Paul Andrew Aga was born October 10, 1957 in Fargo, North Dakota, the son of Bruce and Ardis (Nomeland) Aga. As a boy, Paul and his family moved to San Francisco, California and later to the Los Angeles area where he grew up and attended school. Paul played baseball and soccer in high school. He swam for the local YMCA participating in several competitions throughout California; he was a power swimmer excelling in the butterfly and breaststroke. Paul had an eye for the past; he developed prized collections of comic books and rare coins. He also had an interesting collection of old bottles.
Music was an important part of Paul's life. He learned to play the trumpet and continued to play it for his own enjoyment. Paul enjoyed singing in high school and college choirs. He also sang in the Westchester Lutheran Church Choir in California where Paul was confirmed. He and his family were members of Westchester Lutheran Church for many years.
Paul had developed a strong work ethic. During his senior year in high school he began work at 4 a.m. at the local Arby's restaurant. After attending his school classes he spent his afternoons operating his own gardening and landscape business. He ended his workday closing up for Arby's. When he chose to attend California Lutheran College in Thousand Oaks he worked hard and saved the full amount required for tuition.
Paul attended two years of California Lutheran College and two years of college at the California Lutheran Bible Institute in Norwalk. His studies centered on the Bible and religion. He also maintained an interest in comparative religious studies.
Following college Paul suffered several setbacks in his health. Despite all of Paul's mounting difficulties he always kept goodness in his heart. His friends all thought of him as a gentleman. Being loyal to friends and family was important to him; it was how he showed his love. More recently he was living on a campus setting in Whittier. He was working toward integration into the workforce when he died unexpectedly. Paul was 42 years old.
Paul was preceded in death by his mother, Ardis. He is survived by his father, Bruce Aga of Alexandria; one brother, John, and wife Patty Aga, of Cottage Grove.
A memorial service was held at the Westchester Lutheran Church in Los Angeles, California. Interment was private at Kinkead Cemetery in Alexandria.
