Paul Darling Bersche went home to be with Jesus on March 13th, at the age of 87.

Paul was born on November 4th, 1936, to Gervase and Jessie Bersche. He married his high school sweetheart Carolyn August 24th, 1955, and they were happily married for 68 years.

Everything Paul did was either in service to his family or his faith. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was also a pastor, a mentor, a writer, and a friend to so many, and he worked tirelessly to minister to his community. Paul was a man of faith, and his memory lives on in the hearts of all the people he touched. He will be deeply missed.

Paul is survived by his son Kevin, his daughter-in-law Jane (wife of his late son, Tim), his grandchildren Benj (Marielle), Jill, Jeremiah (Dani), and Luke, his great-grandchildren Damian and Jamila, and his brother James. He is preceded in death by his wife, Carolyn, his eldest son, Timothy, his grandson Mark, and his brothers Joseph and John.

Following his wishes, cremation has already taken place. There will be a memorial service to celebrate his life at Lifepoint Church in Waterford Township at 11 am, April 6th, and a luncheon to follow.

Please keep the Bersche family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
