Kareen 
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of Paul. Renee and I had no idea and are so sorry we didn't know. We still have great memories of the UBC Single Adults Group of great friends and a place where many met our spouses. 
Know we send our prayers and thoughts to you. Hold tight to the good times and delight in the fact that u will see him again in eternity.

My heartfelt condolences to the family of Paul Farmer. I worked with Paul at Cedar Bayou. He was an outstanding Supervisor and great to work for. He will be greatly missed, and always be remembered.     Manuel Boudreaux

It was truly a blessing to have known Paul as our close family friend.  We will treasure all the great memories of time spent together - the indian princess camping trips and Schlitterbahn with the girls, the guys ski trips and football games, and especially the bucket list trips. Paul was a Godly man, a devoted husband and a loving father.  We pray God will comfort you and your family and give you peace.  We love you all.

My condolences to the Farmer family.  I pray for your healing during this difficult time. I had the good fortune of working with Paul for many years.  He truly was a special man.  Kind, generous, respectful, smart, helpful and fun to be around.  I'm not surprised to see so many others have similar comments.  He will truly be missed.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Praying the words of John 6:40 bring you peace

Kareen and Lindsey,

My prayers go out to you and your family members doing this difficult time. Paul was a special man he treated people with respect and made you feel welcome in his presence. So, just hold onto God healing and powerful hands and he will definitely help you through this time of sorrow. Also, always cherish and keep those precious memories close to your heart.

My condolences to Paul's family. I worked with him at Cedar Bayou and he was a great boss. He will be missed.

Praying for your family during this very difficult time.
Sincerely, Brent, Jan, Ellen, and Michael Bailey

My deepest condolences to the Farmer Family. I was blessed to have known Paul as a classmate at Canyon High School. He was a gentle, kind, and generous person. I will always remember his warm smile and thoughtfulness. May God  bless you.

Paul was a great aviation colleague to work with - even across10,000miles.  He will always be remembered.  I am still shocked by the sudden tragic accident although I am sure he has lived his life to the fullest.  I offer Kareen and Lindsey my deepest condolences and I am sure Paul will always be watching over them.

Kareen and Lindsey, my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. I remember fun times at Bible studies and family gatherings. May God bless you and give you the strength to cope with this tragedy.
Michael Bright

Our hearts, our prayers and thoughts are with the Farmer family during this time.  Paul and I worked as colleagues for several years and I have never met a man so kind and generous.  I was fortunate to learn so much from Paul.  His contributions to his work, the company and fellow workers were enormous.  I know Paul lived life to the fullest and during his time here he left a positive impression on anyone he came in contact with.  He will surely be missed and I am extremely grateful I had the opportunity to become close friends with Paul.

Kareen - You and your family will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I was so sorry about Paul.  My heart is broken, but the memories of "jamming" with him in and outside of UBC are incredible and cherished.  I will always think of him when I hear Tom Petty's voice or a SRV riff.  Heaven has gained a great musician & I pray that Lindsey will continue to feel her father's love from above every single day.

It's been over 25 years since I worked with Paul at Cedar Bayou but I still hold very fond memories of those times. Paul and I quickly became friends, and although decades have gone by since then, his passing leaves a hole in my heart. Kareen and Lindsey, my prayer is that God will give you strength and comfort during this difficult time.

Kareen and Lindsey, May God continue to wrap His arms around y'all and provide some comfort.  Pauls presence will be truly be missed but he will always be with y'all. Carry him in your thoughts and dreams. Love y'all ,Rod,Roslyn,R.J.,Rachel and Angel

I am very sorry for your loss. May the God of all comfort be with you during this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. 
My heartfelt condolences to the family during this time of sorrow. (1Corinthains 15:26)

Our Thoughts and Prayers continue for you and your family.  I was so blessed to have several work trips with Paul.  Some of the best and most memorable times I've had were chasing him down a snowy mountain and admiring his adventurous enthusiasm and love for his family as we rode the chair lift back up.  As a customer and friend you could never ask for a better person than Paul.  He was always professional, honest, fair, and displayed the utmost of integrity.  He was loved and will be missed.

Paul was not just a colleague, but a good friend.  My thoughts and prayers are with Kareen and Lindsey.  May the amazing joy and love you shared as a family bring you comfort in these difficult times.

