Paul Dow

On October 22, 2019, Paul R. Dow, beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend entered his heavenly home.

Paul Dow was born in Saginaw, Michigan on October 29, 1957, to the late Paul and Betty Dow. Paul met the love of his life, Judi, and they got married on 5/6/78. He graduated with an Associates in Criminal Justice from Delta College in 1979. He was a City of Gillette Wyoming Police Canine Handler for 5 years before going to work for Gordon Food Service as a Sales Manager for 26 years. He was called by many as their “911 friend,” the man you could call at any time for anything and he would be there. Paul had a heart for the mission field and actively participated through his church, C1 Church.

Paul leaves behind his partner in life of 41 years, Judith Dow; daughter, Kelly (Steven) Koronka; son, Justin (Karissa) Dow; grandchildren: Annabelle, Addison, Alexis, Aurora, and Carter; brother, David (Carole) Dow; sister, Judy (Ron) Malace. He is also survived by his in-laws, cousins, nieces, and nephews as well as two new grandchildren on the way.

Paul’s family will receive friends at C1. Church on Friday evening from 4:00 until 8:00 pm. A celebration of Paul’s life will be Saturday, October 26, 2019, at C1. Church in Columbia, TN at 10:00 am.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to please make donations to C1. Church, 907 Nashville Highway, Columbia, TN 38401. All donations will be supporting the following missions: Columbia to Colombia, Panama City, and Mary Knoll Lay Missioners.
