Eugene Paul Wicht

November 15, 1949 - April 13, 2022

Eugene “Paul” Wicht, 72, of Grand Island passed away on Wednesday, April 13, 2022, surround by his family. Memorial service and celebration of Paul’s life will be held at 10:00 a.m. Monday, April 18th, at All Faiths Funeral Home with military honors provided by United States Army and Grand Island Veterans Honor Guard. Burial of ashes will be in Westlawn Memorial Park Cemetery at a later date. There is a gathering of family and friends from 4-6 p.m. on Easter Sunday at All Faiths Funeral Home. Paul was born November 15, 1949, in Grand Island, the son of William and Elizabeth Corrine (Hall) Wicht. He grew up in Shelton and graduated from Shelton High School, class of 1968. He then attended Hastings Technical College and received a degree in drafting. Upon graduating, Paul immediately entered the United States Army on June 11, 1970 and was honorably discharged June 4, 1973. He considered it such an honor to be included on one of the Hero Flights to Washington D.C. He married Sandra Callihan on November 30, 1973. He and Sandra raised their family in Grand Island. Paul was self-employed and owned “Paul Wicht Construction”. He was a member of the Elks #Lodge 604, the American Legion, and Alcoholics Anonymous. Paul was proudly eleven years sober and received satisfaction from helping others with their sobriety. He loved watching his beloved grandchildren and supporting them in their activities. He also enjoyed woodworking and loved hanging out in his garage building a project for someone. Those who cherish Paul’s memory include his wife, Sandra; his children and their spouses, Jeff and Kristyn Wicht of Dawson, MN, Becky and Jim Friend of Central City, and Dawn and Jeremy Brandt of Aurora; eleven grandchildren, Kannon, Keegon, Harold (Carisa), Will, Morgan, Brayden, Laiken, Hunter, Taryn, Cody and Maggie; and two great-grandchildren, Ana and Lyla, with one on the way. He is also survived by his brother, Darwin (Edith) Wicht of Grand Island; numerous nieces and nephews and extended family; a dear friend, Lisa White; and a beloved four-legged baby, Rusty. He was preceded in death by his parents; grandson, Jayden; and mother-in-law, Rose Callihan. Memorials are suggested to the family to be designated at a later date.
