March 7, 1962 – December 8, 2025
Paul B. Persson, 63, of Kenosha, WI, passed away on Monday, December 8, 2025, at Aurora Medical Center.
Born on March 7, 1962, in Cherry Valley, IL, he was the son of Howard and Shirley (Yerk) Persson.
On September 11, 1992, Paul married Klaudia Kuehn. Together, they took many weekend getaways to Keshena Casino, where he would play the slots. He also loved camping, which started as tent camping, then upgraded to a pop up, and eventually a trailer (with a bathroom) in their favorite locations: Blackhawk, Lazy Days, and Moose Lake. He loved to tinker in his garage, building birdhouses, having fish frys, or watching sports. He loved to go inland to fish and deer hunt. His solace was being surrounded by the water and woods.
Paul is survived by his wife, Klaudia, of 33 years; children, Mykel Robinson and Bradley Persson; mother, Shirley; sister, Carla (Steve) Smith; and sister-in-law, Cindy Persson.
He is preceded in death by his father, Howard, and brothers, Ray and David.
