Paul Harper Obituary
Paul was born March 4, 1958, to Eugene Aaron Harper and Gladys Mae Jackson-Harper in Durango, CO. Paul was a jack of all trades. He could do just about anything from cutting meat to laying tile and Chinking. Some of his favorite things to do included hunting, fishing, being with his family and he loved to travel. He loved his dogs and just about any other animal. Paul always had something comical to say and he will be dearly missed.
He is survived by: his parents; sister Jeanie Turner; sons Michal (Stormy) and Chris (Sarah) Harper as well as 4 grandchildren. He is preceded in death by his grandparents Aaron and Maria Harper and James and Lilly Jackson.

Sweet Paul I will sure miss you. I will miss your laugh, your twinkling eyes, and your friendship. We have been friends for nearly 35 years, more than half our lives. I know the past few years have been very hard for you, and I was so glad we got to spend some time together, take some walks together, go for some rides in your Corvette, and just enjoy each other's company. I miss you my friend. I hope you are at peace now. I hope your doggies understand, I know they will miss you too.
Love you always, Cindy
