An urnside memorial service with military honors will be held for Paul Lee Weeks, 84, of North Bend, on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. at Ocean View Memory Gardens Cemetery, 1525 Ocean Boulevard in Coos Bay.
Paul was born on April 30, 1940 in Bandon, Oregon to Virgil Lee Weeks and Grace Lucile ( Hood ) Weeks. He passed away on May 16, 2024 in Coos Bay, Oregon.
Paul grew up in Greenacres and later moved into Coos Bay. He graduated from Marshfield High School, class of 1958. After graduation he was drafted into the Army and following basic training he spent the rest of his military service in Incheon, Korea. After his honorable discharge he returned to Coos Bay and worked at Al Pierce mill until it closed. He then went to work for Youngs Trucking and D and H Logging. After being injured, he changed professions again and worked for 6 years driving passenger bus for Al Porter Transportation, traveling from Coos Bay to Ontario, Oregon. Paul also worked for 20 years for Tompkins and Weeks driving oil tanker trucks. Paul was a longtime member of the Coquille Valley Elks.
In 1979 Paul met Judy, a lady that took his eye and would become his wife. In 2010 they sold their mobile home and hit the road for 10 years. They spent 7 winters down in Pahrump, Nevada. After traveling Paul was having some heart issues so they returned to Lakeside for 2 years. During that time Paul’s health continued to decline so they left the fifth wheel and in May of 2023 they moved into Evergreen Independent Living in North Bend.
Paul is survived by his wife, Judy; brother-in-law, Mike Lougheed of Medford; several nephews; and his little lap companion, Jasper.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Virgil and Grace Weeks; brother, Steve Weeks; and sister-in-law, Faye Weeks.
