Paul Denton Vanaman

Paul D. Vanaman passed away on Christmas Day 2022 of heart failure. Paul age 40, leaves behind a loving family and great friends. His passing creates a great void in the lives of all who were honored to have Paul in their lives. His caring, friendly demeanor was always noticed on his life’s journey.

Paul’s professional life was as a Manager at Collision Service of Green, working beside his trusted mentor and friend Ken Whitacre. Since his passing, stories of Paul’s life from childhood until now have been shared. The stories certainly paint the picture of a man who loved and cared deeply for his friends and family, and who also had a mischievous spirit and varied interests. The memories that are so painful today will one day hopefully cause a smile of remembrance to those close to Paul. He loved you all!

There is no question that Paul’s greatest privilege was to be the dad to his cherished daughters, Clara and Norah. His deep love for them was undeniable. He is also survived by his beloved parents, mother Amy Petron (Randy) and his father Ed Vanaman (Becky). Paul’s sudden passing also leaves a void for his brothers who survived him, Mark and Michael.

Paul loved his grandparents deeply, Roger and Jackie Vanaman and Denton and Delores Rice, who preceded him to heaven.

Our family wants to thank everyone for the outpouring of support during this most difficult time. A private service has already been held in Paul’s memory.
