Paul Rouser

Beloved Husband, Father, and Friend Paul Rouser passed away peacefully at the age of 84 on September 5th, surrounded by the love of his family. A man of quiet wisdom and unwavering devotion, Paul lived his life with deep loyalty and commitment to the family.

Born in Pittsburgh, PA, on December 13, 1940, Paul built a life defined by loyalty, patience, and care. He was a man who gave freely of himself—never seeking recognition, always putting others first. His love for his wife and family was the steady center of his world, and he showed that love not just in words, but in every thoughtful act and sacrifice.

Paul was known for his intelligence, his calm presence, and his ability to listen deeply. Whether solving a problem, helping his kids and grandchildren buy a car or house, or simply sitting beside you in silence, he made people feel seen and valued. His legacy is not just in what he did, but in how he made others feel—safe, supported, and nurtured.

Paul is survived by Mary and his sons Mike, Je5, and Ken, and grandchildren Jake, Nick, Wyatt, Garrett, Josie, and Cammy—each of whom carries forward his legacy of courage, generosity, and boundless possibility.

A memorial service will be held on September 12th at Port Blakely Cemetery.
