Paul Dexter Kendall, aged 84, departed this world peacefully on July 10, 2026, in Provo, Utah. Born on August 24, 1941, in Bellingham, Washington, Paul’s journey led him to a vibrant upbringing in Southern California.

A dedicated machinist and electrical maintenance technician, Paul spent his career shaping the future, retiring in 2002 after years of commitment at Baxter Health Care Medical Group in Irvine, California. His hands built more than machines; they crafted a legacy of precision and reliability.

On August 23, 1963, he married Roxanna Hanson in Sunnymead, California, embarking on a love story that spanned 62 beautiful years. Together, they created a life filled with love and adventure.

In 2004, Paul and Roxanna began a new chapter in Fairview, Utah, where Paul’s spirit of service flourished as a volunteer with the Fairview Fire Department. His dedication touched the lives of many, echoing his kindness throughout the community.

Paul leaves behind his beloved wife, Roxanna of Fairview; his cherished daughter, Janice LeAnn (Ron) Lay of Salt Lake City, Utah; his devoted son, Heston Paul Kendall of Post Falls, Idaho; and his adored grandchildren, Garrett (Taryn), Travis (Tina), Carita and Stephanie. He now follows the gentle footsteps of his parents, Jack Jerald Kendall and Lillian Kendall, who preceded him in passing.

A Celebration of Life will be held August 29, 2026 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Rasmussen Mortuary (96 N 100 W, Mt. Pleasant, UT). Online condolences at rasmussenmortuary.com
