All Personal Notes for Paul V. Farris


Paul, you were loved by all who knew you. I will cherish every memory I have of our friendship, especially Dane Cook, handle bar moustaches, and my secret trips to hangout with you and the guys. Love you always, until we meet again.

I can't believe youre gone. I had heard something about a crash up in Somerville but didnt really think anything of it until they showed a picture of you on the television. I'm in shock. I know we hadn't hung out in a couple months, and I look back and wish I could amend that. I'll miss you kiddo and I'll always look back on the times we spent together fondly. Whether it was jamming at shows or just hanging out. Rest in peace.

I never met Paul but I was home the night of the accident which took place across the street from my family's house. My prayers go out to all of Paul's friends and family. The neighborhood of Highland and Kidder share your grief and pray for Paul's eternal life. We are so very sorry for your loss.

Paul was the most amazing person I have ever met. He could make everyone smile and light up a room. He was brilliant and talented. He will never be forgotten.

I had only met you a couple of times but I could tell just by those brief moments that you were an incredibly sweet, outgoing, and caring person. It pains me to know that something so terrible could happen to someone as nice as you. My heart goes out to your family and friends, may you rest in peace

I did not know Paul, but I witnessed the chase and I feared that it would end in tragedy knowing my busy neighborhood streets. It pains me that at that very moment when the SUV flew past my car that Paul was still alive, and yet within moments something terrible had happened. I am truly sorry for the friends and families of Paul and Kate. May Paul's memory live on forever.

I'd have to say there was only a handful of times I saw Paul, but we did know each other... Paul and Kate were always so much fun to hang out with. Paul, It's just not right what happened. Just know that everyone down here will always remember the good times.RIP. Kate, keep strong, its only up from here...

I didn't know Paul too well, but one of my favorite memories was one we shared together. A mutual friend got us tickets for Game 2 of the World Series, and that evening will remain etched in my mind for my entire life. I'm lucky to have shared that wonderful experience with such a genuinely nice guy. My deepest heartfelt condolences go to his family, and I wish a full recovery for Kate.

Roberta, Jon and Scott. My heart goes out to you all. The same thing happened in my family 23 years ago when my sister (age 20) was killed in a car crash. Paul was a wonderful person. He had the best pinewood derby cars and I was always amazed at all of his talents. Paul touched everyone he met. This is truly a great loss for everyone.

I didn't know Paul Farris. I'm a friend of his Dad's. I am outside of Paul's sphere of influence and his music. But, based on what I see here and on MySpace, I realize it is my loss not to have known him. For his Dad, Jon and Mom, Roberta, I shed a sincere tear over this tragic event.

Paul, i still cant believe your gone just like that. You gave me a ton of insight about my life and college. The experiences you told me about moving from Minnesota by yourself made me think. The knowledge you shared with me during the interview was amazing and very deep and has now changed my life even more. I never expected a great guy like you to go away like that. Thank you for everything you have done for me.

I know Paul rests eternally in peace and safety and that his loving eyes will forever watch over you all. Roberta, my heart is aching for you. Love, Kris

I did not know you, but reading these tributes to you - I see that was my loss. You were a bright light; that is very clear. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to all who love you, as well as your girlfriend and the driver of the cab. Rest in peace, Paul.

Paul, you were the nicest, most honest person I have ever met in my entire life. It was an honor to work with you and it was a privilege to be your friend. We miss you everyday Paul.

Paul,
My reaction to your death is a testament to your incredible spirit. I feel as though I have truly lost a friend, although I doubt either of us would consider us anything close to that. I remember you in choir, talent shows, your smile, and the unique sound of your laugh. You are missed.

God bless you Paul. I know you are in heaven with my uncle (the taxi-driver). I will always keep you in my prayers.

Paul, You were one of the kindest, most gentle people I had ever met. It was an honor to work with and know you. You always had a kind word and a smile for everyone. My heart goes out to your family. May you find peace in whatever is after...and may your family find peace and hope here in your absence.

I did not know Paul very well, but in the time that I did spend with him I immediately sensed what those closest to him have said in the wake of this tragedy. He was such a kind and genuine person-- the type of guy that you wanted to be around, because it just made you feel good.
Thank you Paul.. Keep rocking

I'm so sorry for the Farris family. I was blessed with getting to know Paul through Katelyn since I am dating her brother. She had nothing but good things to say about him and when I finally met him I understood why. He was an amazing guy, no other way to put it. His sense of humor had me laughing to tears. He made Katelyn feel complete and I could see it when they were together. I pray for your family everyday.

Paul--I'm sick with grief and loss over the news of your passing. Even though it's been years since we spent time together, my heart is with you and your family. You were one of the most generous and kind and giving persons I have known. You brought joy and light to so many people through your spirit and your music, and my one comfort is knowing that you are in a better and happier place now. May you find all of the peace and joy you deserve.

I still cannot believe that you are gone as I continue to try to make sense of this horrible loss. Paul, you were such a good and kind person. You helped me out in so many ways that I'm sure you didn't ever realize. I am confident that you are now in a place that allows you to understand how much this world loved you and how empty it feels without you. I will always hold on to the many happy memories that I have of you. I miss you more and more all the time.

Paul was not only my boyfriend, but my best friend! I miss and unconditionally love him equally with his family... I always will! *Katelyn
