Paul Voigt, a native of La Marque, Texas and a Peninsula resident since 1988 who lived in Yorktown, died suddenly Sunday March 23, 2014, at Sentara Hampton General Hospital. He was 41.
He was a graduate of Hampton High School and was employed with SecTek at Langley AFB, VA for several years. At the time of his death, he was employed with Eagle Aviation Technology in Hampton. He strongly felt what made his job at Eagle so rewarding was the friends and co-workers he saw on a daily basis; he had a true love for them all.
He had a passion for science fiction games and he mastered many of them. He loved to joke and play pranks on people and loved fishing, playing cards and many outdoor activities. Most of all, he just enjoyed his life, his family and the many friends he knew and loved. He also had a love for his cat and friend, Lord Vader.
He was preceded in death by his father, Louis Frederick Voigt and brother, Steven Voigt.
