PAUL LESTER KINSER
IN REMEMBRANCE of PAUL LESTER KINSER, a beloved husband, father, Opa, brother, and friend. Born April 28th, 1954 in Tulare, California. He went on his Final ride on January 2nd, 2025. Paul touched the lives of all who knew him with his tough guy attitude (really a big teddy bear), work ethic, humor, and unwavering love and support for those around him.
Paul was the youngest child of Henry and Ethel Kinser, who moved from Eufaula OK to California in 1945. Immediately after graduating from TUHS, he joined the US Army and was first stationed in Brunssum, Holland. It was there that he met the love of his life, Anne M. Quaedvlieg. They had two sons, Leroy Kinser of Modesto and Eric Kinser of Tulare. After a successful 12+year career in the Army, Paul left in 1984 as a Sergeant and began working for Kings County Trucking/ Ruan. He was honored as Safe Driver of the Year for logging over 1 million miles on the road.
Beyond his professional achievements, Paul was known for his love of motorcycles, camping, and spending time with his family and friends. His warm smile and infectious laughter will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Paul leaves behind his wife of 50 years, Anne Kinser, his two sons, and five grandchildren, Dylan, Taryn, Hunter, Blake, and Kaydence. He is also survived by his older brother, Tom Kinser of Visalia, older sister Etta Abraham of Tulare, niece Tammy Juarez, and nephews Michael Kinser of Clovis and Anthony Kinser of Visalia.
As we come together on February 1st 2025 to celebrate the life of Paul Lester Kinser, let us remember the joy he brought to each of us and the lasting impact he had on our lives. May his memory live on in our hearts forever. Rest in peace, Paul.
