Brian Wilson Paulsen passed unexpectedly from this world on November 6, 2018 in Lawrence, Kansas at the age of 57. His friends and family, and most especially his beloved daughter, his mother, and his twin brother, grieve the loss of a man known for his exceptionally sweet and loving nature.
Brian was born in Cloud County, Kansas on October 1, 1961 and graduated from Glasco High in 1980. He was a resident of Lawrence, Kansas since 1998 and enjoyed his employment at Pines, International. He was adventurous and loved travel, music, history, and nature.

Great guy, Make me smile just thinking about growing up with him and Brice, never a dull moment.
Prayers and sympathy to Brian’s family and friends he leaves behind. So enjoyed the time shared with Brian in school. I have many fond memories, including the one where they twins traded seats in the classroom and fooled Mrs. Darrow and the class got a good laugh out of it! Hugs to all. I won’t be able to attend the service but will be thinking of you all.
