In Loving Memory of Paul John “Pjay” Snook
Gone Too Soon, Forever Remembered
With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we share the heartbreaking news of the passing of Paul John Snook, lovingly known to all as Pjay, who tragically left us on Friday at the age of 29. The news of his sudden departure has sent waves of grief through all who knew and loved him. Pjay’s presence was a light in the lives of many—his energy, his warmth, and his kindness left an unforgettable impression on everyone he met.
Pjay was more than just a beloved son, partner, and friend—he was a truly special soul. He had a rare ability to bring people together, to make them feel seen, valued, and appreciated. His laughter was infectious, his heart was generous, and his loyalty to those he loved was unwavering. Whether it was a quiet moment with someone he cared about or a gathering full of life and joy, Pjay had a way of making every occasion memorable.
He was deeply loved by his partner, Rebecca, whose bond with him was built on love, laughter, and countless memories that will now be held even closer. His mother, who cherished him more than words can ever express, is facing an unimaginable loss that no parent should ever have to endure. The pain of this tragedy is immense, yet in the love that surrounds Pjay’s family, we hope they find some measure of comfort and strength.
To his friends, Pjay was a beacon of good times, shared dreams, and unconditional support. He was the person you could turn to in moments of joy and in times of hardship. He gave so much of himself to the people around him—his time, his heart, and his unwavering belief in the good in others.
In the days ahead, we invite everyone who cherished Pjay to come together to celebrate his life, to support one another, and most importantly, to support his grieving family. This is a time not only to mourn, but to honor Pjay’s memory by embracing the love, connection, and community that he so deeply valued.
Plans for a farewell service to honor Pjay’s life will be shared with friends and loved ones soon. It is the hope of his family that he is remembered not in sorrow, but in the light of everything he gave to this world—the joy, the kindness, the memories, and the love.
Though Pjay’s journey ended far too soon, the legacy of who he was—his spirit, his laughter, his love—will never fade. He lives on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know him and will forever be missed.
Rest peacefully, Pjay.
You were truly one of a kind, and this world was better with you in it.
