W. Paul Featsent 1941-2025

Paul was born May 5, 1941, in Sharon, Pa., a son of Wendell P. Sr. and Kathryn Wittenauer Featsent.

Paul was a loving, kind and generous soul who adored his five grandsons and was so proud of them. He enjoyed going on long walks and loved to travel with his wife Patty, especially to the Smoky Mountains. He will be greatly missed and forever loved by all of his family.

Paul will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by his family: his children, Jonathan (Ann) Featsent of Mentor and Marie (Michael) Perry of Hudson; and five grandchildren, Paul, Matthew, Brayden, Noah and Jacob.

He also leaves his sister, Kathleen Coates of Hubbard; sisters-in-law, Peggy Yeager and JoAnn Vargo Ball, both of Hubbard, and Roseann Modak of Niles; and several nieces and nephews.

Beside his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife.
