Paul Crowley Obituary
Oct 1, 1964 - Oct. 3, 2019
San Jose, CA
Paul David Crowley was born Oct. 1, 1964 and passed away on Oct. 3, 2019 surrounded by loved ones when his big heart failed to keep up with his relentless drive. He will be dearly missed by his family and friends who will forever remember his infectious grin and ever-present sense of humor. Paul was a ranked kneeboard surfer, beach volleyball player, artist, entrepreneur and born salesman. A graduate of Leland High School and San Diego State University, Paul loved the beach and traveled the world with his board, surfing in some of the world's most exotic locations before settling in San Diego, followed by Santa Cruz and San Jose. He could read the waves and tides with ease, eventually coaching his daughter's high school surfing team. A very proud father, beloved son and brother, his passing leaves a void in the heart of everyone who knew him.

Our deepest condolences and love -- rest in peace, Paul.
Every time I saw Paul he had a big smile on his face and loved to share his stories on his latest projects. The last time we recently spoke he was needing some help trying to figure out how to fix his motorbike. He had the same big smile and friendly sincerity I remember as a kid, when I would watch him with amazement skate on his backyard ramp or when he taught me to ride a skateboard whiling getting pulled by Jasper.
We will miss you and your warm smile, neighbor.
Richard & family

Paul was a friend from elementary school. Through years of YMCA, neighborhood gatherings, finding trouble in the creek near Williams School, Paul was a buddy. He was a great guy and will be missed. God Bless, Paul.
