Paul McGovern
d. September 6, 2017
Paul James McGovern, of Downingtown, PA passed away on September 6, 2017.
Born in Kingston, PA in 1984, he was the son of Kevin J. and Claire A. (nee Alexander) McGovern.
Paul was a talented musician on the piano and trumpet who marched to his own drummer. He was also a gifted photographer whose vision of the world was strongly individualistic but included others. He was always ready to help anyone in need, without fanfare or bringing attention to himself. He did this on his own, and through Scout Troop 52, where he was an Eagle Scout and a member of the Order of the Arrow, and the Loyal Order of Moose, Lodge 1153, where he served as a second year trustee and a Moose Rider.
He loved children and they responded in kind. He enjoyed playing with his cousins, niece and nephews, fishing with his father, and camping and playing disc golf and games with his friends. He will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved him.
Paul was the loving brother of Patricia M. Morrissey (Paul) and Kevin A. McGovern (Rachel Peazzoni) and the dear uncle of Lily, Joshua, and Leo.
Relatives and friends are invited to his Visitation at St. Joseph Church, 460 Manor Avenue, Downingtown, PA 9:30 - 11:00 AM, Thursday, September 14, 2017 followed by his Funeral Mass at 11:00 AM. Interment will be private.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Chester County, 825 Paoli Pike, Mailbox #6, West Chester, PA 19380, www.namichestercounty.org.
