LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Paul Thomas Mongi passed unexpectedly on Sunday, Aug. 17, 2014.
He was the beloved son of Albert and Diana Mongi; brother to Kristine Valencia, Adrienne Mongi-Clark and Laura McGrath; grandson to Bert and Barbara Gomes; and brother to James Mongi.
Paul will be remembered as a gentle, sensitive soul who had, among many gifts and talents, a remarkable natural ability for drums and music. His sense of humor and quick wit will be really missed by all who knew him.
His reserved exterior and shyness did not always allow others to see his true desire to love and to be loved.
Those who loved him knew his sensitive feelings for others' suffering and his gentle way with animals.
He endured difficult challenges in life. Although the battles he fought were tremendously hard, he won't be remembered by those things, but rather by the beautiful person that he was.
We anxiously await to see him at his fullest potential, enjoying life when he is made new.
A gathering will be held at the Mongi residence at 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30.
