Age 32, of Bloomington, MN
Passed away unexpectedly on November 18th, 2010. Preceded in death by Russell L. Campbell, Father-in-law; He will be deeply missed by his Wife, Laura; Son, Joshua; and Daughter, Stella. Mother, Karen E. and Father, Robert C. Livesay; Brother and Sister-in-law Troy R. and Tara Livesay; Mother-in-law, Rebecca Campbell; Brother-in-law, Matthew Campbell; Grandparents, Joann and Charles L. Wood Sr., and many uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces and cousins.
Paul worked at Quality Bicycle Products in Bloomington, MN as a Digital Imaging Specialist. Family and friends cared deeply about Paul and will miss him greatly.
Memorial Services will be at the Honsa Family Funeral Home, 2460 East County Road E, White Bear Lake, MN Monday at 7:30 P.M. with gathering of family and friends from 5:30-7:30 P.M. In lieu of flowers, Memorials preferred for Josh (age 6) and Stella (age 3).~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thursday night shortly after 9pm we learned that Troy's little brother took his own life. Thankfully we had arrived in the Twin Cities on Wednesday night and could quickly join Troy's parents. Paul had long struggled with depression and had battled chemical dependency. He was loved and will be missed by many. We ask that you please pray for Laura and their children Josh and Stella and for Troy's parents Bob and Karen.
If you attend on Monday night please know that Laura respectfully asks that you not speak to the children about the cause of Paul's death, she would like to protect them from that right now, they know they lost their daddy and that is enough to process. As many of you know the grief process is more complicated when suicide is the cause of death. We encourage anyone that wishes to help to give memorial gifts directly to Laura and the kids.

So very sorry. Blanketing your entire family, and his precious children in prayer.
Terribly sorry for your loss and for his kids and wife. Hard hard stuff for all. Believing He keeps our tears in a bottle and has engraved our names on His hands...even in the middle of really crappy stuff.

You will definitely be in our prayers! Not really sure what to say but that my heart aches for you even though we've never met. I lost my brother 12 years ago...May the God of all comfort just surround you now like He surrounded me then.
I'm SO sorry Troy & Tara. What a tragedy. Praying for you all.

I will be praying for the family. So sorry.
Troy & Tara,
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy and prayers are extended to you and your family. I lost my younger brother 19 years ago under similar circumstances. I have moved on but am always grieved to hear of others who will go through the shadow of death. May God give you strength to carry on in your ministry. Peter
Will be praying for those sweet children, their mommy, and the rest of Paul's family...
We love you guys.
I am so sorry for this very tragic loss. I send my deepest sypmapthies to Troy, his family, and all of you. I lost my only brother to a sudden heart attack four years ago. I understand the shock of losing a sibling, and these circumstances add to the loss. May God's hands surround you.

I have been following your blog since July, when I stayed at the Heartline Guest House. So sorry to hear about your loss. My father took his own life 19 years ago. He also battled depression and chemical dependancy. I know what you are going through. It does get better with time, but it never goes away. I will keep your family in my prayers.
I am incredibly sorry for your loss.
We know the pain, as my husbands father took his own life in May. So much confusion, questions, guilt, despair. God's perfect peace has carried us, I know it will do the same for your families. God is close to the brokenhearted, I pray you would feel so. (Psalm 34:18)
Oh my heart is breaking for everyone involved. Praying that a divine peace would rest upon each of you. Lord, cover Paul's entire family and those who knew him with your grace and peace. Father, we know that you catch each tear and identify with each ache of their heart. Be glorified in this tragedy and make your glory known. Amen.
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I will be praying for you & your family as well as for your extended family.
My prayers are with you- it's so amazing that your family has been placed in my "online" life by two entirely separate friends within days of each other, and this being the second of the news. The first was regarding your family in Haiti. I did not know you were all the same family until now. The connections are there for a reason, and as always we'll rely on God for the reasons.
In Sympathy and sorrow,
Shelly Lakso
So sorry for you all. Praying.
To dearest Tara and Troy, What shocking news to read this, we are so, so sorry for your loss and want you to know we are praying for you all. There are no words, but just praying that you feel Gods presence and answers at such a difficult and challenging time. Much love to you all.
OH, I'm so, so sorry for your loss. Our prayers will be covering the whole Livesay family, especially Laura and the children, that they will experience a peace that transcends our earthly understanding.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I had the privilege of working with Paul and will miss him greatly. He was always incredibly kind and gracious, and loved to joke and make the workplace more enjoyable. He will be missed by us all.
Praying for your family and Laura and her children.
Jennifer
There are no words. We will be praying for the comfort only God can provide right now.

Light and Love to you all. I lost my sister to depression and suicide 17 years ago ~ I will always miss her, and I also understand that her pain was too much for her to live with. I know that your family is full of great love and faith and hope, and I hope that the joy of your children and Laura and Paul's will help you all through this painful time. Blessings to you on your journey, especially at this most difficult turn. Love, Andrea in Vermont
T&T and Family:
My heart is so sad for you and I am sorry. My family is praying for all of you and Laura and the kids. May you feel the comfort of Emmanuel as you grieve and remember with love.

I'm so sorry...
