Paul Mathewson Obituary
Paul was born May 21, 1941 in Los Angeles, CA.
After high school, he joined the army and had tours in Germany and Vietnam where he was wounded and awarded the Purple Heart and Silver Star.
He then attended CC, earning a BA, and DU, earning a Master's Degree. After working in prison reform, he began an active career acting and directing in many local theater productions. Although the roles he played are too numerous to mention, some of his favorite roles were King Lear, Long John Silver and King Henry II. During this period he also volunteered to mentor many high school actors.
He is survived by his wife, Sally; two daughters, Stephanie Brunson of Colorado Springs, and Heather (Daniel) Swanson of Longmont, CO; a son, Duncan (Mariana) Ewell, of Rio de Janero, Brazil; five grandchildren, Ryan, Cassidy, Morgan, Erik, Andrew; and a brother, Mark.
There will be a private burial at Ft. Logan National Cemetery. There will be an open house to celebrate Paul on Saturday, January 9th from 1:30-3:30 at 605 Southern Cross Drive, Colorado Springs.

I've never had the privilege of meeting Paul, but I do know his daughter. I am lucky enough to have been taught by her and to call her my friend. As wonderful of a person she is, makes be wish I could've met Paul. From what I have heard he was a beautiful soul who blessed every person he met with his kindness, sense of humor and talent. Just like his daughter and grand daughters. How lucky heaven is to have gained such a man. And how lucky are the rest of you who have his children and grandchildren as part of their family, to brown up their lives, just as Paul did in his. God speed and rest peacefully.
