Paul E. Okey, 54, of Oregon, Ohio, passed away Wednesday, July 15, 2021 after a courageous battle at Magruder Hospital with his loving family by his side. He was born in Toledo, Ohio on October 19, 1966 to Marvin and Betty (Crawford) Okey. Paul graduated from Roy C. Start High School and a few years later would marry the love of his life and best friend Virginia "Kina" (Buenrostro) on July 13, 1991. Paul worked as a bus driver for the YMCA. Over his time there he impacted a countless number of young kids in the community who always remained dear to him. He was the kind of guy that was a "dad" to so many children. He was an avid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and made sure to always watch his run of shows including but not limited to, Jerry Springer, The Price is Right, Family Feud and the Bachelor. Paul always enjoyed his time golfing with his boys, but what he cherished most was the time he spent with his family, especially his grandkids. Paul was a kind soul and will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Paul is survived by his wife of 30 years, Kina; children, Lance (Angie) Okey, Justice "Bubba" (Maddy Cousino) , Blaze and Brei; mother, Betty; grandchildren, Landon, Lleyton, Charlie, Miles, Camryn; sister, Tammy Okey; brother, Jason Okey; and many nieces, nephews and loving family members.
