PAUL J. CLEVELAND, JR.
COLUMBIA–Paul Cleveland,
54, of Colebrook, died on Saturday, July 30, 2016, at his residence following a brave battle
with cancer.
Paul was happily married to
his loving wife, Sharon, for 33
years. They built their lives and
family around serving God and
helping others. His departure
will briefly separate him from his
wife, Sharon; son and daughterin-law, Matthew and Amy Cleveland, and granddaughter Abigail;
and
daughter
and
son-in-law, Jillian and Daniel
Warner, and grandsons Noah,
Isaiah, and Eli.
Paul was born on June 27,
1962, and is survived by his
parents, Barbara and Edward
Gioiosa; sister and brother-inlaw, Farolyn and Kenneth Clapper; brother, Shawn Cleveland;
and brother and sister-in-law
Philip and Jennifer LaRossa.
Originally from Tewksbury,
Mass., Paul married his high
school sweetheart and built their
home and trucking business in
the beautiful mountains of northern N.H. He enjoyed carpentry,
woodworking, boating, motorcycling, skiing, golfing, and spending time with his grandchildren.
Paul will be remembered for
many wonderful things but
wishes to be remembered as a
faithful friend to all and a man
who loved people and God. Paul
will be regarded as much more
than just a truck driver, a woodworker, and an all-around fun
guy; he is someone who fought
the good fight, finished his race,
and kept the faith.
There will be no public calling
hours. A private service will be
held with friends and family at a
later date. In lieu of flowers,
donations can be made to the
East Auburn Baptist Church
Deacons’ Funds, 560 Park Avenue, Auburn, ME 04210.
