Paul Warren Rose
July 29, 1971 – August 1, 2026

Paul Warren Rose, 55, of Summersville, West Virginia, was called home on August 1, 2026.

Paul was born on July 29, 1971, in Nicholas County, West Virginia.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul Warren Rose, Sr. and JoAnn Nutter Rose.

It would take many words to describe the impact Paul had on this world and on those around him.  He had a stoic exterior that could intimidate some, but behind his often-furrowed brow was a strong, observant, and thoughtful man.  Paul brought beauty and order through his attention to detail.  This was reflected not only in his profession but also in the lives of the family he fiercely loved.

Paul's greatest joy was the love he shared with his wife, Susan.  They were blessed with 25 beautiful years together before Paul said, "Yes, Lord, I will ride with You."

Paul is also survived by his children, Meggan Rose, Sydni Bibb, Jakeb Bibb, Noah Bibb, and Alisa Coker; stepmom Tish Rose, his brothers, J.D. Simpson and Joseph Simpson; his sister, Maudee Montgomery; and their spouses, along with many cherished nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and one great-nephew.

Habakkuk 3:19

"The Sovereign Lord is my strength; He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; He enables me to tread on the heights."
