Paul was born in Thomaston, Georgia in 1971, and migrated to Ridgeland, Mississippi in the mid-1990s, eventually making his way to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. He attended Mercer University and Belhaven College where he studied business administration. He was a lifelong entrepreneur, owning and operating a restaurant, Paul’s Place, in Thomaston, GA, and a bakery and airline catering service, Three Sisters and a Mixer, in Flowood, MS. He was also the general manager of Doe’s Eat Place in Biloxi, MS, and was licensed in securities and insurance for many years. As a young man, Paul considered following his father in the ministry.

Everyone loved Paul. He always had a smile and a laugh. He made others feel special and included. He was a friend to all. An avid Georgia Bulldog and Atlanta Braves’ fan, Paul could converse at length about all things related to sports. He will be greatly missed, and his family is confident of his eternal home.

Visitation will be Sunday, February 20, 2022, from 1:30 to 3:00 at Parkway Funeral Home in Ridgeland, Mississippi, with services immediately following at the funeral home’s chapel. The Rev. Andy Stoddard will preside at the service.
