Paul Cillis

Paul graduated from Mountain High School in New Jersey and studied Computer Science at Montclair State College in NJ.

Paul worked as a consultant in computer technology, as well as a program and project manager for CA Technologies, Pilot Travel Centers, Teledoc and many other prominent companies.

He married Ronete Da Silva on may 3, 1998 in West Orange, New Jersey and were then blessed with their son Samuel. They then relocated to Arizona in 2001. In August of 2003 their darling baby girl Melanie was born.

Paul had many passions, family and friends, working out at the gym, fast sport cars, the beach and many others. Most of all his wife and children were always his priority, they were everything to him and he showed that by being a loving husband, father and giving them a beautiful life and home.

Oh, and let’s not forget his dogs, they were always part of his biggest joys in his life, especially Buddy, who still waits at home for him.

Paul was a compassionate advocate for his peers, always taking the time to offer support and check in on those around him, he had no fear just passion. He was a great mentor and friend. He always knew how to keep everyone on track and motivated so that the “work got done”. Quote from a colleagues “even if he had to do it his damn self”.

Paul was a patriot who loved his country, friends and family and the simple things in life, like working out at the gym, watching baseball, football, and pro wrestling. He was an avid Yankee’s fan; loved horseback riding, the ocean, sports cars, western and action movies, especially anything with Stallone and Schwarzenegger. He definitely liked to listen to oldies like Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, even singing karaoke. He loved older comedians like Rodney Dangerfield, lately he was repeating his jokes.

Paul loved his family and friends and definitely loved the American dream!

Paul is survived by his loving wife, Ronete; his son, Samuel; daughter, Melanie; his sister Joann, brother in law Ken, nieces Katelyn and Ashely and nephews Christopher and Brian
