Seems like it was just a day ago we lost you. Love you Paul !!!

It's been a year now but it still seems like it was just yesterday .Paul you are missed each and every day and I know you are having a great time in heaven  !!!Love you Paul 

I am so very saddened to learn of Paul's passing; I had no idea.  Paul and I were friends and spent time together from 2007-2011.  Paul loved his boys so much and beamed when he spoke of them.  He also loved football and baseball!  We spent many times together watching games on tv.  We also enjoyed going to dinner together; his favorite place to go was Razoos!  He loved the rat toes!  Paul made me laugh a lot with his quick wit.  He was fun to be around and cared a lot about the people in his life.  I know he is missed by many.  May his family find comfort in the memories they all shared.  Rest peacefully, Paul.  xoxo

I knew Paul through my brother, Corey, and his running buddies, Doug Williams and Paul Thiessen.   Although a couple years younger than me, these guys were always making time and trouble together, and I would occasionally tag along.  Dragon Football was our common denominator and I can say Owen was one of the most committed and hardworking hogs I had the chance to get to know.  I always remember his smiley face that also had a look of underlying “troublemaker” to it.   He was never one to shy away from a cold beer with friends and  sharing laughter with those around him.  He genuinely enjoyed life with a heart of gold — loyal and genuine through and through.  Pouring out a cold beer for you, my friend.  Rest easy in your Father’s arms, brother.  Much love and prayers to you, Kyle and Tanner — be proud of who he was and continue to carry his spirit with you.  


To Kyle and Tanner. 
Your dad was just an amazing guy. Funny. A pain in the butt because he would tease me. But he would absolutely be the first to protect me and stand up for me. He was the best friend of my high school sweetheart Doug Williams. When I went to college and Doug to the marines, Paul went to college with me our first year. I can absolutely believe that he was the best dad and loved you to the end of the earth. I loved him. I was annoyed by him. But I appreciated his amazing loving heart. 
Paul,  rest in the arms of heaven my sweet boy!!

I don’t know where to start? Paul and I became friends through work before Sunstate.  Once he came to work with the Sunstate family, we got closer through the years. I always knew that I could go to Paul for anything. We made a lot of fantastic memories over the 20 years we knew each other. You will be truly missed my friend! Till we meet again!!!

Paul and I worked together for many years at Sunstate. He helped out wherever and whenever he could in many different roles over the years.  Paul was someone I always called to get things done or when I needed help.   I didn’t have to say much and somehow Paul knew how to fix things. He wouldn’t explain how he would, he would simply say “I’ll take care of it” and he did!  I respected Paul and I believe he respected me.  He let me know I could call him directly if I needed anything so I usually bypassed the counter and called him on his cell phone!  He may have regretted those words. :)
Paul was a gentle giant with a sweet smile and a big heart.  I miss you Paul.  I’m sorry I never got a chance to tell you how much I cared and thought of you.  Love you Big Guy!  Soar with the Eagles!  - God bless you.  My condolences to you family and loved ones.   

I met Paul as a freshman in high school. We participated in the same sports all 4 years. He was a great friend and great teammate.  Had a lot of good laughs with him...some great memories.  I remember going with him and his mother to the Texas DPS office for his behind the wheel driving test when he turned 16.  He failed. lol.  He's was the only person I ever knew to fail the driving test.   He was pretty bummed. His mom was in total disbelief.  But he had a great attitude about it, and we laughed about it...a lot!!!   He did return and passed it eventually...and we laughed even more.    He always tried to do his best. If he didn't succeed the first time, he'd do it until it was spot on!! 

I wish we'd stayed in touch since those days at Round Rock High. Thank you, Paul.  Thanks for being such a great memory during one of the best times in my life. 

I’ve known Paul since early high school.I love him like a brother and even though we do not talk on a daily basis when we get together it’s always like we never have been a part. His love for his sons is very evident and how he participated in everything they were involved in. There’s nobody more than I trust in this world and know that he always had my back.Paul is an outstanding man. He will be missed by so many. Love you brother miss you Godspeed.

Paul and I became good friends in junior high-I think when he first moved to the neighborhood that fed into our school. It was a lifetime ago, until something like this happens. Then all of the memories are there in front of you. Memories of a different time and place. Girls. Cars. Music. He was a drummer. I was a bass player. Maybe that’s why we got each other. Our lives were uncertain. Everything was unexpected. We lost touch after high school. It’s good to see the memories here of others to help fill in the gaps. I’m sorry I didn’t say this sooner - I miss you, Paul. 

Paul, what a great man.  Met Paul through Sunstate in 2013 had the pleasure of him dispatching and working with me as he came to help our market.  What I enjoyed most was his no bull and he was a black and white kinda guy.  He will be missed, he’s got big shoes to fill.  God bless and prayers for all his friends and family.  

