ABOUT JEAN PAUL..
JeanPaul lived the road less traveled. This included his love for the many things that go unappreciated in today's world, from noticing the daily beauty of sunrises and sunsets with his brothers to anticipating the extraordinary gifts of each new day. JeanPaul chose to live a life where love and happiness filled his heart, and anyone that ever met him would be impacted with a compassionate ear and positive kind words. He was passionate about changing our world, both physically and spiritually. He believed that his message of loving our world began with family and friends; but, he hoped that by spreading a message of unconditional love among his closest relationships, change would be rippled across the universe starting from a place deep in his heart. In our superficial world, he was a young man of immense substance. He knew that every person mattered and he loved them unconditionally.
