Sweitzer, Paul Keith

Aug 24, 1960 - Aug 5, 2024

Paul Keith Sweitzer (63) of College Station, Texas suffered a heart attack and passed away on August 5, 2024. Paul was born August 24, 1960 in Fort Worth, Texas and adopted at birth by Clayton and Ruth Sweitzer. He was baptized as an infant and confirmed in the Methodist church in his youth. Paul spent most of his childhood living in Houston and was a lifelong fan of Houston sports. He watched his beloved Astros almost daily and knew the game of baseball inside and out. He grew up watching the Oilers football, then the Texans. He and his family moved to La Grange, Texas where he spent his teenage years. Paul attended the University of Texas in Austin, and met his lifelong love, Susan, back in La Grange during the summer between school semesters. He earned his law degree from Texas Tech University and went on to practice family and civil law for 38 years until his retirement in 2023.

Paul and Susan married in 1985 and chose to make College Station their home. Together they have 3 sons of whom Paul was incredibly proud. He taught them to love baseball, coaching their Little League teams and watching baseball together at every opportunity. He served as a Boy Scout leader and led each of his sons to the rank of Eagle Scout. He and his family made many trips to Texas state parks where they all enjoyed camping. Paul was a lifelong learner and particularly enjoyed filling his mind with history, meteorology, and the Bible. Paul was a faithful member of Christ Church in College Station for nearly 30 years and taught his family about Jesus.

After raising 3 great men, he and Susan have enjoyed more time together, going to concerts and sports games, tasting wine, trying new restaurants, and taking trips to the Hill Country. They were blessed with 6 beautiful grandchildren who have filled their home with laughter and chaos and whom Paul loved immensely.

Paul is survived by Susan, his beloved wife of 39 years; sons Bradley (Katherine Richards), Quinton (Caitlin Gillespie), and Thomas; and his grandchildren Eleanor, Samuel, Jordan, Bennett, Elliott, and Landon, all of Houston; his sister, Amy (Tim Evans), of La Grange; along with his close circle of family and friends. He is preceded in death by his parents. Paul will be deeply missed for his inquisitive spirit, witty banter, and sweet companionship.

The family will celebrate Paul's life on Friday, August 9, 2024 beginning at 1 p.m. at Christ Church in College Station.