I had the opportunity of working with Paul for almost 8 years. Paul was one of the most kind and patient managers I have ever known. He always had a kind word to say, a smile on his face and was full of passion in whatever he did. I'll never forget his last words to me which were kind words of encouragement  and I'll forever cherish the fun memories of him playing his guitar at the team party. It was very evident that there was nothing more important to Paul than his family. 
I am truly sorry for your loss Kareen and Lindsey. You have been in my thoughts and prayers and I will continue to lift you up in prayer. I pray that God will comfort you in a way only He can through this very difficult time.

Our hearts are broken for your loss.  Please know that Paul was a dear friend to our family and we are better people because he crossed our paths.  We will always remember the many happy times - parties, BBQ, backyard fun, vacation, high school football, bible study teaching, Grace events...  Paul was an extremely generous man and helped our family whenever we had a need - even with just a call or text when he was traveling!  We send our love and prayers to you for strength and courage in this sorrowful time.  May you cherish the memories of a truly special husband, father and friend. 

Love you.

Paul was never without a smile or a kind and caring word.  He always made an effort to make sure everyone felt welcome and special.  It was an honor to know him so many years.  Seeing him setting the example of Christ in all that he did and said will continue to ripple through the generations.  Although he is physically gone, a big part of him remains in us all, and that will never die.
Dear Kareen, Lindsey, Beverly & Harold, you are all so special to us and are held tight in our prayers.

Paul was a great person and colleague and will be greatly missed. I will always remember the fun times we had on our trip to Singapore. May God Bless you and your family.

I am very grateful to have known him. Paul always chatted about his family and the happiness that they brought him. 

He will be missed.

Leah, Kevin and Alexander Sutherland

We are truly sorry for your loss Kareen & Lindsey. We've known Paul mostly through the eyes of Kyle & Debra, and through their eyes we knew Paul was amazing. Walking through the chapel and seeing all the special moments of his life you graciously shared with others at his memorial visitation greatly increased my respect for who he was and my empathy for your tremendous loss. Our heartfelt condolences to you and Lindsey and the whole Farmer family. May you all find solace in the happiness you shared together in Paul's time here, and find hope in knowing you will one day be together again.

There are no words to express my sorrow for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Please know that I am thinking of you and the rest of your family at this time. May the love of your family comfort you in the days ahead.

My sincere condolences.

To have known Paul is a gift that I will treasure always. Memories of his smile, kindness, sincerity, and passion for the things he loved - especially his family -are his legacy. Sincere condolencies.

My husband and I did not know Paul, but are related to David through his marriage.  My cousin, Cathy is his wife and we know what a wonderful family both David and Paul came from. I am so sorry for your loss and realize how hard it is to lose someone, since my husband's memorial service was the day after Paul's accident.  To all the Farmers, may God bless and keep you!  I share in your circumstances more than you know.

Paul was a treasured colleague at Chevron/CPChem for many years.  While we haven't crossed paths in several years, I feel a great loss.    I distinctly remember Lindsey's crayon artwork adorning Paul's office over 15 years ago.  My deepest condolences to Kareen and Lindsey.

I am just shocked.  We were all together a month ago:  Paul, Kareen, Lanell, and me.  It was wonderful to see everyone from the old days again.  Everyone was doing so well.  Paul complained some about his ankle, but not too much.  He was interested in me and how I was.  I felt blessed to be able to see my old friends again, all in the same place.  It felt wonderful.  Although I am very sad now, I feel doubly blessed to have been able to see Paul one more time before his passing.  Kareen and Lindsey, you and I both know he loved you very much.  I love you too.  I have been through the fire, and I have emerged from the other side.  You can do it too.  It is hard, but I am living proof that you can do it.  I will remember you in my prayers.

 I am truly sorry for your loss Kareen, may You and Your Daughter's life remain a beautiful reflection of the love, joy and happiness shared with your Husband during his time here.

Wow, I'm at a loss for words. I worked with Paul in the Heavy Olefins business for over five years and in that time became good friends with him.  We shared the same interests in music and had many interesting discussions. A great husband and father who will surely be missed. My thought and prayers to Kareen and the entire family.

I only met Paul briefly last year and was impressed by his professionalism and courtesy.  I could feel that he was a man of faith and shared the hope of Christ in his heart.  I look forward to our meeting again someday as we are only separated by the conquered veil.  May God bless his family in this tragic hour and give them peace.

Paul was a man who truly followed the "Golden Rule".  He simply treated people the way he would want to be treated. we did not get the opportunity to meet his family but I can tell you that he was one of the most 'straight up" business people I have ever dealt with.  I know his family had to be proud of him.  We will miss his advice and wisdom much.  Our deepest sympathies.

