Paul Ray Tyrrell

Paul Ray Tyrell passed away on January 18, 2016, at Autumn Oaks Caring Center in Mountain Grove, Missouri, after an extended illness.
Paul was born on July 30, 1936, on a small farm outside of Mountain Grove, to the late Albert and Zula (Ellis) Tyrrell. He attended a small country school. From a very young age, his passion was cars and trucks. After working various jobs in the area, he eventually opened a car and truck sales business in Norwood. In 1969, Paul moved his family to Council Bluffs, Iowa. After a few years, he started South Omaha Trucks, which he owned until he moved back to Mountain Grove in his later years.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents; two infant twin sisters; brother: Alvin Junior Tyrrell and his wife, Evelyn; and nephew: Gary Tyrrell and his wife, Jan.
He is survived by his children: Jerry Ray Tyrrell (Andy Nelson), Charlotte Sue Harm (Bill), all of Omaha, Nebraska, Deborah Jean St. Clair (Patrick) of Locust Grove, Georgia, Susan Elaine Jones of Council Bluffs, Iowa; five grandchildren; and two nephews.
The family would like to say a special thank you to the staff at Autumn Oaks Caring Center and Three Rivers Hospice for their care.
