Yes and that is the last lesson from Paul. Seize the day! Don't let it go to waste!

From Sherman House:
PAUL-E-PALOOZA
Everyone...like I said, the news from Uncle Paul Gomez' passing is still a shock. I keep seeing things, hearing music, and having ideas that I want to talk to Paul about. Reading the comments, and seeing the photos that so many people have posted has been great. I'm spending my days at work here, reading all of these amazing memories and stories about Paul, in between pulling teeth, and making plans for our mutual friend.
THANKS TO the efforts of many of Paul's friends and colleagues, we have many fish in the water at the moment. I'll review them in no particular order:
1. PAUL-E-PALOOZA (aka, "The Paul Gomez Tactical Conference Memorial") For those of you that knew Paul well, you knew that he would be less than pleased to hear that anything closely resembling a memorial golf tournament, even in name only, would be dedicated to him! Thus, the more appropriate, "PAUL-E-PALOOZA," name is chosen, and so mote it be. Paul's birthday is August 19th, and serendipitously, the 19th falls on a Sunday this year. So the conference will be set for August 17, 18 and 19. The location is STILL tentative. I've had a few GREAT offers on locations, it's just a matter of measuring how the logistics line up. So stay tuned. Thanks to Aaron Little, the RECURRING theme of the PAUL-E-PALOOZA will be topics and lectures that are either: TOPICS Paul would have lectured on HIMSELF, or TOPICS Paul would have liked to attend, however esoteric. The proceeds from PAUL-E-PALOOZA will go into a fund for Paul's children. Anyone that hasn't already, can still email me shermanahouse "at" gmail.com if you are interested in presenting or helping make this event happen, and continue to happen, from now on. Much like Tom Givens and Lynn Givens', "Polite Society," event that Paul so enjoyed and loved being a part of, I would like the PAUL-E-PALOOZA to become a regular event, that will continue to keep us all tied to Paul and Paul's legacy, as well as maintain the fellowship that those of us in this unique "fra-sority," share.
2. THE PAUL EVERETT GOMEZ TRUST FUND
My wife, Ami'ee Montiel House, along with our family attorney, are making steps towards setting up a trust fund for Paul's children, Gabby Gomez, Spenser and Lillith. Once this is in place, anyone who wishes to can make contributions, to a national bank chain, and have their donation deposited in the trust. Also, the proceeds from the aforementioned, PAUL-E-PALOOZA will go into the fund, along with the other projects we have in the works...
3. GOMEZ TRAINING INTERNATIONAL LOGO AND SHIRTS
Paul was in the creative process of creating a t-shirt/schwag logo when he passed. I've contacted the vendor he was working with, to continue the project, and get the logo and shirts, to market. Again, the proceeds from this effort will all go to Paul's kids, and we will all get a respectful, yet uniquely, "Paul," shirt/hoodie to have.
4. GOMEZ COMPENDIUM
Efforts are underway to create a, "tome," of Paul knowledge. Perhaps his PSP's from TPI, as well as his essays, writings and course material. This may be available in an e-book format, or as a hardcopy. Also, creating a compilation video of his combined YOUTUBE videos is also in discussion. The proceeds of which, would also go to Paul's kids!
I'm sure I'm forgetting something...if you emailed me and I haven't returned your email, I promise I'm not ignoring you, I'm just up to my neck in it at the moment, and you will hear from me!
PLEASE SHARE THIS on web forums, Facebook, etc. And please email me, shermanahouse "at" gmail.com if you have anything to add, contribute or help, and I will incorporate you as best I can!
Thank you, EVERYONE, in your efforts to immortalize our Uncle Paul's ideas. I OWE Uncle Paul my best, and I will continue to do what I can for him, his kids and for Rachel IsBlessed, as well as all his friends and comrades.

It's somehow fitting, and ironic, that his last video is titled "Watching someone you love die sucks!" He will be missed.

