Sad news ... YellowJacket
Those who are members of the Former DPF Group will be saddened to hear that our friend YellowJacket (Paul) passed away early morning 9th October USA time.
His wife Merlyne has requsted that I pass this news on to his ‘online family’.
While we know he is now free of pain and with his Maker, as humans we will miss him and his wonderful sense of humour, his courage, and his encouragement. He touched so many lives. I admire him so much for rising above his disabilities and looking for ways to still make a difference. Till recently he was out photographing animals in the local shelter in order to maximise their opportunity of finding a home.
I have expressed our love and support to his wife Merlyne, and said I would pass on any comments from his ‘online family’ in about a week’s time. So please feel free to add any expressions of sympathy and support to this Journal which you would like passed on to Paul’s family.
I know Merlyne would also appreciate your prayers – she speaks of her unpreparedness to be alone.
We celebrate Paul’s photography and life in the Former DPF Group overview with Features of his work, and Paul as our Featured Artist.

Dear Merlyne, although I am sad that he is gone from our lives, his memory will go on. And I know that God will give you the peace that passes all understanding. And the strength and grace that only He can give. He has promised that!! So, we send our love, from me, Elaine and my friend Mairi…who were friends and co-workers with Paul, for our Lord, and in photography. God will help you, I know He will. Hang on to His words of promise, and love. And where ever you go, God goes WITH you, so you are NEVER alone!!! NEVER!! Hugs… XXXX and love….

I feel like I’ve lost a member of my family. Even when Paul broke his artificial leg he made it into a humorous story. In spite of his difficulties he found a way to continue life to the fullest and was such an inspiration to me. I always valued and appreciated his comments. His humor and spark of life is ageless, I will miss him greatly.

Dear Merlyne,
I am deeply saddened to hear of Paul’s passing. Although I never met Paul in person we photographed many of the same areas here in Washington and occasionally discussed our adventures in photography. I will also miss our friendly gibes at each other (I’m a west sider) and his comments and advice in regards to my images. As photographers we put a little of our selves in every one of our images. Every time you look at one of Paul’s photographs you will be looking at what made Paul. We will all miss the pleasure of looking at his images. I wish you well in the days to come.

Dear Merlyne
I am deeply saddened to hear of your sudden loss of Paul. As I went in to tell my husband the news I was surpised to feel tears running down my cheeks. It is amazing how the extended redbubble family affects our lives. Though we never knew Paul in person, his strength, determination and his honesty were such an inspiration. How bereft you must feel at this moment! Please know that there are many of us here who will be thinking of you and praying for you in the coming days, weeks and months. You will have the warm good wishes of many people from around the world. But more importantly, God says He will never leave us nor forsake us. Paul is at peace now with his Maker, and I pray the Holy Spirit will be your comfort as you pass through the grief of missing your mate. Our love is with you and your family Merlyne…and farewell, Yellow Jacket, our dear friend…til we meet again…

Merlyne, my sincere condolences to you and your family at this difficult and sad time. Paul has been called back home where he will celebrate his life with the Creator of ALL life. While many tears will be shed and sadness from your loss will be heartfelt by so many, may the almighty Lord give you and yours, the strength to also celebrate the many glorious memories Paul left behind. God be with you now, and always.
YJ will be missed :-(

I feel very sorry for the loss to Paul’s family and to our loss too. Paul was one of the first to comment on my work when I joined Redbubble and I immediately felt this warmth from a complete stranger. I would like to think that Redbubble made a difference to Paul’s latter enjoyment of life; I know by the comments here that he made a difference to ours.

Dear Merlyne & Family.
My condolences & prayers to you all on Paul’s passing.
I’m sure I can speak for everyone in saying that whilst we never actually met Paul. We still knew him.
He was a great man. We could tell this from his work & our online chats. We were all richer for knowing him. He will be very missed.
I for one, was proud to be part of his ‘other’ family.
My prayers to you & your family in the times that are ahead.
Blessings to you

Philip Golan
We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new,
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name,
Now all we have are memories
And your picture in a frame.
Some may think you are forgotten
Though on earth you are no more,
But in our memory you are with us
As you always were before.
A million times we’ve thought of you
A million times we’ve cried,
If loving could have saved you
You would have never died.
You left us beautiful memories
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you
You are always at our side.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone,
Part of us went with you
On the day God called you home.
Forgive me Lord, I’ll always weep
For the best friend I loved, but could not keep.

TIME & LIFE have always been short and against the human nature and purpose. It’s just about a year I knew Paul and suddenly it’s a deep silence here. I feel short to put my words for my friend who never felt short for us.

Dear Merlyne & family, I just arrived home from a few days away to this sad, sad news. Like many folks here, I had a special fondness for Paul, as a disabled man myself I felt that more than anyone else in my life Paul understood and was encouraging to me in such a positive way as to help lift me from depression. I join with the many others in saying that our prayers are with you at this difficult time. I look farward to meeting up with him one day. Max :)

Your husband encouraged me greatly. I have a spinal disease with two ruptured discs that I incurred during work. I have an on-the-job-injury. Obviously, 8 years later, I have no way to support myself. My 18 year old son enlisted and will leave in November to begin his training. I was a mess, until I discovered Redbubble and its wonderful members. Your husband being the one who inspired me the most. Living and loving with his disabilities. He helped me get the courage to pray more earnestly, and to get out and endure the pain if I must. May you and all the family know that he left an everlasting impression on my life. Because of Him, I live again,
God be with you all,
Sarai

I did not know Paul that close. We’ve exchanged a few comments on eachothers work in DPF and here on Redbubble. From what I’ve read by those who knew him more than I, I can clearly see that he was a loved and respected person. A great man!. I’m positively sure that he’ll be missed by many. I suddenly wish that I knew him better. It would certainly have been a great honour for me. Madam. I can imagine what you’re feeling at the moment and I cannot do more than sincerely send you and the rest of the family, my condolences, with a promise that I shall remember Dear Paul and you all, in my prayers.
May God support and Bless you during these sad times.
