Paul Raymond Carpenter Obituary

Paul Raymond Carpenter the 2nd was gifted to the world on 4/25/96. He was feisty from the get go. His preschool immersion in all things Batman was a portent of how intensely focused he would be on whatever interested him, from soccer to basketball and Japanese to The Mountain Goats. Paul was a natural athlete, a lover of dogs and deeply philosophical. Movies and heavy metal music were favorite diversions. He was close to his family and always loved annual vacations with his parents and siblings. Paul was fiercely passionate about equality and social justice, as anyone who ever read his Facebook posts and felt their ears blister can attest. (He will be smiling down on everyone who votes.) Most importantly, Paul was deeply loved. He will be missed forever. The family asks that donations may be made in Paul's name to Planned Parenthood.
