Obituary For Paul Herndon
Paul was born in Chatham County, NC to Robert and Myrtle Herndon. He was the youngest of nine.
Preceded in death by his parents, his grandchildren Kristen and Shane Johnson, sisters Violet Colclough, Grace Combs, and brothers W.R., John, and George Herndon.
Survived by the love of his life, Becky. They were married for 55 wonderful years. Also survived by his three daughters, Lisa Johnson (Keith), Wendy Starnes (Jason), and Paula Bowman (Jason) and his bonus son, Marty Colclough (Karen). And his heart, and the joy of his world: his grandchildren, Corey Herndon (Samantha), Dustin Starnes, Cody Starnes (Kasey), Kristen Splees (Ben), Kaitlyn Elliott (Zach), Jase Bowman, Kaitlyn Marshall (David), Abbi Averitt (Josh), Gracie Colclough, and great grand-daughter Avery Grace Elliott. He is also survived by his sister Marie McCorkle (Pete), brothers Tommy Herndon (Diane), and Charles Herndon, and many nieces, nephews, and friends. And his very best furry friends, Luna and Missy.
We will all miss him dearly! He was our hero and very best friend. No matter where or what time of day, he was there for us with the best advice and hugs. Paul was loved by many and would help anyone in need. He never left I Love You unsaid. We knew! Best and Coolest Husband, Daddy, and Papa ever. I'm sure he is in Heaven telling God exactly how he is going to mow the grass to make it more perfect. Until we meet again, we LOVE you with all our hearts.

My hero! My only comfort is knowing he is in heaven with Kristen and Shane and holding them tightly. We knew this day would come but we never knew it would be this hard without him. It has only been a week, but he was our world. We miss him more and more every day. Love you Daddy! ~Lisa

The man the myth the legend! My dad was one of a kind and I miss him dearly. I want you to know one thing about my daddy that only few know. He was a tough as they come until it came to his girls. He would turn into a big teddy bear with a smile so big it would hurt his face. Best daddy ever!!! Wendy
