Born to Ted and Brenda DeBruhl, Paul grew up in Spotsylvania. After graduating high school, he married his high school sweetheart, Kristy.
As a highly respected car auctioneer, Paul was a prominent figure in the automotive world, known for his incredible talent and deep knowledge of the industry. His presence at car auctions was commanding, and he had an unmatched ability to connect with people. In addition to his success as an auctioneer, Paul was a well-known figure in the car show scene and was respected for his passion and expertise.
Paul had a remarkable artistic creativity that was evident in everything he touched. Whether it was painting a perfect pinstripe line on a car or transforming an old skateboard into a beautiful work of art, his talent was endless and left a lasting impact on all who saw or received his work. His eye for detail and unique style made him stand out in everything he did. Paul was a good man of quiet and abiding faith. John 3:16-17
He is survived by his loving wife of 30 years, Kristy DeBruhl, his daughter, Kyleigh DeBruhl; his parents, Ted and Brenda DeBruhl, his brother, Ben DeBruhl, his best friend, Rusty Townsend, his nieces, nephews, and other loving extended family.
