My name is Sean Goldman. My closest friend, Paul Bloom, passed away, and I’m setting up this fundraiser to raise money for his funeral expenses.

He passed suddenly, and the family is in great need of support through this incredibly difficult time. We plan to bring Paul home to Los Angeles from Pennsylvania so he can rest peacefully.

Paul was one of the funniest, most generous people I’ve ever met. He was always trying to take care of everyone else. Never himself. He was ridiculously comedic, boisterous, dark and passionate about everything in his life.

His wit was very unique and he never had any filter. Sometimes I laughed out loud at his jokes and other times I had my head in my hands trying to figure out how something like that could ever come out anyone’s mouth.

The last couple of years of his life, he had some health scares that seemed to have put things into perspective for him. I saw him making changes that were helping him and it felt like he was moving in the right direction when it came to just about everything.

Unfortunately, he kept getting hit with health issues that dragged him down.

He was not able to come back from this most recent obstacle.

His closest friends and family are hoping this fund will give Paul the peaceful homecoming and rest he deserves.

This fund goes DIRECTLY to Jared Bloom, Paul’s only son.
