A lifelong resident of Fall River, he was the son of Paul E. Rioux and the late Linda (Wasilowski) Rioux.
A graduate of Tiverton High School, Class of 1990, Paul worked as a furniture maker and refinisher for 30 years, most recently at Boston Interiors Home Furnishings. A great cook, he loved to feed the people around him. He also enjoyed spending time in the outdoors and was a lover of dogs.
Besides his devoted father, Paul is survived by one brother, Jason Rioux and his wife Kari and one nephew, Xavier all of Somerset.
His Memorial Service will be held and announced at a later date. Contributions in his honor may be made to your local animal shelter.
