Paul Allen Obituary

Paul Brian Allen Paul left this world far too soon on July 14, 2008. He was born on Feb. 19, 1985 and lived most of his life on Anderson Island.

Paul,

I recieved the news late lastnight and was in shock. You and Alex were good friends and he is surely going to miss you. You always had great spirit when I knew you and hope that God is taking care of you now. Rest your soul.

Paul,
We had so many great memories growing up together on the island. From the swimmin' hole, the parties with tattoo nights, lol, and some pure solid boredom during those long winter months. I have always thought of you as a best friend, you always cared for me and treated me so well. I can't believe this has happened, I just saw you on the 4th. At least you are in a better place, save a spot for me. I love you dearly, my friend. May God take care of you now.

Paul,

You will always be in my heart.

I have always cherished all of the time we spent together.

Never will a day go by that I won't miss you because you will always be a part of me.

I will always love you little brother.

Ken

I only met you once when I came to visit - You were so sweet, helpful to me and seemed interested in the South. I was looking forward to someday help you tour my state, see the sites and meet your Southern cousins. I will cherish the memory of our time together forever.

Paul - I love you and always will. I will cherish your memory forever and I thank God for sharing you with us. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.
