Paul Augustine Moran, Jr., 62, of Benton, Arkansas went to be with his Lord August 27, 2018. He was born September 28, 1955 in Washington D.C. to the late Mary (Bailey) and Paul Augustine Moran, Sr.
Paul was a member of First Pentecostals of Benton. He received his Bachelor of Theology from Texas Bible College. Paul served in every phase of ministry- from Sunday School, youth pastor, assistant pastor, and pastor. He served as pastor of Calvert Lighthouse Tabernacle in Prince Frederick, Maryland for over seventeen years. He made many friends and fond memories in District Heights, Maryland. Paul loved his grandchildren, special dog, "Queenie", and spending time with his family. He enjoyed watching movies and listening to music. The Eagles were his favorite group-he gave his twin daughters tickets to see them live in concert for their birthday, which was one of their favorite gifts from him. Paul loved to travel and took vacations to California, Greece, and Cancun. Paul didn't know how much of an impact he made on others or how many lives he touched.
Preceding Paul in death are his parents; sisters, Margaret Niland and Kathy Eaby; and brothers-in-law, Jack Gill and Gary Fleming.
He leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife of forty-three years, Brunella Moran of Benton; son, Paul Moran and wife Lisa of Benton; twin-daughters, April Morgan and husband Shawn of Arkadelphia, Arkansas and Angel Eddleman and husband Scott of Benton; four (plus) grandchildren: Mary Morgan, Owen Morgan, Jose' Moran, and Raquel Moran, and many other children who called him "Pop Pop" that he adopted by love; and a host of family and friends who love Paul and will miss him always.
