Preceding him in death are his parents; infant son, Michael Lynn; infant daughter, Paulette Louise; and brother John Miles.
Paul dedicated his life to serving the Lord. Paul's purpose in life was to live for the Lord and to be with Him through all of eternity.

Paul was a strong patriarch of his extended family, a good friend to all, and a man who imparted wisdom, changing many lives.

He was especially committed to and attended a home bible study group where he continued his passion of always learning something new.
