On Thursday, January 16th, 2025, the Lord called home Paul Gauna Jr., a beloved father, friend, and pillar of his community. For anyone who had the privilege of knowing Paul, they knew what it truly meant to have a friend. His unwavering compassion, sincere heart, and that bigger-than-life smile were just a few of the many qualities that made him unforgettable. Paul’s kindness and generosity left a lasting impact on all who crossed his path, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who loved him.

Paul was not only an amazing friend, union brother, coach, but a dedicated father to his children. In the wake of his sudden passing, they are left to navigate this incredibly difficult journey without the physical presence of their father, though his love and lessons will remain in their hearts forever.

We are reaching out to ask for your support to help Paul’s children, Kaya and Zion, during this challenging time. Your contributions will provide much-needed assistance with their emotional well-being, schooling, therapy, and day-to-day needs as they begin to process this loss and adjust to a new chapter in their lives. Our goal is to ease their burdens and offer them the stability, love, and care they deserve in the wake of his passing.

Paul was the type of person who would have done anything to support those he cared about, and now it’s our turn to rally together to support his children. Every donation, no matter how large or small, will make a meaningful impact in their lives and help preserve Paul’s legacy of love, kindness, and friendship.

Please join us in celebrating Paul's life and helping his children. Your generosity is deeply appreciated during this difficult time.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.

Chad and Cara McGray
