In Loving Memory of Paul Michael Viollis, Jr.
February 26, 1988 to December 22, 2025

"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me." Matthew 25:40

Paul Michael Viollis, Jr. was a devoted follower of Christ whose life was a living reflection of his faith. His relationship with God was the foundation of who he was, guiding how he loved, how he served others, and how he moved through the world with humility, compassion, and quiet strength.

Paul Michael found God most clearly in creation. He deeply loved the beach and rarely missed a sunrise, believing each one was a reminder of God's grace and new beginnings. Through his passion for photography, Paul Michael captured the beauty he saw in the world, moments of light, peace, and wonder that reflected his gentle soul and thoughtful spirit.

Above all else, Paul Michael loved people. His cherished family and friends were the center of his world, but his love did not stop there. He had an extraordinary heart for helping others and would truly give the shirt off his back to someone in need. His kindness was instinctive, his generosity unmeasured, and his empathy unwavering. He lived his faith through action, always seeking to uplift, protect, and care for those around him.

At the very center of Paul Michael's life were his parents, Paul and Karen Viollis. He adored them deeply and lived with profound gratitude for their love, guidance, and faith. Their bond was unwavering and filled with mutual respect, devotion, and pride. Paul Michael honored his parents through the way he lived his life, and they cherished him for the extraordinary son he was.

He was also a constant protector and source of strength to his sister, Jenn. Always her little brother and always her guardian, he had an instinctive way of watching over her, standing beside her with loyalty, reassurance, and unwavering love. Through every chapter of life, he was her steady presence, her quiet strength, and her reminder that she was never alone.

Paul Michael was the most loving uncle and godfather to Parker and Mason, whom he adored with his whole heart. He was endlessly proud of the young men they were becoming and admired their strength, character, and kindness. He found great joy in watching them grow, offering encouragement, protection, and unwavering support, always reminding them of their worth and potential.

Paul Michael also shared a deeply meaningful bond with his Uncle Marc, his godfather, mentor, and more than an uncle, a true friend whose faith and guidance he deeply respected.

He was also the proud and devoted dog dad to his sweet pup, Henry, whom he loved fiercely. Henry was more than a pet. He was family, a constant companion, and a source of joy and comfort in Paul Michael's life.

Paul Michaels career was storied despite its tragic brevity. Leaving UCF and moving to NYC with the goal of breaking into the global fashion industry, he did that and more. In a short time, he went from intern to sales executive representing global brands from one of the most well-respected showrooms in the garment district. As his international exposure grew, he found a love for the family business and joined Viollis Group International in client relations. Over the last 10 years, he earned the position of Senior Vice President and Head of Clandestine Intelligence. His daily contributions to our clients were immeasurable, as he drew upon his anti-terrorism training to provide our operators with critical intelligence that saved lives, careers, corporate brands, and high-profile reputations. His commitment to God and country was paramount.

Those who knew Paul Michael will remember his warm smile, his sense of humor, his gentle presence, his unwavering faith, and his incredible ability to make others laugh, feel seen and feel cared for. His life was a testament of love. Paul Michael's light, compassion, and Christ centered spirit will forever remain in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.

A Funeral Mass celebrating Paul Michael's life will be held on Saturday, January 3rd at 11:00 a.m. at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, 5655 Stadium Parkway, Melbourne, Florida 32940. There will be no reception following the Mass.

If you wish to send flowers, the family kindly asks that all floral tributes be delivered directly to the church.
