In Memory
Paul M. Weisser
March 27, 1965 ~ December 19, 2024
Paul Michael Weisser, 59, of South Bend, passed away on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at Memorial Hospital.
Born on March 27, 1965, in South Bend, Paul was the son of Carl and Marilyn (Rantz) Weisser. A graduate of Riley High School, Paul attended the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy and went on to serve his community for 31 years with the St. Joseph County Police Department, most recently as Captain of the Civil Division. In addition to his work in law enforcement, Paul served as a swim coach for over two decades. He coached at Riley High School and various swim clubs in the Michiana area.
On March 19, 2018, Paul married Janiece Weisser, and together they shared six wonderful years.
He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who cherished every moment spent with his children and grandchildren. Paul was full of love, laughter, and his happiness was contagious.
Paul was an outdoorsman who was always happy to be near a lake or beach. He enjoyed fishing, hunting for arrowheads, and playing the guitar—a skill he taught himself. Paul also upheld the multi-generational tradition of making the Weisser family’s Hungarian sausage, one he lovingly passed on to his children.
Paul’s kindness, sense of humor, and dedication to his family and community will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Paul is survived by his wife, Janiece, his mother, Marilyn Weisser, son; Karl (Caitlin) Weisser of Noblesville, his daughter; Alexis (Chandler) Hoffner of Howell, MI, stepchildren; Jacinta (Darrick) Snyder of Brownsburg, Christine (Chip) Joers of Granger, Beth (Travis) Robinson of Avon, Andy Martin of Indianapolis, and Jenni Martin of South Bend. Also surviving are his three grandchildren; Caroline, Claire, Katherine, and five step-grandchildren; Brecken, Alexa, Emilia, Lincoln, and Penelope as well as his siblings; Kim (Tim) Basker of South Bend, John Weisser of South Bend, and Steve (Melissa) Weisser of North Liberty.
