Obituary of Paul Andre Washington, Jr.
Paul Andre Washington, Jr., a devoted servant of God and a beloved member of the Monroe community, departed this life on December 21, 2023, at LSU (Ochsner Hospital) in Shreveport, Louisiana. Born on August 8, 1990, in Monroe, LA, Paul’s journey on earth spanned 33 years of faith, love, and inspirational service.
Raised in a home where Jesus Christ was the cornerstone of life, Paul’s early education was deeply rooted in Christian principles. He attended Clara Hall Elementary, Little Flower Learning Academy, Liberty Christian School, and Lakeshore Elementary, instilling in him a strong foundation of faith and knowledge. His academic journey continued at Ouachita Junior High and High Schools, and Liberty Christian Learning Academy, culminating in his graduation from Ouachita High School with consistent honors. A well-rounded individual, Paul excelled in football, choir, and was recognized as the “Most Friendliest Person” at Ouachita High School. His quest for knowledge led him to ULM community college, where he studied nuclear physics for two years.
From the tender age of three, Paul’s passion for Jesus Christ was unmistakable. His spiritual awakening at such a young age was profound, leading him to preach his first sermon at eleven, earning him the loving title of “Little Preacher Man.” He became a beacon of light in the Ark-La-Miss region, preaching and mentoring at youth explosions, touching countless lives with his vibrant faith and dedication. Paul’s last sermon, delivered at one of these youth explosions, was a testament to his unwavering commitment to spreading the Word of God.
Paul’s legacy is cherished by a loving family, including his daughter, who will continue to spread the message and values of the “Little Preacher Man.”
