Paul Milo Coy, Sr., age 74, of Defiance, Ohio passed away peacefully Monday morning,
September 15, 2025, surrounded by his loving family. Paul was born May 22, 1951 in
Defiance, Ohio to the late Paul Stanley and Mildred Ellen (Gaston) Coy. Paul retired
after 25 years from Campbell Soup Company in Napoleon, Ohio.
A true Renaissance soul, Paul found joy in the roar of a motorcycle engine, the rhythm
of a good tune, and the beauty of artistic expression. He was a man of many gifts,
especially the gift of gab, which he shared generously. Above all, Paul cherished his
family—they were the heart of his world, his greatest pride, and the source of his
deepest joy.
Paul is survived by his wife, Angelina Coy, Defiance, his sons, Andrew (Elisa) Coy,
Hicksville, Paul (Sarah) Coy II, Defiance, Richard Jensen, Defiance, and Paul Charles
Jensen, Toledo; daughters, Tamara (Glenn) Smith, Lexington, South Carolina, Alisa

Carpenter.