This has crushed me I grew up with everyone here from Sunstate. Some of these guys were my best friends when I was 6 years old but Paul was like another father to me. Always had cool stuff and snacks and funny stories. I was so proud I made it full circle to actually work for him at one point.. I’m devastated this has happened but no matter what happens he’s still family and sunstate will forever be a family.

We were so sorry to hear for the loss of Paul.  Through Sunstate so many friendships were created including this one. He was someone to listen and talk to when you had something on your mind.  He was taken too quickly from this world but his memory will not be forgotten.

Paul was a solid person and loyal friend.  I unfortunately have not stayed in touch with him.  My favorite memories of him are going to Port Aransas on 4th of July back in 1989 - 90.   Most Importantly playing Dragon Football and Camp Fun in high school.  I cherish those memories and miss his friendship.  I love you and miss you Paul!!!  I will see you brother!

I first met Paul back in 2009 when he hired me at Sunstate.  He wasn't only my manager but also a great mentor, co worker and a great friend.  I will forever cherish the memories of him joining my wife and I to hang out, or when he would come over to watch boxing fights.  He was always ready to lend a helping  hand. You will forever be missed my friend.  Prayers for the Owen Family.  May You Rest In Peace. 

I knew Paul first as a manager and boss, then shortly afterwards as a friend. We quickly learned that we had crossed paths in high school and knew a few of the same people.
Paul and I had some late nights at Sunstate making sure that all the days activities had been completed and we were ready for the coming day.
I will miss our conversations about high school and college football, his boys, and just joking around about our busy days and taking jabs at each other the way friends do. Rest in peace.

Paul was like a Dad to me .I will never forget everything he did to help me out in life .He really cared about everyone .I always called him 
A giant teddy bear even though you had to really know him to get to see that part of him .He will forever be missed !I know Paul  will be rooting for the aggies from up in Heaven .Love you Paul !

So sad to hear this! I have worked with Paul since 2003, made many phone calls about what do I do here, or how do I do this. He was always willing to help. You will definitely be missed by many! Rest in Peace my Friend and prayers for the family.

I am still in shock after hearing this devastating news.
Paul was such an awesome person, boss, co-worker and most of all father.  The world lost a great one.. RIP Paul.. Thanks for the memories, I will cherish them forever.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Paul on many occasions. He was always interested in whatever was going on in his or any other branch. Paul was cooperative and great to work with. I stopped by the branch in December and got to visit with Paul. All who knew him will miss him greatly. Rest In Pease My Friend!

Paul was a leader, co worker and most of all a friend . I am very blessed to have known him over the last 14 years. Paul always made time for his friends and family and knew what was most important .  We had so much fun working with him and can reflect on so many days where Paul made me smile even in high stress situations. 

I will truly miss him. 

So incredibly sad to hear the news.  Paul was such a big personality and had a tremendous impact on so many.  I, like so many did not have many conversations with him without learning more about his boys.  Irreplaceable.  Smart.  Talented.  Witty.  Engaging.  Interested.
Aggie nation has lost a good one.  RIP partner.

I HAVE WORKED WITH PAUL FOR THE LAST 12 YEARS AT SUNSTATE,  I AM SHOCKED AT THE LOSS  OF A CO WORKER, MANAGER, MENTOR AND FRIEND, REST IN PEACE AND PRAYERS FOR YOUR FAMILY,  YOU WILL BE GREATLY MISSED MY FRIEND

Paul & I have known each other & worked together for over 10years @ Sunstate, even though  in different cities you were always someone that I looked to for advice & guidance. You will be truly missed my friend, I pray for your family and may you rest in peace.

I have had the pleasure of being  your friend and sidekick for last 6 years. I have relied on you for advise, work related and personal and you've always  kept me grounded an humble. You will be deeply missed by my myself and many others. Thank you for the memories and everything along the way.  Rest in piece brother.

I’m at a loss. When I received the news, shock is what I felt. Paul was a man that I was proud to call my friend. Funny, Jovial, Steady and Firm when he needed to be.  WOW! I’ll miss you Paul. Even after we stopped working together the friendships continued. The laughs we had. All of us will miss that.  You were more than just a work associate, you were a Brother to us all. Boy we had few moments like families do but we always had each other’s back. Rest easy my friend. You will always be remembered fondly by the Wallace family. Prayers of comfort for your family today and always. 

I  had the pleasure of working with Paul at Sunstate for several years. He was always the person I knew I could call for help if needed, and I believe he felt the same.  He will truly be missed!  Rest in Peace my friend, and my thoughts & prayers are with your family. 
Dawna 

Seeing you talk to  talk to your kids over  the phone and telling them how much you love them, will always remind me what a loving father you are. Rest in peace my friend.

Paul will be truly missed. I worked with Paul for 3 years at Sunstate Equipment and he had the biggest heart. We all miss you Paul and your family is in our thoughts and prayers. I will miss talking with about sports especially the Cowboys. May you rest in peace my friend.
