Paul J. Crist

He was born on March 27, 1963 in Flint, the son of Earl F. and Lorraine T. (Lehoux) Crist. He was raised in Flint and graduated from Holy Rosary Catholic High School where he ran track and played football. Paul furthered his education through DeVry Institute of Technology, earning his bachelor’s degree.

Paul has resided in Escanaba for the last five years. He was employed as a biomedical equipment tech at OSF St. Francis Hospital.

He enjoyed riding his Harley, gardening, and the beautiful outdoors. Paul could be found fishing the waters of Little Bay and always had a home improvement project keeping him busy around the house.

Paul is survived by his children, Tiffany Foxx, Nathan Crist, Bryan Crist, Brandon Crist and Nicholas Crist; grandchildren, Ethan Foxx and Emilia Foxx; siblings, Gerald Crist, Roger Crist, and Brian Crist; and neices and nephews, Heather Bahr, Ashley Hoggard, and Andrew Crist.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Lorraine Crist.

He will be greatly missed by his friends and family as his time was cut too short. He will be remembered for his dedication, innate problem solving skills, groan worthy dad jokes, and as someone you could always count on.

Services will be held at a later date at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in his hometown of Flint, Mich.
