Paul E. Ganoung

November 30, 1954 – March 26, 2026

Paul E. Ganoung, 71, of Ocala, Florida, passed away on March 26, 2026. A man of deep and unwavering faith, Paul lived his life with a devotion that was evident to everyone who knew him. He found strength and guidance in the Word, studying his Bible faithfully every single day.

Beyond his spiritual life, Paul was a man of joy. He possessed a wonderful sense of humor and truly relished the pleasure found in laughter. He often shared a smile and a lighthearted spirit with those around him, famously noting his favorite quote, "It's hard to be humble, when you're as great as I am."

Paul was deeply dedicated to his family and his work. He enjoyed time spent with loved ones and was a loyal and proud Miami Dolphins fan. For over 30 years, he served as an Installation and Repair Technician with Embarq (formerly Sprint), where he was respected for his commitment and reliability.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Paul M. Ganoung and Leona L. Ganoung. He is survived by his siblings: Patricia L. Moore, Lois A. Ganoung, Richard O. Ganoung (Debbie), and Jean E. Sands (Perry); his nieces and nephews: Malena Gabhart, Tammy Moore, Jason Ganoung, Joel Gabhart, Jason Sands, Bryan Hager, Craig Ganoung, Nicholas Hager, and Timothy Gabhart; and many more extended family.

A private burial for immediate family will be held in Maryville, Tennessee, where he will be laid to rest alongside his beloved parents.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in his memory.
