<p>Colonel <em>Paul Stock Feyereisen</em> (Retired) left to be with his heavenly father on July 12, 2023. Growing up the oldest of four children to a career Army officer led Paul to choose a career in the Army as well. After graduating from West Point, Class of 1969, with a B.S. in engineering, he served a tour in Vietnam and Cambodia. He eventually completed an M.A. in Middle Eastern affairs from George Washington University. He served 26 years as an infantryman and Ranger in notable places like Fort Hood, TX; Fort Benning, GA; Fort Meade, MD; Fort Leavenworth, KS; the Pentagon, and the U.S. embassies in Morocco and Oman. After retiring from his distinguished army career, he served in various leadership capacities for SunTrust Bank, the Atlanta Housing Authority, and Draper & Associates for the next 31 years, with extensive experience in facility and project management. He directed the project design, building and operations of the 1996 Olympic Athlete Welcome and Accreditation Center. In 2009 Paul started his successful home inspection business, Southern Homes Inspections Plus. While succeeding in his own company, as an American Safety and Health Institute inspector, he contracted with other inspection companies. Due to his experience and knowledge, he was sought after to teach, advise, and mentor other inspectors. Paul was still active with his inspection career until his death.</p>
<p>Paul led a life of service and truly embodied the mottos of the organizations he was so dedicated to: mottos such as the Boy Scouts’ “Be prepared”; West Point’s “Duty, Honor, Country”; the U.S. Army’s “This We Will Defend”; and the Infantry’s “Follow Me.” He was committed to the Boy Scouts and its ideals for much of his life. He supported many young men, including his two sons, Paul M. and Drew, in their advancement to Eagle Scout. They feel he always tried to reflect the qualities of the Scout Law, including being trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. These reflections in his life also led his daughter, Melissa, to continue his legacy of military service in the Air Force. His qualities of hard work, diligence, thoroughness, leadership, patience, frugality, and a “can do anything” attitude allowed Paul to succeed at most things of his choosing.</p>
<p>Paul used all the qualities he embodied and was actively involved in his church, serving as an usher, volunteering for facilities, and helping to promote the annual celebration of Veterans Day.</p>
<p>Paul is survived by his wife, Anne Feyereisen of Atlanta, GA; his son Paul Matthew Feyereisen and Paul’s wife, Julie Feyereisen, of Fort Myers, FL; his daughter, Melissa Laughrey, and Melissa’s husband, Ian Laughrey, of Naples, FL; his son Drew Feyereisen and Drew’s wife, Melanie Feyereisen, of Crawfordville, GA; his stepdaughter Brittney Economos and Brittney’s husband, Theo Economos, of Atlanta; his stepdaughter Morgan Schmidt and Morgan’s husband, Jared Schmidt, of Roswell, GA; and his 11 beloved grandchildren. He was predeceased by his stepdaughter Breanne Cunningham.</p>
<p>Mike Colacicco remembers: “I met Paul at the Prep School in 1964, located in an old World War II hospital at Fort Belvoir, VA. We continued our trek together as original members of Company B-3, culminating in graduation on June 4,1969. His most notable trait as a cadet was his extraordinary ability to sleep any place and at any time, including the classroom. Years later, when I was assigned to History Department faculty, my boss, Colonel Roy Flint, asked me if Paul Feyereisen was my classmate. I responded, ‘yes.’ He remembered Paul sleeping standing up during his Military Art classes. Yes, Paul was a most memorable sleeper. Other classmates recall that he would sleep until Taps, then study all night. At our recent 55th reunion, the attending B-3 Bandits raised our glasses in salute to our departed friend, Paul Stock Feyereisen. ‘Be Thou at Peace.’”</p>
