I spent many holidays, birthdays and other special occasions with Paul. He always made me laugh and I truly enjoyed my time with him. He will be missed by our family. RIP Pablo

I always loved spending time at my Aunt and Uncles house in Coalinga. My Uncle Paul always knew how to make the whole family laugh, and the memories I have of him are ones I will never forget. My favorite thing about my Uncle Paul was the face he would make after he told us a joke. He would smile with such a goofy look on his face just waiting for us to all laugh at what he said. Just thinking about that makes me so happy and thankful to have known someone as amazing as he was. 
Aunt Mary, Cady, and Trevor, I love you all so much.

Mary, my heart goes out to you and your family.  Braz was such a good man, and I was honored not only  to have worked for him but have him as a  friend.  I will always remember his laugh, love for his family and friends, and the smile on his face ever time you walked into his office.   He will truly be missed.  God bless you and your family.

When I got to PVSP in1994 as a rookie cop, I was lucky enough to become friends with Paul. We played fantasy football together and hung out at softball tournaments. There is a huge void without him around. He was a great supervisor who had your back. Always fair, always caring, always supportive. As a friend he was funny, sarcastic, competitive...he will be missed! PB, Braz, Pauly Wog...RIP BROTHER! We will meet again someday on a baseball field, who knows where, who knows when! ❤

Mary and family,

We had so many good times with you and Paul.  Softball, baseball, wrestling, bbq's and parties. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and always.  I pray in time your pain will ease and you will find peace in the loving memories.

Paul, here it is almost a month and it only seems like yesterday.  I hope that Venus, Teresa, and Ryan are doing ok.  I know you are watching over Mary and keeping her safe because you love her so much.  We were talking about the times that you would step up and let me in the house because I knew I was going to be in trouble at my House especially when I put the truck on the Fire Hydrant at the Old Save Mart Store.  I do have to tell you it is strange to go to the house and know that you won't be walking into the house anytime soon but I do know that you are looking down at all of us and making sure that we are all safe.  Everyone misses you so much.

We love Paul and the Brazelton Family. We have many FOOTBALL, NASCAR, and BACK YARD memories to keep us smiling and laughing.  Paul will be missed and will remain in our hearts. Love you Mary, Trevor, Cady.

Gone too soon.  We are so sorry we could not be there for Mary, Cady, and Trevor through this terrible time.   Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers as Paul will always be as well.

The services for Paul were well done.  Obviously he was well liked and respected - wow what a crowd!  
     My daughter Tracy and I attended Friday's service.  I am his uncle Norm Brazelton, one of Lynn's older brothers.  My last visit with Paul was when he and Cady won the horseshoe tournament at Moose Camp in 2007.

Being a childhood friend of Cady, there was never a time in which I was around Paul that I was not laughing. Paul encouraged all of us kids to be the best that we could be at whatever we did. He was uplifting. He was supportive. He never let any of us frown. His love for his kids and his wife shined on his face and in his hearts at all times to those who knew him. I am lucky to have known him. I am lucky to have a friend who was raised by him. I love you, Cady and the rest of the Braz fam.

Sorry for your loss Mary, know that he's in a better place.

R,I,P, Paul,Thank you for your service,prayers always.    Patricia Hall

So sorry to hear about Paul. A fine man and always fun to be around you guys. Jill and I will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Paul was always such a nice guy. A very fair and honest man who was always laughing about something. He will be greatly missed by many. RIP brother!!

Paul was my Sergeant in Calipatria on C Yard.  I learned a lot as a new Officer in the Department and I washed a lot of pots and pans for Paul & Sgt. Higgenbothem durning our many "Total Lockdowns".  May God comfort The Brazelton Family and all of us who will greatly miss Our Friend Paul.  ❤

West Hills College Softball game just won't be the same without Paul standing behind the the homeplate bleachers keeping a close eye on how the girls are playing!!  But I know he will still be watching us from above.   My deepest condolences to Mary, Trevor and Cady.  What a great man!!

rest in peace brother.  worked with him at pvsp

Way too many memories to mention. But every last one of them are special! I have known Paul and Mary for years since the kids were very small. I was looking for a pic I had taken of Braz down in Ensenada where he was putting on one of those Mexican wrestling masks and his big meat head couldn't get it on all the way. Man I wished I could find that pic. One of the last times I spent with Paul was when Cady, Paul and I went a Giants night game and we talked about many old memories along the way. I will miss u deeply my friend as you truly were a very good friend!

Braz was a good friend and I enjoyed having him as my boss a few time at PVSP. My prayers go to the family he was taken too soon but he will always be in our hearts

Though I hadn't seen Paul in years, was reunited with him via facebook. Have nothing but fond memories of working with him at DVI so many years ago. I will  always remember his friendly and happy demeanor.
Was saddened to learn of his passing.
Rest In Peace "Braz".

Mary, Trevor & Cady,

My condolences to you all. Heaven gained another Angel. It was a pleasure to have worked with Paul. He sure loved his family. Keeping you all in my thoughts & prayers

I worked with Paul for the State.  He was a true professional, dedicated to the public safety,  and will be missed.  My condolences  to the family.

 Paul was a great person to be around whether it was at PVSP or in his personal time..  He may be gone but he will not be forgotten. Condolences to his family and  RIP my friend.

I will always remember how supportive and dedicated he was to any and all activities that his children were a part of his memory and legacy will never be forgotten. Love and prayers to all the family.

So sorry to hear about Paul. I am his cousin and we were very close during my college years in Sacramento. He will be missed.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
