RIP Paul Allen Jr.
I met Paul when he started working in Trucks. At one point I was his group leader which I shared with him that his dad had a big influence on me on becoming a group leader. Paul was a great guy, great team member and you could always depend on him…. I am posting obituary from when he passed away back 2023….
Paul Edward Allen Jr. Obituary
On a heartbreaking Sunday, February 19, 2023, the world lost an extraordinary soul. Paul Edward Allen Jr., only 58 years old, unexpectedly passed away while at his parent's home in Oakdale, California. The news of his sudden departure sent shockwaves of grief and disbelief throughout his community, leaving a void that cannot be filled.
Paul was born on January 28, 1965, in the beautiful town of Fremont, California. This was where he spent his entire childhood, creating unforgettable memories with family and friends. His weekends were filled with adventure, as he would spend most of his time camping and water skiing with his loved ones and close friends.
In 1983, Paul graduated from Irvington High School, where he was an unforgettable figure due to his easy-going demeanor and his fast, tricked-out race car. Soon after graduation, he dove headfirst into the workforce, working for major auto makers such as General Motors and Toyota’s joint venture N.U.M.M.I. aka New United Motors Manufacturing Inc. and later at Tesla Motors. Cars were not just his profession, but his passion as well, which he devoted over 25 years of his life to.
In 1987, Paul married Regina Ribarich, and the couple moved to Tracy, California, where they raised their three children, Brandon, Jacob, and Dylan. Family time was Paul's priority, and he cherished every moment spent with his loved ones, whether it was cooking, barbequing, watching sports, or coaching his boys’ team sports. The couple later divorced in 2014.
Paul's passing has left a gaping hole in the hearts of all who knew him. He was an exceptional man who wore many hats, such as a father, son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin, and friend. Recently, he had also become a new grandpa, and his love and devotion towards his family knew no bounds. He was the epitome of a great man, an honest man. Paul was reliable, punctual, and always willing to lend a helping hand. The friend you could always count on when moving or in times of need. He was a selfless person and the best little brother one could ever ask for.
The world has lost a true gem, and Paul will always be missed. His memory will forever be cherished, and his spirit will live on through his loved ones.
Rest in peace, Paul.
