Verbon Pauldo

Verbon "Verb" Pauldo Jr., a cherished son, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on September 17, 2024, due to complications of heart disease. Born on October 1, 1987, in Cleveland, Ohio, Verb's infectious smile and boundless energy brought joy to all who knew him. He departed this world from the same state that he loved and called home for all his life.
Verb grew up in a loving family and was the beloved son of Winifer Pangburn and Verbon Pauldo, with Don Pangburn warmly embracing the role of bonus dad. He was the protective and adoring brother to Seanya Allen-Gilbert, Stephaun Pauldo, Teyvaun Allen, and his bonus siblings Marche Freeman and Terrence McIntyre. His grandmothers, Zenobia Pauldo and Betty Brown, along with aunts and uncles-Sheila, Leaster, Donald, Cedric (preceded in death) and Jocelin-nurtured him with love and wisdom. His best friend Big Dave, and a large host of cousins, nieces, and nephews will forever remember his playful spirit and dedication to family.
A proud graduate of Shaw High School, Verb carried the lessons and friendships from his alma mater throughout his life. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to become the owner of Jay St. Cleaning Company, his work was not just a job; it was a testament to his belief in the value of hard work and service. An avid sports fan, Verb's passion for the Cleveland Browns and the Cleveland Cav's was unwavering. His loyalty to his teams was matched only by his loyalty to those he cared about.
Verb lived his life by the principle that "The only way to do great work is to love what you do," a sentiment famously expressed by Steve Jobs.
This philosophy was evident in every aspect of Verb's life-from his business to his personal relationships. As we reflect on Verb's life, we are reminded of the joy he found in everyday moments and the love he had for those around him. His legacy is one of laughter, dedication, and the unwavering belief in the importance of family and Faith in God. He will be deeply missed, but the memories he created will be treasured by all who were fortunate enough to know him. Verbon "Verb" Pauldo Jr.'s life was a beacon of how to live with enthusiasm and dedication. His departure leaves a void in the hearts of many, but his spirit will continue to inspire us. As we say goodbye to Verb, we celebrate the remarkable life he led and the countless lives he touched.
