Paul Verkuilen Obituary

Verkuilen, Paul

Paul Christopher Verkuilen passed away in Indiana on April 21, 2016 at the age of 43. Paul was born in Appleton, Wisconsin on March 22, 1973 to Nancy (Harold) Hauser and Thomas Verkuilen.

Paul was a graduate of Appleton West High School and Marian College. He had many varied interests, sports, playing cards, competitive pool, golf... and always enjoyed family events. He will be especially remembered as a history aficionado and his trips abroad, especially London, were some of his happiest memories.

He will be deeply missed by those who survive: mother, Nancy, stepfather, Harold, brother, Scott (Carol) Verkuilen, stepsisters, Chrysta (Todd) Henrickson, Tammy (Lyle) Thomas, Heidi (Jason) Wilcox, stepbrothers, Greg (Shele) Hauser, Chad (Terri) Hauser, Matt (Mandy) Hauser. Special nieces and nephews, Kyra, Justin, Andrew, Camron, Collin, T.J. and Derek, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Paul was preceded in death by his father, grandparents, an uncle and cousin.

The family has honored his request that there be no funeral or formal service.

A private family gathering has been held. RIP Paul. We love you!

Sad news for Appleton West High School class of 1991. Paul was a very good friend of mine, especially during Our Einstein junior high days, a great and humorous guy, who was always there for me to lend a helping hand. I will miss you my friend. Todd Arnold
