ShaunPaul known to most as “SP” was a funny, joking gentleman with a smile that would light up a room. SP loved his family, and was there for friends if and when they needed him. Not feeling good SP still would go and do independently as much as he could. SP was a fighter!!!
He loved to watch UFC fights, watching westerns, gardening, walking the pups and relaxing with family. When the grandbabies came into his life there a special joy & love that no one could come between. SP loved his Devynn & Oliviana and they surely loved their OPA!!! SP had a new lease on life with his granddaughters.
SP was a faithful member and sang in the choir at Jacobs Methodist Church until his health declined more. SP went to heaven on December 2, 2020 at home in the loving care of his wife and stepsons.
