Paul and I were friends in high school. After School I joined the Army however, Paul and I stayed in touch through Social Media. As time went on we had lost touch and I am now just finding out about his passing. I am very fortunate to have known Paul and have never stopped being your friend. 

I will always miss Paul. I had a crush on him from the 5th grade but only became close friends with him in high school. We were in a band together for a short while and went to prom together. Every moment spent with Paul shines brightly in my mind, swimming, hanging out at his house, and mostly the deep random conversations we would get into almost every night. I will miss him so much, as an atheist I know I will never see him again, but I will carry him in my heart until I die.

I had the great pleasure of being friends with Paul through our school years. We always thought we knew everything & wanted to hang out with our older brothers cause we thoughy they were the "cool ones!"  lol....memories I will never forget! Sending prayers and love to Duane & the reat of the family!    R.I.P Paul. Ill be seeing you soon!

I had the honor of having Paul as a friend my senior year of highschool. I am very sorry for your loss. Paul was a wonderful person and a great friend. He is now watching over us.

I knew Paul since Elementary School. Memories of Prom, get togethers with friends, chatting online, and just laughing at nothing at all keep a special place in my heart. He is deeply missed.

I knew Paul since elementary school. Memories of prom, get togethers with friends, and just laughing about random nonsense were priceless. I will always picture his big smile as I carry those memories with me forever.

I was Duane's third grade teacher at Gertrude Walker in Garden City but did not have the pleasure of having Paul in my class. My condolences go to your family.

My condolences to the Riley family. Paul was a great guy and a friend to all of us. Although he isn't among us physically I know he is watching over us.

I had the honor and pleasure of having Paul as a student in my class for two years. I would like to say he was one of the best students that I have ever had. To say that the young man was unique would be an understatement. He was always respectful and courteous toward me and he could be very stimulating to say the least! I remember the last time I talked to him was at Walgreens and he could talk about anything and we had some good laughs!! My thoughts and prayers to his family because he will be truly missed by all of those that he came into contact with. 
Sincerely
Barry Knight
Heritage High School
