaScouts, making memories and life-long friends. Paul met Judy as her mechanic. She didn't know it yet, but he started fixing a lot more than just her car. What started as friendship flourished in to love. They soon created a family together. Paul worked hard at Suburnban Oil as an oil burner technician. Then became a milkman for Westlynn Creamery where he always provided and supported his family. He was able to transfer his job to Meadow Gold Dairy in Colorado where Paul and his family moved to in 2007,and began to enjoy life beyond work. On his days off, Paul could be found spending time with his family, grilling on the patio, or hanging out with the granddaughters and friends. After he retired, Paul enjoyed bike riding, kayaking, and going on long walks with his best friends; his wife Judy and his dog Benji.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to place a memorial tribute bench along one of his most loved walking/bike trails. Paul would have appreciated being able to provide a safe spot one last time for his loved ones. Please reach out to Larissa, Judy or Paul Jr if you would like to make a contribution.
