| Published by Mohave Daily News Online from Mar. 25 to Mar. 28, 2022 - Bullhead City, Arizona - Paul Lawrence Haycraft, age 83, passed away peacefully as he slept at Kingman Regional Hospital on Thursday, December 16, 2021. He was born on March 12, 1938 in Louisville, Kentucky, one of nine children of his mother, Elma and father, Paul Vincent Haycraft. He leaves the world where he had blessed so many with his love, kindness and religious spirit to be by the side of his glorious maker. Following his love for water, Paul served honorably and proudly in the US Navy for eight years. Paul married the love of his life in 1961, Norma Jean Murphy, and settled their roots in California and were blessed to cherish in life of three loving daughters. The family tree flourishes even brighter with the grace of seven wonderful grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. The presence of Paul alone was enough to earn your love, his respect and calm loving demeanor made him a great man. His joy of being with family, watching old western movies and his passion for fishing the Colorado River were a few of his greatest hobbies. Paul spent several years as a preacher and deacon in the First Baptist Church. In his final years of life, Paul and Norma followed their love for the warmth and scenic views of Arizona and lived the remainder of his life in Golden Valley. The family has set up a memorial service at Veteran's Memorial Park at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 29, 2022, open to those who were privileged to have known and loved him, and those wanting to pay their respects to Paul's life of service. An Honor Guard tribute followed by a few words from those blessed to have known Paul and a private celebration of life will take place after the ceremony. "Bless those who mourn, eternal God, with the comfort of your love that they may face each new day with hope and the certainty that nothing can destroy the good that has been given. May their memories become joyful, their days enriched with friendship, and their lives encircled by your love." |
