OREGON - Paul Lucas Velte, age 49, of Oregon, passed away on Saturday, Jan. 30, 2021, at St. Mary's Hospital, due to complications related to COVID 19. He was born on Jan. 24, 1972, in Dubuque, Iowa, the son of Robert and Rona (Whitney) Velte, the middle child of three sons.
Paul graduated from LaFollette High School in 1990, working various jobs until taking a position at Anderson Custom Processing in Belleville, where he worked for nearly 30 years in various positions-his last being on their maintenance crew. He was a jack of all trades kind of guy who could create or repair just about anything he put his mind to.
Paul leaves behind his best friend and wife of 26 years, Christina Landis; their two sons, Nicholas and Alexander; and canine companion, Yeri. He is further survived by his mother, Rona; brothers, Timothy (Jennifer) Velte and their children, Parker, Nick and Emma; and David (Tracy) Velte and their daughter, Piper; mother-in-law, Linda Landis; sister-in-law, Mary Jane (Andrew Potchik) Landis and her daughter, Sarah (Justin) Morris; and brothers-in-law, Mark Landis and Stu (Toni) Landis and their daughter, Cameron Landis. He was preceded in death by his father, Robert A. Velte; father-in-law, Merrill Landis; and his canine companion, Gidget.

While I didn't know Paul well the times I did get to spend time with him were enjoyable and I know his family loved him dearly. Your family is in ours prayers for comfort of your hearts and that faith would be strengthened. Very sorry for your loss. 2 Corinthians 5:8 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Bobby J

Paul was very special to me. I have worked with him several years at Anderson's. He had that feel at fixing things and interest on how things worked. Also great knowledge about "youtube" and google! 😊 Qe had many similarities which helped is get along. And he was always willing to lend a hand. He had his ways and always was "in the know". Shared many things with me as I did with him. I will miss him dearly.

We at Anderson's could have never asked for a better employee or person than we had with Paul. Never was there a time when the plant would reach out for help that Paul would deny the help, day or night. We definitely miss you here and you will never know the impact you had on all you worked with. The pleasure is mine to have known, and worked with you!

Paul was a great co-worker and and even better friend. I learned a lot from him and wish I could have had the chance to learn more. RIP bud!
