Remembering Paul

A life held close in memory

Paul Devaried Terry Jr. (June 18, 2004 – October 11, 2024) brought light and presence to the lives of family and friends in Birmingham. A son who meant the world to his loved ones, Paul is remembered for the small, steady ways he connected — showing up for family, sharing laughter, and carrying a quiet strength in everyday moments.

Born June 18, 2004, Paul spent his life surrounded by people who cared for him deeply. Those who knew him describe a young man whose company was comforting and whose presence — whether at home or around his community — left a lasting impression. He lived in Birmingham at the time of his death and maintained ties to Ozark, where his driver's license was issued.

Paul’s family honored his memory with services held at Word of Faith and a visitation at Eastside Funeral Home, offering friends and relatives an opportunity to gather, share memories, and celebrate his life. In the days following his passing, many sent condolences and flowers, a reflection of the connections he had formed and the affection people felt for him.

While the loss is profound, those who loved Paul hold tight to the warmth he gave and the simple, irreplaceable moments he created with others. He will be remembered for the love he inspired in family gatherings, the familiar presence he offered friends, and the quiet dignity with which he lived his years. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him.