Rodney and Lisa Ownbey

My deepest condolences to the Farmer family. He was one of the kindest people that I had the pleasure to know albeit for a brief time. It's not every day you come across someone that is so genuine and inspiring. He will be missed.

Paul and Kyle came during the summers to visit their grandma who lived across the street from us in Wheeler TX, and we became great friends. Although we've lived in the Houston area for 20 years, we never met again, but I will always remember his kindness during my awkward high school years. I am shocked and saddened at this tragic loss, and pray for peace for his family.

We, at Kars Petro Distributors, feel sorry for your Loss.
Please accept our sympathy.

Raj Shah, Sagar Shah & J.Jassal

Our thoughts and prayers go out to you, Kareen & Lindsey, along with all of Paul's family. Paul left a positive, indelible mark on our lives whilst we lived in Houston as the most kind and generous man. We are thinking of you and remembering him fondly.

Psalm 121(KJV)

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Even in your darkest moment TURN TO CHRIST~

Oh my Lord Paul will be greatly missed.  Kareen you are forever in our prayers.  "May the Lord bless you and KEEP you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.  The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you PEACE."  He is a Comforter.  Much Love and Prayers to You and Your Family ~ Rhonda (Williams)Bing

Kareen, I am so sorry to hear of the tragic loss of your husband Paul.  Our prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

I am not so sure I can submit an entry. I see his face and see joy.  For Kareen and for Lindsey.  They are all he ever talked about "His Girls."  He was my manager but I loved him so much as a person.  I am not sure that I can ever delete my text to him that night .."When does Kareen get in?" with no response. I love you Paul and you have had an impact on my life that I hope will provide peace to others.  Enjoy heaven and wait for us to join you.

Paul- you welcomed me into the business with open arms and made me feel welcome. You became a good friend very fast and I wish we had a chance to sit down and play our guitars together. Shannon and I will miss you greatly and our hearts go out to Kareen and Lindsey. You spoke so proudly of them both. Rest in peace.

I grew up with the Farmers on Avenue P. in Scottsbluff,  NE.  The memories from those times will be forever treasured.   My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

My prayers go out to Kareen, Lindsey and the entrie family.  Paul has left a huge void among his family and friends.  He was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.

It was so natural to see Paul coming through our back door with our son, Scott McMillan, when we were neighbors in Canyon, Texas and to have shared times with his wonderful family. Since Scott was our only son, Paul became like a brother in a friendship that has lasted over 30 years. Paul was kind and of the spirit that anyone could love. His death saddens us all deeply. For Kareen, Lindsey, and all the family we offer our deepest sympathy, condolences and love. Marilyn & Bobby McMillan, Lubbock, TX

Kareen, you and Lindsey are in our prayers.  May God's love and peace comfort you.

My heartfelt condolences to Kareen, Lindsey and the entire Farmer family for your loss.  Paul was a Chevron colleague that will be deeply missed. Many times he was able to be the voice of reason in the midst of the chaos.  You and your family will be my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

My condolences to Karen, Lindsey and all of Paul's family and friends for their loss. Diann and have great memories of our time with Paul last April at the Masters. 

Tommy Thompson, Dalton,Georgia

Paul was such a wonderful person. I enjoyed working for Paul the last 2 years and will miss him greatly. I know that he is now with his Lord and Savior. Our family will continue to pray for you and your family over the coming weeks.

I meet Paul and Kareen many years ago while our daughters were going to school.So many fond memories of our camping trips and adventures together with family and friends. His love for his family,friends,church and music never faded. He used it as a beacon for the world to see and continued to spread Gods love for his fellow mankind. He was a Godly man and will be truly missed and remembered.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Kareen,Lindsey and the family through this difficult time.

Kareen and Lindsey,  Words cannot express the sadness and shock over hearing about your loss. May God help you through this challenging time. Our thoughts and prayers to you and your entire family.

Kareen and Lindsey I just loved watching the way Paul loved on the two most important women in his life.  He always had a smile and look of pride when he was with you or talked about you both.  You are in our prayers and we send you all of our love.

I'm terribly sorry for your loss.  I always enjoyed Paul's company, and appreciated his calmness, professionalism, and intelligence.  He often talked about great times with his family and was always proud of Lindsey.  We will all miss him.

Paul worked for me in the Ethylene Unit. He was one of the most competent people I have ever worked with. When Paul said something, I automatically assumed he was correct, and he never failed me. I'm very sorry to hear of his death. We have lost a great man.

