Please rest knowing that you were dearly and deeply loved by legions of family and friends. There are no words to describe how much you will be missed. We shall meet again, though. See you then.

    Paul, crazy, sweet funny Paul! #5! As so many others have said, you will be truly missed! I will always remember you for our chats at Vickery and your bubbling personality but mostly everyday when I look at one of the only good pictures that was taken at my wedding and remembering that it was you that took that picture and I am forever grateful. God has you now and I know He is enjoying having you with Him just like all of your family and friends here on earth did.
    Sylvia, I know that you have many hard times ahead of you but I believe that your faith and God will carry you through them as well as all of your family and friends. Know that you are loved and prayed for and that even though you cannot touch Paul , he is still watching over you and wanting you to be okay. He so loved you! We have never been close friends, but I will always be a friend you can call on if if you need to. God bless you now and always!

    Paul,#5,KC,Scottie – I knew you by many names, but the one that I prefer is “friend”. Loyal employee and friend of 34 years, golf buddy, ambassador for Vickery, raconteur. You will be missed my friend, but your presence will endure from the many memories that will always exist. I will always hear you saying to me “love ya big guy!” I love you too Paul. I will look forward to seeing you again on the other side. Gone but never forgotten. Vaya con dios mi amigo.

    Paul, there must be a great golf course in heaven, with no sand traps or water hazards, and where every stroke is a hole-in-one. I will often think of you there, with Sam Daugherty and Jim Schoolfield, your old golfing buddies. Rest in peace between games.

    Of the thousands of rounds of golf played at Tenison Park Golf course in the five years I worked there Paul Renteria was by far the person I most remembered. What a great guy – always a smile on his face. Great stories – Great memories.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
