Paul Ryan Heaslip, age 68, died peacefully on October 4, 2023, after a good lunch and his usual afternoon nap at his home in Harding, MN. Paul was born to Helen and Paul Heaslip, in Duluth, MN, on January 18, 1955, and was the oldest of 7 children. He attended Esko High School and after a brief time in the Army, Paul was honorably discharged. Paul led a simple life that was riddled with the anguish of Schizophrenia. From a young age, his mind was not his own. Despite his difficult life, Paul loved his family and loved to study God’s word. Paul can now walk in heaven with his Lord and Savior whom he loved. As a family, we are happy to know that mental illness no longer defines him and that he is able to think with clarity.
