Funeral Mass for Paul Droog
Condolences
So sorry for your loss. I recently renewed my car insurance and discovered that most car insurance companies have a Death Coverage for Car Accidents. You may want to check to see if Paul had such coverage through his car insurance company to help with some of the expenses.
My condolences
If you are a bible reader you might find comfort in reading Revelation 21:3,4.
Krista and Steve and families,
Deeply sorry for your loss. Thinking of you during this difficult time.

To Trish and family, my heart is broken along with you as you experience the loss of your brother. I am thinking of you sending you strength as you say goodbye to your dear brother.
— Karen Quigley, July 15, 2026Praying for you all in this unimaginable time. I met Paul through my ex husband and met Jen at a party that Paul had. Paul was always so kind and generous with his time and when you spoke to him he genuinely listened. Over the years I've watched jen and Paul's relationship grow and them raising the kids and the kids growing through facebook. Jen even though we never did become close friends due to life and me moving away I do consider you a friend and I've always felt a connection to you all, please if you need anything please reach out.

— Dan Purcell, July 14, 2026I sm truly saddened by this news, my heart breaks for his family...he truly sounded like a wonderful father and husband and friend✨️My momAunt Teeny) would take me to uncle Ted and Aunt Carol's for a few days, sometimes a week, back in the day, when we were little.

So very sorry for your loss. I babysat Paul when he was just a wee baby.
Thinking of Carol and the rest of the family.
I am so very sorry to hear of Paul's untimely passing. He was a very hard working person and took great pride in doing things well. He stood up and said so when he didn't think something was right. He was open about his strong faith and how much he adored his family and pets. The world is a lonely place I am certain without your hero. Paul, rest safe in Jesus arms. Thank you for all you gave us ❤️.
— Kelley Eves, July 9, 2026We will always remember you Paul. You were always so cheerful when we dropped/picked out son up from your house. We know you're in a better place. But we will miss seeing you when we come by with Daniel. You were such a kind and caring person. I'm glad we got to know you a little bit.
Rest easy friend

Our condolences to Jenn and family, both immediate and extended.
