Ernest Paul Christian Sr.
February 16, 1946 — January 27, 2024
Reverend Ernest Paul Christian Sr., 77, of Columbus, Ohio passed away peacefully at home to join his heavenly Father on January 27, 2024. He was born on February 16, 1946, in Christian, West Virginia to Andrew Perron and Virginia Clara Christian.
Paul attended Canal Winchester High School and retired from Pactiv in 2012. Paul was a very talented woodworker and loved tinkering in his garage. Paul was a collector of pocketknives and would spend many Saturdays at knife shops or flea markets searching for his new treasure in an old knife or antique to add to his collection.
Paul's greatest achievement was his ministry of 50 years. All that knew him learned very quickly about "his Jesus" and his great love for everyone's soul. He was energized by a power greater than this natural world understands. Paul committed his life to God and preached the gospel to hundreds of people over his years in the ministry.
He was preceded in death by his father, Andrew Christian; his mother, Virginia (Rose) Christian; his granddaughter, Aubrey Christian; his brothers, Andrew Jr., Norman (Buddy), James and Charles; brother-in-law Paul Johnson; nephew, Jason Christian; along with many close and precious cousins and friends.
Paul is survived by his loving wife of 58 years, Anna Sue Christian; daughter, Tami (Christian) Campbell and son-in-law Martin Campbell; son, Paul Christian and daughter-in-law, Ginger Silver; grandson; Andrew Campbell and his fiancée, Kiersten Bolinder; granddaughters, Bethany and Domni Christian; great-granddaughters, BreAnna, Mya and Emily; sisters, Judith Johnson and Cynthia and brother-in-law, George (Joey) Thompson and brother, Lonnie and sister-in-law Cathy Christian.
