It is with heavy hearts that our family announces the passing of Paul at the age of 64. Paul is lovingly remembered by Gloria, his wife of 36 years, their children John (Amanda), Alexandra (Ryan), and Evan, his sister Cathy (Brian), many nieces and nephews, and mother and father in law, Kathy and Alex Horvat. Paul is predeceased by his parents, John and Carol Maland, as well as his brother, Dennis, and sister, Barb.
Paul was born in Edmonton and spent his childhood in Devon. He and his family made Leduc their home for over 35 years. He was a devoted teacher for 30 years in Wetaskiwin and Devon and was loved by his colleagues and students, with many of them becoming lifelong friends. Paul enjoyed life to the fullest through his love of family, travel, cars, planes, music, skiing, and being out on the boat.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Paul’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society.
A celebration of Paul’s life will be held on September 1, 2025 at 2:00pm at Telford House, 4907 46th Street, Leduc, AB.
