Life story

He Went to Trion High School and while he was in school played football and was part of “The Dream Team” He was part of a phenomenal wrestling team and family! They as a team brought home 2 State Championships! Daegen Paul placed at State every year that he wrestled from the age of 5 til 18 except for 1! He graduated high school in May 2022 and went on to be a Linemen! Graduated Linemen school in December 2022 and also passed his CDL class! He started his dream job on February 27th 2023 with Five Star Electrical and really enjoyed learning from the guys on his crew! I loved when he would come home after work and tell me what he had learned that day! His goal was to work and learn and eventually transfer to North Georgia Electric here in our home town! One of our last conversations was he was going to ride a bull! He had been to the rodeo the night before his accident and decided he wanted to learn to ride a bull! Well if you knew Daegen Paul you know that is exactly what he would have done!! He spent all his summers on the lake riding jetskis from the time he was in middle school until that night that no one will ever forget happened! His Motto “I’m going to live my best life” and that he did! 19 years of an amazing life he lived! He was always always smiling and his smile would light up a room! He loved his family and friends more than anything! I never knew how many lives my babyboy touched until now and it’s unbelievable! He truly is one of a kind “ One Of The Good Ones”
