With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Paul Clinton Atkins, 79, of Williamsford, Ontario, on October 9, 2025. Paul was a loving father, devoted partner, and cherished friend. He brought laughter, loyalty, and kindness into the lives of many and will be remembered always for his big heart and easygoing nature.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Paul was a talented mechanical millwright who took great pride in his craft. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, tinkering with small engines, and taking on handyman projects of all kinds. Above all, Paul was a proud family man whose kindness, humor, and loyalty touched everyone he met.
Paul was predeceased by his parents, Evelyn and Joe Atkins, and his sister Kim Bishop. He was the proud father of Chris and Tammy, and a devoted Granddad to the late Cody, Tyanna, Tyson, and a loving great-grandfather to Acaszia. He will also be fondly remembered by his loving partner Beth Holdsworth, her children Carolyn, Rob, and Mike, loving Uncle to Ryan and Robyn Bishop. A special mention to his best friend Chad, who came into his life at the perfect time.
Paul was known for his easygoing spirit and love of good company — whether enjoying afternoons playing pool with the boys, cheering on his beloved Kansas City Chiefs, or savoring a good two-finger pour of scotch. He built lifelong friendships and leaves behind a legacy of warmth, laughter, and loyalty.
As per Paul’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no formal service.
