Paul Regan

Paul Jerome “Paulie” Regan IV, 43, a resident of Charlottesville, VA, formerly of Harrisonburg, VA, passed away on Sunday, October 4, 2026, at his home.

Paul was born on April 21, 1983, in Elmira, NY, to Paul Jerome Regan III and Doris Mary Phillips Pariso. He was an avid reader, a gifted writer, a movie and music buff, and an enthusiastic appreciator of all forms of artistic expression, particularly those that questioned authority. Paul loved bringing books to life through teaching and was a dynamic, animated, and enthusiastic instructor—a reflection of his deep passion for reading and writing. He also loved being in the mountains, where he found peace in the natural world. Paul would not have hesitated to offer constructive criticism of the grammar and style of this very paragraph.

Paul is survived by his daughter, Charley Ann Regan; parents, Paul Jerome Regan III and wife Mia, Doris Mary Pariso and husband Bart; siblings, Brian P. Regan and spouse Meryl of Palm Beach, FL, Sean P. Regan of Fairbanks, AL; partner, Kelly Wilmer; stepbrother, Nicholas Anthony Pariso; grandfather, Paul Jerome Regan II; aunts and uncles, Allison and Tom McCarthy, Regina and Bart Cavanaugh, Eileen and Leonard Phillips, Theresea and Pat Hourihan, Timothy Regan; cousins, Jane Phillips, Amy Cavanaugh Balash, Mary K. Lenox, Michale Collins, Thomas Cavanaugh, Danny Martinez Cavanaugh, Leonard Phillips IV, Kathryn Cavanaugh Hill, Jackie Collins Johnson, Ian McCarthy, and Kelsey McCarthy.

Paul was preceded in death by his grandparents, Barbara Ann Regan and Betty and Buster Phillps.