Massad Ayoob weighs in with a nice eulogy:
R.I.P. PAUL GOMEZ
Posted: 07 Jun 2012 04:52 PM PDT
All of us in the tactical firearms training world were stunned at the untimely death this past weekend of Paul Gomez. Paul was in many ways the ideal instructor for life-saving topics. Devoid of ego, he was devoted to studying what was out there with an analytical mind, correlating it with observed street reality, and seeking out new approaches that worked better. He taught synergistically, with a mix of combat shooting, hand to hand fighting, and tactical emergency medicine.
At conclaves of those who teach these things, there would be some who would come, dispense their wisdom, and then leave, as if to say “There is nothing my peers can teach me.” Then there were those like Paul, who when he wasn’t teaching was absorbing someone else’s training, filtering it through both his intensive study and his own analytical mind, to see what newer, better things he could share with good people who would find themselves in harm’s way. Paul Gomez was utterly devoted to the art and science of defeating violence, by strategy and negotiation if possible, and by expertly applied countervailing violence if not.
I knew Paul as a student in his class, and as an instructor when he was in my class, and he was a professional on both ends of it. (The ideal teacher generally is the ideal student.) I didn’t know him as well as I wish I could have, though, and will leave his eulogy to those who knew him longer and better. One such is the testament of our mutual friend Andy Stanford, which can be found in the opening post of the thread on Paul’s untimely death in the excellent Smith & Wesson Forum, at http://smith-wessonforum.com/lounge/253192-rip-paul-gomez.html. If you can access Facebook, you’ll find a moving testimonial to Paul Gomez written by another mutual friend and colleague, Dr. William Aprill, at http://www.facebook.com/PaulGomez.TheTrainingBum/posts/3720833392127
This good man died far too soon, not yet at his 41st birthday. You can share some of his wisdom on his YouTube Channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/Gomez8136. He left young children behind. Colleagues and friends in the training community are putting together a memorial seminar, which will gather many of the top names in self-defense, with all proceeds going to Paul’s kids. As soon as I have the details, I’ll post them here. It will be a great opportunity to get some top-quality training from “the best and the brightest” all at once with a huge saving in travel expense, and to pay tribute to a fine human being who devoted his life to teaching good people to protect themselves and others from evil.
Vaya con Dios, Brother Gomez. You were taken from us far too soon. May you rest in the same peace you worked so hard for others to achieve.

RIP Paul. May your legacy live forever.
I had some time this afternoon to review most of his videos. I just heard about Paul on this forum when I returned to it over the last 3 weeks. Today I taught my younger brother Paul's take on shooting from retention, and I hope in a way that me passing along this idea from a great mind I never had the privilege to meet might make him live on in a small way. I wish I could have trained with him, we lost him too soon.
For the friends and family who happen upon this, my heart goes out to you guys.

Rest in peace, Paul. Vaya con Dios.
I wish I could say I knew Paul more than I did. Two ECQC classes, the Snubby Summit, and his mobile phone number saved in one of my old phones, indicate we were mere acquaintances, but his passing hit me hard, because I really liked Paul, and planned to train with him in the future, after being freed from the constraints of my elderly father-in-law staying with us, which effectively prevented me from traveling much. (I had missed part of the second ECQC class because my father-in-law caused some drama.) Well, my f-i-l passed
away in March, but then Paul passed away, before I could see, or train with him, again.
Life is so very fragile, and of unpredictable length.

A wise man once said "Learn everything you can, from everyone you meet." I never met Paul, but I thought he had some really good stuff on his YouTube channel.
I'd hope that everyone would take a moment this week, this day even, and remember what may be Paul's last lesson, but neither the least, nor last thing that we can learn from him. To quote another profound individual: "No matter what, Johnson, we're always running out of time." I'd like to thank Paul for driving that point home for me today.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family.
Vaya con Dios, meastro, y gracias por todos.

Thanks for the update, Al. I hope this becomes an annual event.
An impressive cast of instructors ... and a most worthwhile endeavor. It's pretty sure we'll be obligated several states away at that particular time, but we will definitely make a contribution in Paul's memory.
For anyone who has never experienced this kind of training event, this will be a great opportunity. I usually refer to these as "buffet training," because there is so much to choose from and you usually wish you could try everything. This format offers a great training value for the $$$, this is literally a token charge for this level of instructor talent.
