Paul Edward Medlin, 73, long time resident of Cleveland, passed away at his home on Monday, June 17, 2019.

He also did community service with the Bradley County Sherriff’s Department and was a security guard at the Church of God headquarters. He attended the Calvary Church of God.

Ledford and her husband Timothy; James Medlin and his wife Dana; grandchildren; Hunter Green, Timothy Ledford, Christian Medlin, Carson Medlin, Cayden Medlin, Kaydence Medlin and Kensley Austin. 

The Celebration of Paul’s life will be held on Friday, June 21, at 7 p.m. at Companion Funeral Home at 2415 Georgetown Road NW, Cleveland, Tn. 37311.

The Reverends Randy Bragg and Joe Sneed will be officiating with Roy Beck, Tim Gregg, Winston Ledford, Bill Stephenson, Christian Medlin, Carson Medlin, Cayden Medlin, Hunter Green and Austin Ledford serving as honorary pallbearers.
