Paul Baxter

Paul L. Baxter, 54, of Davenport passed away June 14, 2018. A private family service is planned.

Paul Leonard Baxter was born November 16, 1963 to Hazel and Bill Baxter. He was employed at Roederer Moving Company for the past 13 years.

Paul was a man of few words with a shy, sweet smile that engaged many. He was especially dedicated to his mother and used his woodworking skills to make her tables and dresser drawers. On a moment’s notice he would drive home to help her weed the garden or rototill an ever-larger garden. He was known for his mechanical skills and finding unique ways to fix cars. He was loved by his family.

Paul is survived by eight siblings: Loretta Baxter (Casstedaro Simpson) of Racine, WI, Ellen (Dan) Hosmanek of Racine, WI, Joseph Baxter (Shirley Compton) of Caledonia, MN, Julie (Patrick) Gregory of Winona, MN, Frank Baxter (Heather Marin) of Winona, MN, Margaret Baxter (Alex Young) of Green Bay, WI, Donna (Kurt) Hopfensperger of Appleton, WI and Patrick Baxter of Orlando, FL. Paul also has many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Hazel and Bill; and three brothers: Cyril in 1964, Daniel in 1977 and Charlie in 1990.
