He touched the lives of many with his warmth and kindness and his memory will forever be cherished by all who knew him. Besides his parents Carl and Ellen (Burg) Given he was preceded in death by his wife Rosalyn and brother John G Given.
Paul enjoyed hunting, fishing, gardening and bird watching in his spare time but most of all loved taking care of his family and home that he built. He maintained and continually updated and remodeled to make his wife and family a better life. He enjoyed working in the yard and maintaining his gardens. Paul enjoyed helping friends, neighbors and family, never turning anyone away.
