Paul Wilson

Paul Allen Wilson, 44, of Auburn, Georgia, is remembered by family and friends as a devoted husband and a steady presence in his community. Known to those closest to him simply as Paul, he worked as a cook and found comfort in the rhythms of home life and the companionship of his dogs.

Paul’s daily routines and his devotion to family reflected a life built around practical care and quiet loyalty. He enjoyed small, dependable pleasures—coming home from work, sharing time with his wife, and taking the family dogs for their nightly walks. Those who knew him recall a man who took responsibility for the people and animals in his life and who valued simple acts of kindness.

His sudden death on July 2, 2017, left a deep hole in the lives of those who loved him. Family members and neighbors spoke of the warmth Paul brought to his household and the steadiness of his presence. In the days after his passing, friends and community members gathered to remember his life and to support his wife during a time of profound loss.

Paul’s family arranged funeral services through Flanigan Funeral Home & Crematory in Buford, Georgia. Those who wish to honor his memory remember him not for the manner of his death but for the everyday ways he cared for others—through work, companionship, and family devotion. His life is honored by those who loved him, and his memory endures in the small, meaningful routines that once made up his days.
