At sunrise, Paul Ehrlich, 51 departed this world bound for heaven. Paul worked hard and played harder. He was an avid fisherman, and an above average golfer. He loved a good joke, was an epic prankster, and could tell the most believable fish story. Paul never met a stranger and would do anything to serve others.

Paul is survived by the love of his life, lady friend, and wife of 29 years, Kelly. He is also survived by his beloved family, mother Judy, his sister Jodie, his in laws Ed & Gail Cook, sister-in-law Chris Cook, and brother in law Ed (Karla), his nieces Charly (Travis), Lauren (John), Samantha (Ethan), Katherine, and Hailey. His nephew Andrew, and great nephews Kolton and Easton. Paul had more friends than you could count but he loved Jim (Judy) Lundy, Ken (Carrie) Saucier, and Simon (Lindsey) Manns like brothers. On any given Friday he could be found at Roma’s taking up a table with Chip and Jenni Hartle, their daughters, Ella and Kaelynn, and Rachael and Ryan Phillips. The list of people he loved and cherished is almost too long to mention but if you ask his adopted daughters, Heather Raburn and Kelly Shields, they will tell you everyone who met him, loved Paul.

A service to celebrate his life will be held on Saturday, March 2, 2024 at 6:00pm in the Bowling Green Chapel of Storke Funeral Home. Immediately following the service, the family will receive friends at The Well Community Church, 144 E Broaddus Avenue, Bowling Green.

If your heart so chooses, please make a donation in his honor to The Well Community Church, Bowling Green Volunteer Fire Department, or Caroline Habitat for Humanity.

The world is less funny, but heaven will be joyous and I’m not sure Jesus is ready for the laughter and love he’s about to witness.
