Paul A. Ellis

Paul A. Ellis, of Warren, passed away Saturday, November 18, 2023, at the age of 61. He was born June 26, 1962 in Detroit, Michigan to the late Delbert Arnold and Betty Lou Ellis. Loving husband of Victoria "Vicki" (née Albo). Dear and proud father of Tori Russo and Nicole (James) Stinson. Proud grandfather of Dominic (Ajontae) Hemry and the late Zachary Davis and great grandfather of Mateo, David, Liam, and ZaCarie who is on her way. Dear brother of Karl Ellis, the late James Ellis, and the late Leona Hathaway. Paul is also survived by his "Brothers from Another Mother" Brian (Barb) Mulvey, Lew Gartin, Steve Schmekel, the late Andy Borowy, several "Bonus Daughters and Honorary Grandchildren", and many loving nieces, nephews, family, and friends. Paul was born and raised in Detroit. He attended and graduated from Baptist Academy High School. Upon graduating, Paul decided to attend business school to further his education, but soon found out this was not the right path for him. His love of music and people led him to working security at Dazzle's/Jumpin' Jacks Nightclub. For over 18 years, Paul was able to socialize, enjoy good music, and provide a safe place for others to enjoy themselves as well, before a car accident cut this career short. Paul's sense of humor, love of comedy, and love for his family and friends was unprecedented. He loved to crack jokes and one liners, with them sometimes bordering on inappropriate! But that was Paul, you got what you saw. He did have a serious and giving side to him as well; he would put together Halloween buckets and Easter baskets for all of the nieces and nephews; he would always help someone in need; and would give you the shirt off his back or last dime he had if it could help. Paul is remembered as a man who loved music, Westerns, comedies, Harley Motorcycles, Scooby-Doo, and WWE Wrestling. But beyond everything else, his love for his family took top priority and always came first. He was well loved and will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege to know him. Visitation Sunday 2-8 p.m. with a 7 p.m. Rosary at the Wasik Funeral Home, Inc., 11470 Thirteen Mile Road (West of Hoover) Warren. Family and friends will gather at the funeral home Monday from 10 a.m. until an 11 a.m. funeral service. In loving memory of Paul, the Ellis family will be making a donation to Bovenschen School in honor of Paul's late grandson Zachary who was a student there. The Bovenschen School was a program that was near and dear to Paul and the Ellis family, and they request in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be addressed to the family as they will include your contribution to the donation.
