Paul Roald Pedersen, 35, passed away unexpectedly as a result of a tragic work-related accident on Friday, March 14, 2008.

Paul lived a full life. One that was filled with helping others. He used his mechanical knowledge and gift to bless people. When he wasn't fixing a lawn mower, working on someone's vehicle or tinkering in his shop, you could find him hanging out with family and friends. A get-together wasn't complete unless Paul showed up wearing his trusted hickory shirt and "uptown" romeos, carrying a batch of hot wings.

Paul loved his yearly trips to Alaska where he would fish with his family aboard the Inger B. We all missed him when he was away for the summer but were comforted knowing that he was exactly where he loved to be. Now we can have that same comfort as we know that he is in a better place with his Heavenly Father.

Paul is survived by his parents Roald & Inger Pedersen, brothers Peter and David, and many family and close friends.


A celebration of Paul's life was held on Saturday March 22nd, 2008 at Stanwood Foursquare Church.
