Paul Rearick Obituary

Paul Rearick

Paul passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 5, 2017 in Renton, WA.

Paul was born in Fremont, OH on December 30, 1948 to George and Teresa Rearick. After high school he served his country in the Air Force during Vietnam; moving from Fremont to Spokane, and then the Seattle area.

Prior to retirement, Paul worked as the Parts Guy for Stoneway Concrete, where he was loved by co-workers and vendors alike. His friends and family knew him for his sense of humor, friendly nature and warm spirit - he will be greatly missed by many. He loved tinkering in the garage, working on cars, reading, music and spending time with his family.

He is preceded in death by his parents George and Teresa, and brother Philip Rearick. He is survived by his wife Carolyn Rearick, children Sheri and Ryan Rearick, stepchildren Korrine Gonzales, Shannon Anderson and Greg Anderson; grandchildren Ryan Jr. and Haley Rearick; step-grandchildren Derrick and Shelby Gonzales, Brittany, Savanna and Tristen Anderson; Bailey and Conner Anderson - along with beloved cat Alex and his 1976 Vega.

A memorial service will be announced at a future date. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Seafair Clowns Foundation.
