Garold Paul Obituary

Dr. Garold (Gary) Paul, 60, of Colorado Springs died November 27, in a fatal car accident outside of Gillette, Wyoming. He is survived by his wife, Sherrie (Sharon); daughters, Wendy Tavenner and Vicky Watt; parents, George and Eunice Paul; sister, Connie Quinn; and brothers, Bill and Kip Paul. We remember Gary as a beloved husband, son, father, physician, and man of God. His dedication to Sherrie was unmatched; their marriage marked by the intimacy of a deep understanding and loving care for one another. He showed steadfast care, love, and honor to his parents. His daughters relied on his strength and wisdom to guide them through numerous challenges in life; his model of fatherly love ultimately shaped their own marriage relationships to Christian men of faith. As a physician, Gary was a model of integrity and thoroughness. After retiring as a Colonel in the U.S. Army in 1993, he continued to serve at Evans Army Community Hospital for another twelve years. His patients, support staff, and fellow medical professionals will surely feel the impact of his dedication, and his absence, for years to come. Yet it is Gary's relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ that defined who he was, and is today. A servant of Christian love, Gary was instrumental in bringing news of God's hope and light to countless people, not only through his continual service to his church, but also through such personal ministries as Prison Fellowship, small group fellowship in his home, support to worship teams, and the little silver crosses which he compassionately passed out to innumerable friends, patients, and acquaintances. As surely as the Lord lives, Gary has been gathered up into His Savior's everlasting presence. His relationship with Jesus formed the basis of Gary's loving dedication to his family, friends, colleagues, and patients. We miss him terribly, and carry with us the hope of eternal salvation, that we will all meet together once again in heavenly splendor. Memorials may be made out to Holy Cross Lutheran Church. Services will be held at 3:00, Monday, at Holy Cross (4125 Constitution Ave), and at 11:30, Wednesday, at the Evans Army Community Hospital Chapel.

Uncle George and Aunt Eunice,



Know that my prayers and thoughts are with you. I know that there is no greater bond than that between a parent and their child.



I also extend my prayers to Gary's siblings and his wife and daughters.

It is with great sadness that such a wonderful man and doctor has left us so unexpectedly. Dr. Paul took exceptional care of my mother who recently passed on in September and was keeping a watchful eye on my father after mom's passing. Dr. Paul was a very caring, concerned, professional who will be greatly missed. God Bless all of his family and be assured that "the good doctor" is at rest in the hands of our Lord. Our prayers are with you.

Our thoughts and prayers go with Dr Pauls Family. My Wife and I were both patients for some time of Dr Paul. Both our health care needs required someone of knowledge and trust. We benefited in both from this fine Doctor. We will miss the Doctor and his care. God Bless him and all the Family. Russell and Leatrice Thompson

Dear Sherrie,



I was so sorry to hear about Gary's untimely death. He was such a blessing to me during my years at Ft. Carson. He was a friend, mentor and inspiration. His dedication to his patients and the hospital, his warmth and sense of humor, and his love for the Lord were evident in all he did. I am comforted by the knowledge that I'll see him again in heaven. Sue and I will be praying for you and your family.



Yours in Christ,

God gave a gift when he gave you to your family and to your patients Dr.Paul. I remember the first time I met you I was waiting to see you and praying all the time."Lord please I need a caring physician ". When this tall man with a friendly smile walked in and introduced himself as Dr. Paul I immediatly knew my prayer had been answered. Your compassion touched many people. Thank you Mrs. Paul for sharing this good man with us. You and your children are in our prayers we know that because God lives we can face tomorrow.

Dr. Paul was my colleague, my friend and served as my mentor at Evans U.S. Army Hospital. Our last conversation prior to his leave involved his love for his wife's macaroon cookies which he brought to work to share with everyone -- that was just the kind of man he was. Dr. Paul you will be missed.

Many doctors have come and gone in my life as a respiratory therapist and very few make an impact on my life. Dr. Paul was one of those that DID make an impact and I will never forget him. Thank you for letting our paths cross.

May God Bless your family and keep them safe.

Our deepest condolences go to Dr. Paul's family. Dr. Paul was my husband physician for a couple of years. An excellent physician, one of the best doctors my husband ever had. We were shocked to hear of his death. To find some comfort or reasoning for this loss is as someone wrote earlier -

God must have needed him.



He will be missed.
