Paul Martin Kinzel

Paul grew up in Spokane and graduated from Ferris High School class of 1987. During the Summer of 1987, Paul attended Silver Lake Camp as a counselor and met his love of his life Kelley (AKA his Queeny) while he was water skiing. To get her attention he skied close to the dock and sprayed her with water while she was laying out in the sun. They realized at that moment they had an attraction that would never sperate them. Paul followed Kelley back to Yakima while she finished high school and he attended YVC Jr. college. In 1990 Paul and Kelley moved to Spokane. Paul proposed, and they got married within a month. During this time Paul attended and graduated from Eastern Washington University with a double major in Marketing and Finance graduating 1993. Paul began his career in finance and mortgage lending. August 14, 1993 Paul’s first child was born, Robert (Robby) Paul Kinzel. Within two years his second child was born, Amanda (Mandy) Lynn Kinzel. Paul volunteered as sport coaches, parent groups, and any activity he could to be involved in his kid’s lives. Paul’s priority was his family. He selflessly put them first and loved them daily. Mandy married Judd Lewis August 2016 and Robby is engaged to marry Bri Leslie July 2018. Paul was outgoing and adventurous. He loved sports, watching the Seahawks, riding his motorcycle, hiking, being in the sun, and spending every available moment with Kelley and his children. Paul recently celebrated his 27th wedding anniversary in the Caribbean on a cruise. He told everyone that he had his 27th honeymoon with his Queeny!
