Paul STOREY Obituary

STOREY, Paul Lawson
Born 12-2-76 in Sacramento. Paul lived in Davis, graduated from CB High School, then settled in Roseville.
He was dynamic, playful, loved the outdoors, favored country music, and was dedicated to work at BCE, friends, his parents and sisters, and to his wife, young son, and baby daughter. He was looking forward to joyfully raising his children together.
His lively sense of humor will be missed by all he touched. His personal light will always shine on heartwarming memories. In strength for today and hope for tomorrow.

Coming up on 13 years without your laugh, your smile, your jokes and your hugs. You have been the topic of most of the conversations in our home lately . The kids are so big now. You have missed so much in their young life. Just want you to know how much we love you and miss you.

You once wrote about hearing the wings of geese beating overhead as you sat listening on the levee one night. This morning, a flock fly over, sending a sign.
Tonight is the Autumnal Equinox, another of the Universe“s wonders as you studied the night sky.
Always remembering.
Love, Mom

Always taking into mind your very own personal twist on life, we continue and always will remind ourselves, how would Paul plan for this?, how would he react to this situation or that one?, what would he say and would we laugh, be shocked, or nod in absolute agreement?

Your children so remind us of you that they keep you close in our lives. Warming ourselves in your personal light every day, and loving you forever,
Mom and Dad

My dear brother Paul,
I miss you terribly. It still doesn't seem possible that you aren't a phone call or short drive away. It's devastating to have had you so suddenly, tragically, and purposelessly taken away.
You loved your family and your friends so deeply, showed your compassion and empathy so openly, and spread your charm, care, and humor so widely. THAT will never be taken away, we all have so many memories that we will cherish forever.
I go to those memories when the great hole your absence has created becomes too much to bear. I also get comfort in the glimpses of you I see in your two beautiful children. I will continue to be present and involved with both of them and will make sure to share with them all of the things that made you how I knew you best: an amazing friend, brother, father, and son.

I love you so and you are forever in my heart. XOXO

Remembering the fullness of a day spent with you and the children one year ago today-- dumdums, bebes, Endeavor, baby bottles, apple time, tomato picking, doves, music, puzzles, nap time with Taylor, kitchen play with Peter, bee sting doctoring, volcano movie, Peter's bedtime, and giggling peek-a-boo with Taylor. What a fine day, a fine family, a fine son! YOur Lawson legacy lives on. You truly left the world a better place than you found it!
Our love forever,

You are thought of and loved everyday by us all. You will never be forgotten nor will you ever be replaced. You are a very special one of a kind person and will forever be in my heart. I love you so much Paul. As we approach the 1 year date I look back on all of the time we had with nothing but happiness and laughter, you gave me the 10 best years of my life and I will always love you, your smile and sense of humor.

11 months ago today you were taken from us. I lost amazing friend, husband, soulmate. Our kids lost a great father and friend. This world lost a truly amazing man, sweet, caring, compassionate, thoughtful, intelligent, funny, strong, and honest man. I guess the sayings true god takes the best early. I know you are with us in everything we do. We now have a truly special angel. I miss you so much, each day that passes brings a new heartache but also something good. I see so much of you in our children. We are so blessed to of had you for the time we did. You are always on my mind and forever in my heart, never forgotton. I love you Paul.

Summer memories of Ranch camping in your tent, barbecue meals under the walnut tree, Peter with Taylor riding in the Gator, fire pit circles, stars, flashlights.

Its been 9 months since you were taken from us. We miss you so much, Paul. I think of you everyday. The kids are doing so much. Peter has started to swim and our sweet Taylor, well she has no fear she will do anything. You would be so proud of these kids. Peter is having a difficult time right now.

To Paul, on Father's Day
You made Papa Pete dad, then became one yourself when Little Peter was born. When I reflect on the two beautiful gifts you gave us in Peter and Taylor, I am reminded in the most deep and dearest way that you truly left this place better than you found it.
We miss you, Daddy Paul
Our love to you, your Mom and Dad

Thinking of you so much lately. Really missing all of the little things. COming home and seeing your beautiful smile and hearing your voice, your laugh. Seeing you hold our daughters hand while you teo stroll down the street together on a walk and seeing you play games with our handsome son before bed. I miss your foot wrapped up in mine when we sleep at night. I miss my best friend and the man I was supposed to be with forever who was taken from this world far too early. The world lost an amazing light the day you were taken, you are loved by so many. You have touched so many peoples lives and hearts, there isn't a day nor will there ever be a day that you do not cross my mind or many others. My love for you didn't end with death, my love for you is eternal . I love you Paul.

On May 22, my calendar gave starfish significance so now, along with the full moon and birds, there is recognition of you in all the oceans and the breezes, waves, sand, clouds, rain, salt; all of it!
Full moon tonight and I'll be blowing you a little kiss.
Love forever and always,

i cant believe its been 8 months since you were ripped from our lives. It seems like just yesterday we were together, yet it seems like its been forever. When you were taken from us this world lost an amazing person, I lost my best friend, my husband, my soulmate. Our beautiful kids lost an amazing father and friend and many others lost someone very dear and special. I am doing my absolute best to keep on living and moving forward without you but it is so very difficult. You are forever in our hearts and thoughts. I hope we will be together again someday. I miss you more then you could imagine, I love you with all of my heart.

I know you will be here with us in spirit. Daddy's little girl is getting bigger and doing so many wonderful things, so many things you wanted to see and to share with her, it breaks my heart that you are missing it. You are a wonderful father and these kids are so very blessed to have you for their dad. You gave them more in their short years with you then most kids get in a whole lifetime from their dad. We love you and miss you so much.

Today was finally the day, the day we have been waiting for. I took my state boards for my nursing license. We were looking forward to doing this together and having a better future for us and our beautiful babies. I am so happy I was able to do it today. I did it for you babe, if I didnt get strength from you and our kids I wouldn't have been able to make it through these very trying, difficult last 7 months. I want you to be proud of me wherever you are now. You are my heart and I love you so much.

I love you Paul and the time we shared together will always bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart, I am the luckiest girl in the world for having had the honor of being your wife. I would give anything to have you back with me, even if only for a day, but I wouldn't trade the time we shared no matter how much hurts now.

I once had something special that money couldn't buy, I had a special person but i had to say goodbye. If I was asked one question why I thought the world of you I could give a million answers and they would all be true. The heartache and the sadness may not always show. People say it lessens, but little do they know. Meet me in my dreams and talk to me once more and ease this everlasting pain that makes my heart so sore. The road without you is so long, a tear for every mile, but I know one day when I reach the end you will be waiting for me with a smile.

Rachel Storey

I miss you when I laugh and cry, because I know that you're the one who makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear. I mis you all the time, but I miss you the most when I lie awake at night and think of all the wonderful times we spent with each other for those were the best most memorable moments of my life.
