Paul Winn Obituary

The time and memories we have been afforded with Paul are a blessing. Even though he is gone, the time we have had with him on earth is etched in our minds. Thank you. My condolences to his wife , Elaine, and all of his family. May God comfort you.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Such a faithful and devout man of God. My first memories of him are when he and his dad would drop in on our services at Maranatha COGIC (back in the 1980s). May God's peace overshadow his wife and family.

To my dear friend superintendent Paul win I'll always miss you now you can rejoice because you're up there with the kings of Kings and Lord of lords

I spent a number of years as a ministry associate to my good friend Dr. Paul Winn. Although those times were not always without strife, they were always times of great blessings. Those were without a doubt some of the happiest days of my ministry!
To my dear sister Winn I would say the same thing that Paul so often said in times like these, "remember my sister, in spite of all you now face joy comes in the morning." To all of my dear Winn family members, please know that Dr. Kathy, Dr. Chris, and all of the Stevenson clan are praying for you, and if there is anything that we can do to make this time less painful for you please just give us a call.
I know others have already said this but please allow me to echo once more that my friend, my brother, my fellow laborer in the field was without a doubt one of the finest men I have ever had the pleasure to have known. Rest now my brother, I'll see you again one day in our Lord's own time.

Rev. Dr. Richard Stevenson

Our prayers are with you I really will miss pastor winn.

Paul was always kind and gentle person. Went beyond the color of your skin and looked at your heart. He will be missed, but only for a little while. See you soon!

I am praying for you and the family.

To Lady Elaine Winn. I am praying for you and your family. I valued the friendship and fellowship of Pastor Winn and the entire Praise Temple family.

Reverend Winn was a positive and inspirational man. My condolences to his family. Rest Peacefully Reverend Winn.

Paul was always an inspiration to me. He always encouraged me, and was so glad to see me. I felt honored to be a fellow pastor in Lawrence with my friend Paul. My prayers for his family.

I first met Pastor Winn back in 2013 when he did the memorial service for my ex boyfriend. I also attended the church with my cousin several times back in 2014. He was always cheerful and made the services pleasant. He will be missed. My prayers are with the family.

I worked with Paul many years ago & found him to be a very kind, caring person. He always stopped & spoke with me whenever or wherever we ran into each other all these years later. I can't imagine how many lives he touched in a positive manner during his lifetime. He will surely be missed by us all. My prayers are with you.

I will miss his smiling face. He was a very caring person. His family is in my prayers

RIP, Pastor Winn so glad I was able to speak with you at St. Luke AME during Black History Program. You are with God we will see each other again one day

Paul was a classmate at HPHS. We had a great visit at our 40th reunion. I am so glad we got to catch up on our lives.My deepest sympathy goes out to all of his family and friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

As a fellow classmate at Highland Park, I am saddened to hear of Paul's passing. What wonderful things he accomplished in his life! May good memories of him remain with you always.

our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

To all of the Winn family and friends: I was so sad to hear of Paul's passing. He will be missed! He did so much good in the world and his faith was inspiring. I know of a surety that he was welcomed home to the Lord's loving arms and the Savior's acknowledgement "Well done my true and good servant, welcome home my son." While we will miss him...the heavens are rejoicing. Praying for comfort for you all at this time and always. God bless you all.

My heart goes out to his First Lady Elaine. I got to no Pastor Winn and his wife when I worked at Dollar General in Lawrence. Lovely couple. They were always so nice to me. Condolences to Pastor Winn and his First Lady. Prayer to the family. R.I.H.

My thoughts and prayers for the family.

To 1st Lady Winn and Praise Temple family I send my love, support during this time. Know that you can rejoice in the Lord because he met the man he called Jesus and loved so much. So Peace, Rest, Endurance I declare over each of you.

Paul was a classmate of mine from kindergarten through high school. He grew into exactly the sort of man I would have expected - a kind, quiet man who genuinely cared about other people.
My sincere condolences to his family and friends.
