What A Guy!

The heavenly angels came to take our husband, father, grandfather and friend from his pain on this earth on May 20, 2003 at home. He was surrounded by loving family and his ever-faithful companion, his black poodle, Shadow. His passing was due to complications of congestive heart failure.

He was born on February 4, 1937 to Tessie Anderson and Paul Severn Wright in a small log-cabin on the east side of Ephraim, Utah. He was the oldest of nine children: brother Richard and sisters Barbara, Carol, Dorothy, Norma, Linda, Dixie and Kathi. Married Mary June Brewer August 5, 1961 in Elko, NV. This union brought eight children: Shaundra, Chad, Michelle, Leslie, Brett, Terry Dee, Tammy and Brenda. The angels came for Tammy and Terry Dee early -and now they are happily reunited with their father. Blessed with extended families, the Simons and the Johnstons; 21 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren.

He worked in the swimming pool industry for 44 years and was a master at his trade and liked by all. Paul enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing, traveling to Europe, Jamaica, the Caribbean, Hawaii; and RV-ing to see friends and family.

Please join us in the joyous celebration of Paul Dee's life. A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, May 29th at 11:00 a.m. at Redwood Memorial Mortuary, 6500 South Redwood Rd., West Jordan, where friends may call on Wednesday from 6:00 until 7:00 p.m. and one hour prior to the service. Interment to follow the service at Redwood Memorial

Cemetery.

The family wishes to express gratitude to Dr. Jon Hubbard of IHC and staff. Also our deepest thanks to Chris Bell and her staff from Southern Utah Hospice for their wonderful love and compassion. We also dearly appreciate all of Paul's many, many friends for all of their love.
