Paul Janssen

The family of Paul Janssen is saddened to announce his passing on Dec. 4, 2024.

After a brief and intense shoot-out with cancer, his sun set peacefully at age 58.

Paul served in the military before he began his 30+ year career in the petroleum business. Starting as a truck driver with a passion for more, he worked his way through school and landed in management. Over the years, Paul successfully managed multiple oil terminals in various states. Paul was fueled by hobbies that included Harleys, Artic Cats, and camping. He was also involved in and enjoyed the baseball and band communities.

He is survived by his wife Nancy; children Logan, Taylor, David (Kayla), Matthew, and Jennifer (Dan); grandchildren Tiegan, Kyler, Bryson, Eva, Harrison, and George; his parents Gene and Grayce; siblings Andrea (Gene), Margaret (Kim), Joel, and Ingrid (Marcel); nephews and nieces Nathaniel (Katie), Chris (Rio), Alexandra (Zach), and Garrett.

A Celebration of Life will be held the first weekend in May 2025.
