With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of our son, and brother, Paul, at the age of 53, at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, Alberta, on April 17th.
Predeceased by his mother Dianne Arens, Paul will always be remembered with love by his father, Norm (Janey), his brother Guy (Joy) their children, Dominique and Danielle, his sister, Julie (Glenn) and their children Cole and Mya. He also leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
Paul had this exceptional ability to take things apart and put them back together. He had a big heart, and was always to the first to lend a helping hand. His impish grin and big dimples will forever be remembered. He was a boy at heart and children just gravitated toward him all the time. He was loyal and had many life long friends who, no doubt, have a story to tell about the shenanigans they got up to with him over the years.
There is no funeral or visitation, however a Celebration of his Life will be held at a later date, where we can share some "Paul" stories.
We would like to thank the Foothills Medical Centre ICU for their care and compassion while Paul was in their care. We would also like to thank Hillside Funeral Services, North Bay, for their assistance with arrangements in Alberta.
They made a truly difficult time so much easier, and their professionalism, empathy and support is greatly appreciated.
