July 28, 1981 – August 2, 2026
Paul Warren Wanstrom, 45, passed away on August 2, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family. He was born on July 28, 1981, in Arco, Idaho, to David and Nancy Wanstrom.
On December 21, 2002, Paul married the love of his life, Cindy Jo, in Mackay, Idaho. Together they built a beautiful life in Moore, Idaho, where they raised their six cherished children: Faith Lynn, Paul Tyler, Jaden Ren, Emma Jo, Saige Elaine, and Parker Dean.
Paul was a hardworking man who found joy in the simple things in life. He loved fishing, hunting, farming, and riding horses. Whether in the fields, on horseback, or outdoors, Paul felt most at home in nature. Above all else, his greatest joy was his family. He treasured every moment spent with his wife, children, granddaughters, and the soon-to-arrive grandsons he eagerly looked forward to welcoming into the family, creating memories that will be forever cherished.
Paul will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his strong work ethic, his love of the outdoors, and the kindness and strength he shared with everyone around him. His legacy lives on through the family he loved so deeply and the many lives he touched.
He is survived by his wife, Cindy Jo Wanstrom; his children, Faith Lynn (Cody), Paul Tyler (Brenna Pam), Jaden Ren (Adison), Emma Jo (Isaac), Saige Elaine (Bracken), and Parker Dean; his beloved granddaughters Harper and Addie and soon-to-be-born grandsons; his parents, David and Nancy Wanstrom; his siblings; and many extended family members and friends who will miss him dearly.
Paul’s memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 am, Saturday, August 8, 2026, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Moore, Idaho Stake Center. The family will receive friends for one hour prior to services. Interment is in the Pioneer Cemetery in Moore, Idaho and is being cared for by the Anderson Family Funeral Home.
So sorry for your loss. I could always rely on Paul to give a smile or laugh to his coworkers. He loved his scrambled eggs in the morning!
I was Paul’s First Supervisor at the INL, he was always reliable, trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. He was a gentle giant and I feel sad that he left his family and friends way too soon. God bless his family.
I knew Paul from our time working together at the INL. He was the kind of person you were always happy to see. He had an infectious smile, a great sense of humor, and a way of making even ordinary days a little brighter. He was simply a good man. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Thank you for sharing him with all of us. He will be remembered fondly.
I’m so sorry for your loss, sure gonna miss working with Paul, he was a true pleasure to work with. I don’t think I have ever seen Paul in a bad mood. He loved to talk about his kids and grandkids! Sure gonna miss him!!
Dear Cody, Faith, and Wanstrom family,
We want to let you all know how sorry we are for the loss of your father! We only met him at Cody and Faith’s wedding but we were very impressed with him as well as the rest of your family! We could tell how much he loved all of you just from the short interaction we had with him that day!
We pray that you can be watched over and comforted while you’re dealing with your loss.
