Paul Damian Kinsler

Paul Damian Kinsler, born on July 7, 1955, in Detroit, MI, passed away on Saturday, September 6, 2025, at his home in West Branch, MI at the age of 70. Paul lived a life characterized by hard work, strong community ties, and a deep love for his family. He lived in the West Branch/Clear Lake area since 1990, formerly of Clawson, MI.

He graduated from Clawson High School in 1973 and dedicated 15 years of his life to serving as a mechanic for the City of Troy. A testament to his commitment to the community, Paul was also a proud supporter of the Lions Club in Rose City and member of Rose City Historical Society. After retirement, he continued to contribute to his community by working at the Foster Township Transfer Station in Clear Lake.

In his leisure time, Paul found joy in a variety of activities, frequently visiting the Rose City Cafe, hunting, and indulging in his passion for fixing lawn mowers and small engine repair. However, it was his time spent with family that brought him the greatest happiness of all.

Paul is survived by his beloved daughter, Tara Mason of Rose City, and his cherished grandchildren, Ava, Levi, and Alyvia Glover. He is also remembered by his sisters, Barb Cudney of Ormond Beach, FL, and Michelle (David) Potts of Troy, MI, as well as his brothers, Anthony (Laura) Kinsler of Lapeer, MI, Vince (Jeannie) Kinsler of Ormond Beach, FL, Mike (Anne) Kinsler of Richmond, MI, Phillip (Pam) Kinsler of Lake Orion, MI, and Jon (Susan) Kinsler of Waterford, MI. Additionally, he leaves behind many nieces and nephews who held a special place in his heart.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Anthony and Evelyn (Zehel) Kinsler.

His warmth, humor, and dedication to family and community will be profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Cremation has taken place, and a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
