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.
