Paul Raymond Zachry
Paul Raymond Zachry was born in
Shelton, WA on October 8, 1969. A
lifelong resident of Shelton, he passed
away on January 18, Paul was
the youngest child of the late DeLoss
and Ethel Zachry. He is survived by
his siblings: DeLoss Zachry, Jr. WA,
MeLinda (Bobby) Wentz, OR, Melonie
(Dana) Carroll, FL, and Robert (Donna)
Zachry, WA.
Paul graduated from Shelton High
School in 1988. In 1989, Paul had an
accident that left him a quadriplegic.
During the days following the accident,
Paul experienced a profound spiritual
encounter that sustained his faith
throughout the next 33 years.
Rather than choosing bitterness and
depression, Paul purposed his broken body to be an instrument to
share the profound peace and joy, strength and hope, love and grace,
patience and endurance he found through faith in Jesus Christ. He
went on to complete pastoral studies, becoming a licensed minister.
‘ Paul, as all young men, experienced love, loss, heartbreak, times
of questioning and anxiety, even anger, but he was quick to repent
and quicker to forgive. Always wanting others to know the reason
for the joy he felt in spite of his situation, he shared the message of
God’s hope and grace to all who he encountered whether neighbors,
caregivers, medical personnel or random encounters
Although Paul left no children of his own, he became a surrogate r
father, uncle, and brother, mentor, encourager and confidant to
Shelton’s youth. His nieces and nephews: Jason Quantz (deceased),
Christine White, Robin Forshey, Miracle Fingerson, Noah Quantz,
Hannah Rule, Faith Gurel, Isaac Carroll, Emily Roy, Haley Scott,
Rebecca Sulak became his arms and legs throughout the years
which enabled him to enjoy camping, boating, working on his car,
target shooting and traveling. He leaves behind grand nieces and
nephews.
Paul will be missed by faithful friends Patty Simmons, Diana
Greenman, William Whitten and many others.
The family encourages the community to follow the Paul R. Zachry
Memorial Group on Facebook for memorial information and to post
a message of Paul’s impact in their lives, or send a note in care of
Del Zachry 301 E. Capital Prairie Rd, Shelton, WA 98584. Instead