People say to take comfort in the memories....I'll always remember Paul's calm and practical approach to life, his ready smile, his steady friendship...& some fun travels!  Paul was a great guy and will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Condolences to the entire family.  Paul was a great man and I enjoyed the time that I worked with him.  Wishing all of God's blessing.

I am truly sorry for your loss.  I worked with Paul for many years and he was always patient and professional. He will be missed by many.

My thoughts and prayers to Kareen and the entire family.

Paul was one of my favorite people at work.  He taught me how to get along with all of the engineers and operators at Cedar Bayou and we worked together off and on supporting the Chemicals business for many years.  I remember how much he loved moving to a commercial organization so that he could 'play' with customers all the time. 

My thoughts and prayers are with Kareen and Lindsey in this difficult time.

I graduated with Paul from Canyon High School. Great guy. Prayers for your family. 2 Corinthians 4:18----Mark Johnston

Dear Kareen and Lindsey:  I am so very sorry to hear of Paul's tragic accident.  We have all lost such a sincere person that we will all miss very much.  My working relationship with Paul was from a distance, but it was easy to see how approachable he was.  I remember the passion he had for his hometown when he showed us around the wharf after our business dinner.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I pray that God gives Kareen, Lindsey and the entire family the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss.

Kareen, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.  May God give you strength to get through this.

My condolences to Karen and Lindsey in the loss of Paul. We had worked together since Paul joined the Cedar Bayou plant many years ago.

He was an easy person to know and respect as he was always trying to help. I know that he will be missed but know that he will always remain in your hearts. The world unfortunately has lost a good man devoted to family, friends and colleagues.

My heart sank and was broken.  My mind felt empty and lost.  We truly love and respect Paul as a friend, a colleague and a mentor.  My deepest  condolences go to Kareen and Lindsay and may God guide and light you through the trough.  Now that Paul had gone back to the kind arms of God, yet our memory on Paul forever stays.

Dearest Paul, you have now gone back to the arms of God.  We shall surely miss You and memory lasts until sky meets sea.

Paul was a great man, he will be truly missed. Our prayers and thoughts are directed to soften this great loss.

My sincere condolences for your loss.  Paul was a great colleague during our Global Aviation days.  He was widely respected and admired by his colleagues in the international network outside the US.  On behalf of the former Asia Pacific Chevron Global Aviation team, our thoughts are with the Farmer family during this difficult time.  Paul will be missed.

Words can't begin to describe  what an incredible person Paul was and the effect he had on the people who knew him. He will be loved and missed by so many. My prayers are with you Kareen and Lyndsey may God help you through this very sad time. My heart breaks with you and for you.

I will keep you in prayer . Frank and Maria Salazar , Crosby Texas.

Kareen, Lindsay, Harold and Beverly,

Our prayers are offered for your comfort, peace, and strength.  We extend our deepest sympathy to you.

Paul was such a special person.  He always met you with his bright eyes and a huge smile.  He had such a calm, helpful, and wise spirit...the calm in the storm.  As we like to refer to those that we know like him...he was "the voice of reason."  I consider it a privilege to have known him.  He will be greatly missed.

Paul loved to lead worship with his guitar.  He would smile and play his heart out during church services.  I loved watching his face while he played.  There is a big hole in the worship team now.  We are so sorry for the loss to his family and so grateful that we got to know him through the years.

We are so sad and sorry for your loss and hope that all the love and prayers will help to heal you in time.

Paul was a great man and it was an honor to know him.  All our love, thoughts and prayers go to Kareen and Lindsey.  God Bless You, God Bless Paul, and know that you are always in our hearts.

Greg, Angela, Scott and Sydney Schroder

The Browns are so shocked and saddened, to the core. The farmers and us all were so blessed knowing & fellowshipping with Paul so many years. Knowing God's angels are rejoicing at his arrival in heaven, I hope we can learn to focus on this hard to grasp fact so it becomes our cheer. We pray for you Lindsey & kareen, and Paul's bothers/families, can't imagine how hard this is to deal with.  We all need to be thankful for every day the Lord gives us & our loved ones. In Christ the Lord, who saves us from our despair.

May our Heavenly Father wrap his loving arms around you and bring you strength and peace at this most difficult time.  Thinking of you and keeping all of you in our prayers.

Beautiful tribute from a beautiful family. Grace will find a way to cradle you through this tragedy because I know your faith has found a resting place on The Rock.  Much love ??
