MOUNT VERNON – Paul M. Payne, 39, of Mount Vernon, passed away on Sunday, Nov. 22, 2020, from injuries sustained in an accident at work. He was born on Oct. 22, 1981, in Mount Vernon, the son of Rick and Regina (Deem) Payne. 

Paul previously worked full time for the Joint Force Headquarters of the Army National Guard. For the last eight years, he worked for CSX railroads. 

Paul was a dedicated husband, father and son who loved nothing more than spending time with his family. His wife and kids were his hobby. He enjoyed taking them outside; whether it was camping, hiking or target shooting, he was always with them. Paul also enjoyed playing video games, as it was another way to spend time with them. 

He is survived by his wife of 19 years, Haley (Davis) Payne; his children, Shawn Payne of Mount Vernon, Jacob Payne, Marcus Payne, Lily Payne and Sarah Payne, all of the home; his mother, Regina Payne; sister, Erica Payne; and paternal grandmother, Patricia Payne.

Besides his father, Paul was preceded in death by a brother, Kyle Jason Payne; paternal grandfather, Paul “Buck” Payne; and maternal grandparents, Charles “Ed” and Norma Deem.

Friends may call on Friday from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Dowds-Snyder Funeral Home. The family will observe a private service. Due to the pandemic, the family asks that mask protocols be followed.

Memorial contributions in Paul’s name may be made to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
