Good day, I come to you today with the tragic passing of my son, Paul Laurel Jr. On Saturday, at 4:20pm, Paul was involved in a head-on collision on Pacheco Pass that took his life far too soon. Our family is devastated by this sudden loss, and we are struggling to come to terms with the reality of life without him. Paul was compassionate, selfless, big-hearted, optimistic, strong, hard-working, and considerate. He spent most of his time at work and with friends, but always made sure to be there for his family. He loved long hikes, working on cars, and was excited about starting his dispensary business soon. Paul had dreams and ambitions, and he touched the lives of everyone who knew him with his kindness and generosity.

We are reaching out to our community for support as we try to honor Paul’s memory and give him the farewell he deserves. The funds raised will go directly toward his funeral services and help our family with the unexpected expenses that come with such a heartbreaking loss. Anything and everything is welcomed and appreciated. We love you all as did Paul. Please help lay him to rest. May God bless his soul and yours. Thank you and God bless.
