Paul Lewis Fouraker

DECEMBER 23, 1962 - JULY 08, 2026

Paul Lewis Fouraker, 63, of Topeka, KS, passed away peacefully on July 8th, 2026, surrounded by the people who loved him most.

He was born on December 23rd, 1962, and was a proud graduate of Hayden High School. He was the kind of man who told it like it was. A little stubborn, a little rough around the edges, and never one to sugarcoat his opinions..but if you know Paul, you knew there was a big heart behind that tough exterior.

Nothing in this world mattered more to Paul than his family. His daughters were his greatest pride, and he loved them dearly, and treasured the time spent with his loved ones.

Paul enjoyed life’s simple pleasures. He loved the freedom of riding a motorcycle, the peace of a day spent fishing, and cheering on his Kansas City Chiefs every chance he got. He didn’t need fancy things to be happy, as long as he had good company, a fishing pole, a motorcycle, or a football game.

He is survived by his longtime partner, Debra Flowers; his daughters, Emma Fouraker and Abigail Flowers; his stepchildren, Alexandria Flowers and Nathan (Robyn) Campbell; his sister, Denise Cook; several grandchildren, nieces, nephews, along with many other family members and friends.

Paul was preceded in death by his parents, Galen and Marceil Fouraker, and his sister Connie Christenson.

Paul wasn’t a perfect man, but he was real. He loved deeply, laughed loudly, and lived life on his own terms. Those lucky enough to know him will remember his stubborn streak, his sense of humor, and, most of all, the love he had for his family. Though he is gone, his stories, his spirit, and the memories he leaves behind will never be forgotten.

Ride free, Paul. You will be loved, missed, and remembered always.

A celebration of Pauls life will be held at 10:00am on Saturday, August 1st, 2026, at Mater Dei Parish, Assumption Church. Family and friends are invited to join us for a meal following the service at the CRC Care Center at Lundgren in Oakland, where stories, laughter, and memories of Paul can be shared.
