Service: 26th July 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Paul Christopher McQueen.

A loving husband, devoted father, cherished son, brother, and friend.

Paul peacefully departed this world on June 30, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Salma McQueen, and their son, Shaquille.

Paul was a proud and affectionate father, a supportive and caring husband, and a constant source of strength and laughter to all who were fortunate to know him.

As a treasured son and a loyal brother, Paul nurtured every relationship with warmth and kindness.

His genuine and generous friendship left lasting impressions on many, especially his lifelong friend Chris, along with countless others whose lives he touched.

The McQueen family wishes to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated staff at Hospice for their compassion and care during Paul’s final days.

In accordance with his wishes, a private cremation has taken place.

A memorial service to celebrate Paul’s life will be held on July 26 at 22 Lindisfarne Street, Invercargill, commencing at 2 pm.

All who knew and loved Paul are warmly invited to come together to honour the joy, humour, and love he brought into our lives.

Messages can be shared on Paul’s tribute page at www.distinctfunerals.co.nz or Flat 3/79 Alice St, Gladstone.

Though he is no longer with us in body, Paul’s spirit will live on in everyone who knew him.

He will be profoundly missed, forever remembered, and always loved.
