Paul, 63, left our world on February 12, 2024. He was born on January 31, 1961 in Akron, Ohio. Preceded in death by his parents, JoAnn Kibler, Step-father Larry Kibler & Paul A. Bruno, step-brother Pete Kibler (Monica), niece Colleen Kibler, and brother Larry Bruno (Armi).  He leaves daughter Vanessa (Chris) Carey, granddaughters Hope Yvonne and Jaslynn Grace Carey, brother Gary (Julie) Bruno, sister Nancy (Rick) King, sister Trish (Lee) Miller, step sisters Pam, Patty & Paula, lifelong friends, Ed Garcia, the Hernandez brothers, and Pete Turkalj, as well as a large extended family.

Paul loved his family, putting his granddaughters, who he adored, at the top of the list.  The beach was his favorite spot to hang out with family and friends. His love for sports always came back to Ohio - the Browns, Cavs and Guardians were his first choice, and his childhood team was the Minnesota Vikings, not sure why.

Paul could find someone to talk to anywhere about anything.  He was a "people person" who loved conversation and making us all laugh - his was infectious!  All who knew him would agree he had a good heart and endless humor - that is what we will miss most.

Rest in Peace to our friend, brother, Dad and Papa.
