Paul Dewite Mead

Paul was a devoted father, grandfather, great-grandfather, Navy veteran, and longtime airline mechanic. Throughout his life, he was known for his dedication, strength, and love for his family. His years of service in the United States Navy and his career as an airline mechanic were a testament to his hard work, commitment, and determination.

Paul found great joy in the simple things in life, especially spending time with his family and cheering on his beloved Tampa Bay Rays. Baseball was more than a pastime for Paul—it was something he enjoyed and shared with those around him.

Paul was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Gloria, and his son, Paul.

He is survived by his children David (Mary), Kenneth (Diana), Christina (Darin); his grandchildren, Andrew, Marc, Matthew, Nicholas, Tyler, Ashley, and Alexander and his great-grandchildren, Asa and Torren his cherished friend, Fran, whose love and companionship brought comfort and joy to his life.

Paul leaves behind a legacy that will continue through the generations of family he loved so dearly. His stories, his strength, his laughter, and the memories he created will remain in the hearts of his family forever.

Though he may no longer be with us, the impact he made on the lives of those who loved him will never fade.

Rest peacefully, Paul. You will be deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.
