Paul Marvin Patton II

Obituary For Paul Marvin Patton II

Paul M. Patton II, affectionately known as Fella, departed his earthly life on February 28, 2025, at his residence in Orlando, Florida. He was born to his parents, Mary Talley Patton and Paul M. Patton, on May 5, 1979. Paul was the baby of the family. He was definitely a “Mama's Boy” and he didn't care who knew...neither did his mom!

He was a people person and had the gift of gab. He could talk his way into and out of anything. Paul was everyone's favorite... the life of the party. He loved to eat, especially French fries. He ate French fries with everything! If you didn't know, Fella loved Ohio State Football which is why many in attendance are sporting OSU attire to honor him. O-H!!!

Paul attended St. Patrick's School, Cardinal Mooney High School, and Youngstown State University. He loved all sports, playing football, basketball, and running track while at Mooney. Paul loved his family, especially being the best uncle to his nieces. He was the most loyal friend and Uncle Paulie to many of his friends' children. Paul had a unique way of making everyone feel like they were the center of his world.

Paul liked to do many things, but his favorite pastime was watching THE OHIO STATE football team. He loved the BUCKEYES. If you've ever watched a game with him, he would pace back and forth during the game if the Buckeyes weren't winning and excessively clapped when they scored. O-H!!!

Fella was part of Cardinal Mooney High School's graduating class of 1997. His journey took him from the steel town of Youngstown to the sunshine of Orlando, Florida, where he lived out his passions and created heartfelt memories. In 1998, he participated in the Disney College Program at Walt Disney World, which inspired him to move to Orlando, FL, for the past 27 years. He loved Disney! It must be stated again- Fella LOVED The Ohio State University Football Team!

Paul was a good person, son, uncle, and friend! He was the life of the party and brought so much joy to the people who came into his life! He will be missed deeply from his loved ones, family, and friends. He leaves to cherish his memory his parents, sisters Sonia Patton (Corey) of Youngstown, Angelia Rue (Raymond) of Liberty; devoted nieces Ashley Patton of Orlando, FL. and Chyna Davis (Michael) of Iowa City, IA; aunts Patricia Patton of Bowling Green, OH and Theresa Talley of Murfreesboro, TN; and his partner of many years, Nancy Massi (Jackie, JJ, Jasmine) of Orlando, FL. He also leaves devoted friends Cliff and Laura Shimer of Orlando, Fl. Paul had an expansive extended family in Orlando. Special friends include Abe Otero, Christopher Rivera, Todd Smith, Justin Padilla, Amy Bochert, Paul Phillips, and Olga and Ian Szabo of New Jersey.

As Paul entered eternity he was reunited with his sister Felicia Patton Davis, nephew Corey Andre Davis, grandmother Cleo Talley, grandparents Artie and Carlena Patton, uncles DeWayne Talley, Julius Patton, Artie Patton, Leonard Patton, Ronald Patton, and James Patton; aunts Miranda Talley, Sandra Watson, Barbara Patton and Connie Patton; and "brother from another mother" Guy Montana.
