They were married on June 1, 1996 in Hulbert, OK; their marriage was blessed with two wonderful daughters, Shyanne and Katie Avery. Paul was an Iron Worker by trade and truly enjoyed the work he did. He was a good husband and friend to those that took the time to really know him. He always found the time to spend cutting up with friends and family, and never missed a chance to teach the kids, the lessons of life. He was willing to step up and help anyone with anything, without complaining. Paul had a passion for motorcycles and loved the time spent riding with his daughter Katie. He was never more proud of anything than his family, and the greatest title he wore was Dad.

Those that completed the journey before him include his grandparents, JD and Betty Edwards and one brother, Michael Avery.
