Paul Thomas Gibson II

Paul Thomas Gibson II, 52, of Martinsville, passed away on Saturday, May 31st, 2025 at home peacefully. He was born on October 5th, 1972 in Indianapolis to Paul Gibson and Margie Day. Paul was a beloved father, son, friend, brother, husband, and papaw. He was a strong provider, a deep and loyal lover, and a kind, gentle soul. Known for being the first one awake and the last to call it a night, Paul lived life with purpose, generosity, and heart. He had passion for the open road and cherished riding his Harley and driving his Nova. A true outdoorsman, Paul loved camping, fishing and hunting, and found joy in time spent with family and friends. He was always working on something - whether it was building, fixing, or dreaming up a new project. His hands were rarely still. Paul was the kind of man you could always count on - quick to lend a hand, never asking for anything in return. He was genuine and thoughtful, always taking time to listen and consider other perspectives. His wisdom was matched only by his humor, and those who knew him best would describe him as silly, inspiring, deeply respectful, and remarkably wise. Professionally, Paul took great pride in his work. He was a proud owner of Grey Wolf Firearms in Avon, co-owner of Indy Elevator, and a dedicated member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 481. His work ethic, skill, and pride in his craft left a lasting impact in every role he took on. Paul Gibson leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, hard work, and integrity - and a community of people who will miss him deeply and remember him always. Paul was preceded in death by his sister, Laura Thomas; maternal grandparents, Doris and John Day; paternal grandparents, Alpha Mae and Monroe Gibson. Survivors include his loving wife of 30 years, Patty Gibson; daughters, Ashlee, Amber and Alexis Gibson; son, Stephen Lawson; mother, Margie Day; father, Paul Gibson (wife, Sandra); sister, Tami Faulk; grandchildren, Rowann Dodd, Alainna Dodd; and several extended family members he loved very much. Visitation will be held from Noon until 2:00pm on Thursday, June 5, 2025, in Light Memorial & Funeral Chapel, Monrovia. Burial will immediately follow in Clayton Cemetery, where a funeral procession will accompany Paul on his last ride in the Harley Hearse. Fellow Harley riders are encouraged to ride along.
