Anthony Paul lived a life full of purpose, marked by love, laughter, service and adventure. To all who had the privilege of knowing him, Paul was a radiant presence like sunshine in human form. He was someone who made life brighter, warmer and undeniably more joyful.

He is a beloved son of Brigida and Ramon, a devoted brother to Louis, Monica and Margaret, a brother-in-law to Jeremy, an uncle to Cameron and partner to Jean-Philippe. Paul will be dearly missed by his immediate family, as well as his extended families — the Manapul and Enriquez families — and his closest friends, who were blessed enough to experience his awesomeness.

He was someone who protected his family, a pillar of strength and always showed up when we needed him. He was the ultimate example of resilience and positivity. He inspired us everyday to live and view life to the fullest just like the way he did. Though our time with him was cut short, we’re very blessed to have him be part of our lives and we can’t imagine how others have gone through life without Paul.

In his work as a nurse, Paul embodied what it truly means to be an empath with his willingness to go above and beyond for patients in their most vulnerable moments. He treated his colleagues with warmth and compassion through his ability to listen and support.

He danced through life - literally and figuratively - with a childlike joy. Music moved him, and he moved others. His adventurous spirit took him to new places and cultures. He traveled not just to see the world but to feel it — to connect with people. Whether hiking through nature, jumping off a cliff, doing handstands in the most random places, Paul found beauty everywhere.

We will always remember Paul for his beautiful smile, infectious laughter and amazing soul.
