Paul was born February 23rd 1959 to Don and Marjorye (Creighton) Weddle in Wichita, KS. He graduated from Pittsburg State University with a Bachelor of Science in Wood Technology. On May 21st 1983, he married Penny Banks. Paul spent his career in the engineering field, working at Textron Aviation for 29 years.

The ultimate family man, Paul most enjoyed spending time with his children and loving wife. His total dedication to family shaped the minds of his eight wonderful children and touched the lives of everyone he met. Serving God and caring for others filled his life with joy. Always busy, he coached sport teams, mentored robotics students, and hosted weekly Sunday Chinese lunches, all while never missing a game or birthday. Somehow he found time to build his family home and barn with the help of dear friends and family as well. He will be remembered as a selfless, supportive Christian that always made room in his heart for a new friend. Paul lived to serve his family and his Lord and savior Jesus Christ. He is now at rest at his true home in heaven.
