Paul Austin Buskirk

July 23, 1990 – January 27, 2025

Paul Austin Buskirk, age 34, passed away on January 27, 2025. He was born on July 23, 1990, in Mesa, Arizona to Ron and Laurie Buskirk. They later moved to Ocala, Florida, where he spent his childhood. Paul had a deep love for the outdoors and enjoyed playing paintball and fishing with friends. It was during this time, at the age of 11, that he came to know the Lord and became an active member and volunteer in his church.

Paul attended the University of Central Florida before serving in the U.S. Air Force as an air traffic controller. In 2013, he met the love of his life, Jennifer, and from then on, they were inseparable. Together, they built a beautiful life, eventually settling in Las Vegas, where Paul became a well-known and respected member of the community through his work at Metro Awnings.

Paul was a man of many passions. He loved building and flying drones, shooting rifles, playing billiards, competitive video gaming, and riding his motorcycle. His adventurous spirit fueled his constant travels—he wanted to see everything and try anything. His enthusiasm for life was contagious, and his kindness and warmth made him instantly loved by all who met him.

Paul was a devoted brother to Alan and an adoring uncle to his three nephews, who looked up to him with admiration. He leaves behind a vast circle of friends who were touched by his humor, generosity, and unwavering loyalty.

Paul is survived by his beloved wife, Jennifer Buskirk; his parents Ron and Laurie Buskirk; his brother and his wife Alan and Emily Buskirk, their three sons Zachary, Caleb, and Jacob. He is also survived by his grandparents Ralph and Ann Newman and many loving aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Ray and Marie Buskirk, and Ancil Taylor Sr.

A memorial service to celebrate Paul’s life will be held March 22 at 2:00 PM at the Red Rock Overlook, 3205 NV-159, Las Vegas, NV 89161.

Paul lived fearlessly, loved deeply, and left a lasting impact on everyone he encountered. His adventurous spirit and boundless love will be profoundly missed but never forgotten.
