Paul Ray Shetley

Paul Ray Shetley passed away Feb. 19, 2022, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. He is survived by his three children: Mary Murphy (Gary Murphy), Brad Shetley (Bonnie Shetley) and Ashley McRoy (Collin McRoy), grandchildren: Patrick Corbo, Kaitlyn Corbo and Ezra Shetley, as well as his Cocker Spaniel "Missy" and Jack Russell "Charlie."

He was known by many as a friend, volunteer and a veteran, but most importantly a father and family man who, at times, was a father figure to those who were without. Simply put, he was a kind man willing to "stand in the gap" when needed.

Paul loved a nice fishing spot, fine cigar and good conversation. Chats around a fire or table were commonplace and were usually accompanied by a Santa Maria style barbecue.

He will be remembered for his generosity, godly character and hospitality to both those he knew a lifetime or those he had just met.

A service and potluck will be held Sunday, Feb. 27, 2022, at 1 p.m. at Beth Shalom Fellowship, located at 3773 W. Fifth Ave., Post Falls, Idaho.

A burial with Honors will take place at the Washington State Veterans Cemetery in Medical Lake, Wednesday, March 2, at 1 p.m.
