Paul Workinger

On Saturday, March 7th, 2020 Paul Workinger, loving husband, father and Papa passed away at age 67. Paul was born on November 7th, 1952 in Eugene, Oregon to Howard & Rosella Workinger. On September 1, 1973 he married his wife, Charlene Knoles, and together they raised 4 children, Luke, Autumn, and twins David and Spring.  He started Rainbow Carpet Cleaning in 1973 and it gave him so much pride to run this family business with his wife, his children and their spouses, and even his grandchildren. 

Paul was dedicated to his faith as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses and always put energy into taking care of others.  He always worked hard to be the best son, brother, uncle, husband, father, papa, boss and friend he could possibly be.  He was known for his loyalty, giving spirit and ability to always greet you with a smile and a hug. His existence revolved around teaching and taking care of others.

Paul loved learning and took full advantage of filling his mind with everything from spiritual encouragement, to self improvement, to biographies of those he looked up to, and even learning to play the piano (multiple times).

Paul was preceded in death by his father, Howard and his brother, David.  He is survived by his mother, Rosella, his sister, Janie, his wife, Charlene, and his children and their spouses Luke & Sherry, Autumn & James, David & Janelle, and Spring & Allen. Also by his five grandchildren Neci, Riley, Jaxon, Ruby and Carter. As well as lots of nieces and nephews.

He cherished each and every single relationship he had. Paul was devoted to his faith, family and friends in everything he did.
