Paul Richard Metcalf, 54, of Baldwinsville, NY, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, surrounded by his loving family. Born and raised in Carthage, NY, he was a proud graduate of Carthage Central High School (1988) and Mercersburg Academy (1989). Paul completed his education at St. Lawrence University, Class of 1993, and was a member of Beta Theta Pi Fraternity. In 2002, he was united in marriage to the former Colleen L. O'Brien, a blessed union of 23 years. For the past 15 years, Paul worked as a Senior Benefits Advisor for the Alera Group, formerly Relph Benefit Advisors.

Paul was an unassuming, kind, and gentle soul. A true outdoorsman, he was an avid hunter who also enjoyed camping, fishing and boating on Brantingham Lake. Paul's true passion was golf, whether teaching the game he loved or playing with his friends, and especially his dad. He felt lucky that he was able to golf in Ireland last summer, "the best trip of his life".

Paul's first priority was his family. Known as "Mr. Tailgate" and head of the cheer squad, he proudly followed his daughters' lacrosse and soccer games.

Surviving to cherish his memory are his devoted wife, Colleen L. Metcalf, his two daughters, Meghan and Taylor, his parents, Gerald and Elaine "Lonnie" Metcalf, all of Baldwinsville, NY, his grandmother, Katherine Kraushaar of Liverpool, NY, sister, Ellen (Mitchell) Ames of Moore, SC, brother, Mark (Traci) Metcalf of Wilsonville, OR, many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, in-laws, and a wide group of close friends.

Calling hours will be held on Saturday, January 11, 2025 from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm at the Maurer Funeral Home Moyers Corners, 3541 State Rt 31, Baldwinsville, NY 13027 with funeral services to follow at 3:00 pm.
