Paul Davis is no stranger to tragedy. Death is a difficult time that all of us must endure as we rehearse the past, remember the sweet moments of life, ponder on the precious gift given to us all and purpose to live with our all in the future. Paul Davis is a man who can feel, a minister who can heal and a generationally experienced human being who can help you through the season of death. Paul was raised by his grandparents (who he cared for in their old age until death, after which he spoke at both of their funerals with tears in his eyes). Paul's grandfather, a U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Paul Krofchik, taught Paul the law of kindness and modeled compassion before him for thirty years. Paul lost his mother (a drug addict and alcoholic) when she was run over by a drunk driver late one night. Again, generationally in touch, Paul is able to speak to all ages, ethnicities, religious groups and creeds because his heart bleeds for humanity. Because Paul can relate, feel and be real - he is frequently asked to speak at such occasions as his words both comfort and heal.
