          PAUL BAIREFOOT 1942-2017
   Paul Woodrow Bairefoot, age 74 of Ionia, passed away on Sept. 29, 2017.
   He was born on Nov. 20, 1942 in Gauston, South Carolina to Thomas and Lucile
Bairefoot.
   Paul married the love of his life, Eloise "Ellie" Shattuck on Aug. 17, 1987 in
Ionia.
   Paul Bariefoot was an Army veteran, and served as a prison guard for 23 years. 
During that time, he took great pride in serving the state and his country and in 
helping people turn their lives around.
   Paul Bairefoot was witty, tough and stubborn.  A firm believer that nothing comes
to those who don't work for it, he did everything he could to teach his family the 
importance of having a strong sense of humility and a giving heart.  Paul loved 
NASCAR racing, discussing politics and telling jokes.  But most of all, he loved 
being a father, grandfather and great-grandfather.
   Paul is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Eloise Bairefoot; children,
Kimberly Bairefoot Courtney (Ralph), Sean Bairefoot, Tonya Tate-Clayton (Kevin), 
Tabatha "TJ" Tate-Barclay (Craig) and Todd Meuir; grandchildren, Leah Courtney, 
Tyler Tate, Ryan Courtney, Hadlie Clayton, Tori Cain (Ryan) Westley Bairefoot, 
Brianna Courtney and Kaylynn Bairefoot; great-grandchildren, Kylie Town, Braylee
Clayton, Carson Favreau, Logan Tate, Michael Bairefoot, Preston Tate and Aubree 
Clayton.
   He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Janie Hutto; brothers, Eagle
Bairefoot, Eddie Bairefoot and Billy Goodwin; daughter, Melissa Bairefoot Moyer; and 
grandchild, Kevin Clayton II.
   Cremation has taken place and there will be no services at this time. 
Arrangements in care of Lake Funeral Home in Ionia.  Online condolences may be made
