A 23-year-old Taunton man who died this week is being remembered as his service have been announced.
Paul Courcy Jr. passed away unexpectedly on Monday in Taunton.
According to an obituary, Courcy worked as a self-employed mechanic, drawing on his natural talent with his hands and lifelong love of all things mechanical.
From a young age he loved sports and the outdoors. He played Taunton West Little League baseball and Brewins youth hockey, then later enjoyed dirt bikes, four-wheelers, and working on cars. He was especially skilled at building, welding, and repairing, and took pride in that work.
Paul treasured time with his children. He loved sharing dirt bikes and projects with his son and cherished the moments he spent with his daughter. His kids brought him great happiness, and those memories will always be treasured.
Friends say Courcy was also close to Alec Ardita who also died on Monday.
