Will Paul

A Celebration of Life for Will Anthony Paul, age 46 of Cookeville, will be held on Saturday November 27 at 1 p.m. in the Cookeville Chapel of Hooper Huddleston and Horner Funeral Home. Bro. Virgil Paul will officiate. His family will receive friends Saturday from 11 a.m. until service time. Will, born January 7, 1975 in Cookeville, TN, passed away Thursday November 18, 2021 at his home. He is survived by his father, Johnny (Susan) Paul of Wartrace, TN; mother, Lacrecia (Johnny) Howard of Cookeville; daughter, Carlee Paul of Sparta; siblings, Indyalyn (Tony) Delk, Charley (Haven) Paul, Chris (Chasity) Howard all of Cookeville, Mark (Erin) Howard of Richmond, KY; four nephews; two nieces; and a host of other family and friends. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Charles and Agnes Paul, Lloyd and Alma Murphy. Will was always a hard worker and for the last 21 years he owned AccuComfort HVAC, which he built from the ground up. A master of his trade, Will was known for his expertise, honesty, and integrity. He loved his work, the people he served, and helping others in the industry with trouble-shooting difficulties. Will was a brave and fearless man who enjoyed many exciting adventures over the years. He formerly competed with the Nation Cowboy Association bull riding circuit and was named Rookie of the year in 1996. He earned a brown belt in Karate at a young age, and loved deer hunting. Will loved deeply, laughed often, and never met a stranger. Always ready with a joke, story, or a kind word, Will was a friend to all! He loved his family and friends, always did the right thing by people, and fought for the underdog, but the love and light of his life was his daughter, Carlee. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to an educational fund set up for Carlee at FirstBank 851 S. Willow Ave Ste 101 Cookeville TN. Hooper Huddleston and Horner Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements. (931)526-6111 Share your thoughts and memories at www.hhhfunerals.com.
