John Paul

John Raeder Paul went home to be with the Lord on his 71st birthday, July 9th, 2021. John Paul will be greatly missed by all who knew him and those privileged to call him “Papa.” John Paul was a very talented marketing expert who spent the majority of his early career working with community banks in St. Clair and Bad Axe, Michigan. Later, John Paul went on to use his talents to provide marketing services to many small business startups. Lastly, John Paul devoted his talents exclusively to Lavender’s Restoration Ministries (LRM). A monumental project that John Paul viewed as his career capstone as well as a personal call from the Lord, a work that will continue on. John Paul was a cherished husband, father to 4 adult children, grandfather to 11 grandchildren and great grandfather to 11 great grandchildren. Adult children - David Paul, Tiffany (John) Zelno, Heather Frost, and Evan Rudolph (Airia Sparks); Grandchildren – Jacob Frost; William, Charlotte, Lily, Elizabeth, and Theodore Zelno. Adult grandchildren - Emily (Zach) Wheeler (great grandchildren Eli, Zola, Zane and Eve), Laura (Patrick) Hagan (great grandchildren Rylan, Savanna, Benjamin Simpson, Ezra, and Jethro), Ashley (Zach) Anderson (great grandchildren twins Elicia and Seth), Amanda (Roman) Mynatt, and Mikayla (Jeremiah) Barrett. A memorial service for John Paul will be held on Saturday, August 21, at 10:00 a.m. at Radiant Church 15522 W Paradise Ln, Surprise, AZ 85374 In lieu of flowers, John Paul would be greatly honored by monetary gifts being sent to his wife, Dr. Sharon L Paul, at sharon@discoverLRM.org for the completion and printing costs of The Case and Lavender’s Restoration-Translation of the New Testament - two major LRM publications. To God be the glory for His gift to us - John R. Paul.
