FALMOUTH â Tuesday afternoon, the Facebook page of Ebels Hardware had a message many were hoping not to see.
For weeks, things have been quiet regarding the health of Paul Ebels. The word was no news is good news and the hope was eventually they would say Paul was coming home. That didnât happen.
News started to come out on March 24 about a family emergency for the Ebels family. It sent shock waves throughout the Falmouth community. Both Dave and Paul were sick. So sick that they needed to be airlifted to a Grand Rapids hospital. Dave never made the trip. Before he could leave, Dave passed away due to complications related to COVID-19.
Paul Henry Ebels, age 53, of Falmouth, MI, passed away peacefully and was welcomed into the arms of his Savior on April 20, 2021. Paul was born to Harold and Bernice Ebels on September 12, 1967. He married his high school sweetheart, Gayle, on September 5, 1986. They have three children together, Abby, Luke, and Sam; one son-in-law, Jim, and two young grandchildren, Levi and Jesse DeZeeuw. Paul loved his family and the opportunity to co-own and work at Ebels Hardware with his brother and best friend, Dave. He was so grateful to live his life in the place God had put him and work to serve his community and, in doing so, serve his God. He served as a deacon at Prosper CRC, and on the Clam Union Township Fire Department, where he most enjoyed ordering and lighting off the July 4 fireworks show. He loved selling hardware necessities to folks who were in need, even if he knew he might lose money on it. Paul loved working every day with his family and employees that he considered family. H
