Stephen Michael Paul, Jr.

Stephen Michael Paul, Jr., 47, was embraced by the arms of Jesus as he entered heaven on January 9, 2024, in Jackson, Mississippi. Born on April 29, 1976, in Springfield, OH. Known for his handiwork and a love for fishing, Stephen found solace and joy in the simplicity of nature and the creations of his own hands. His commitment to his community was evident in his tireless service as the Pastor of the Church of Jesus Christ. Those who knew Stephen were touched by his kindness, his generous laughter, and his ability to inspire others with his love for the Lord. Stephen's departure leaves behind a void that will be felt by all who had the fortune to encounter his vibrant spirit. He was a man of deep faith, profound love for his family, and an unyielding passion for life. He is preceded by his mother, Donna Jean Paul; two brothers, William Paul and Ransom Lee Tilton. His memory will be treasured and kept alive by his father, Stephen Michael Paul and stepmother, Tracye Paul; light of his life, his wife Mary Paul; his cherished children, Forrest, Isaiah, Malachi, Moses, Mordecai, Ransom, Cheyenne, and Donna Paul; sister Debbie Bryson, and sister-in-law Tamara Tilton; ex-wife, Patricia Rosenburger; along with many friends and church family. Trinity Funeral Services is honored to serve the Paul family in their time of need and asks that you remember them in your thoughts and prayers through the days ahead.
