Paul A. Nay, 60, of Seymour, passed away unexpectedly on February 17, 2023, at Schneck Medical Center. He was born in Seymour, Indiana on July 4, 1962, the son of the late Donald Earl Nay and Nancy Swick Nay who survives in Crothersville. On October 10, 1998, at Redeemer Lutheran Church, he married the love of his life and his best friend, Rachel Baxter.
Paul is survived by his wife, Rachel; his mother, Nancy Nay; two children, Jackson Paul (J.P.) Nay, and Madelyn Leigh (Maddie) Nay; one brother, Steve (Julie) Nay; one sister, Sue (Rob) Hooker; his father-in-law, David Baxter; sister-in-law, Robin Carpenter; and several nieces and nephews.
He is preceded in death by his father, Donald Nay; his paternal and maternal grandparents; and his mother-in-law, Bonnie Baxter.
Paul was the owner and broker of PNA Realty of Seymour. He has been in the real estate and auction business for over 35 years. He was a faithful member of Redeemer Lutheran Church and was a proud member of N.R.A. He was also a member of multiple organizations including : Lifetime National Republican Party, Lutheran Community Home Board, Lions Club International of Seymour, Eagles Club of Seymour, and Elks Club of Seymour.
One would say Paul was a unique and larger than life individual, and he was one of a kind. He was a friend to all who he met. He was one that just had a personality that drew people in, with his Paul-isms, voice, and some would say his clothing. It did not matter if you saw him in Seymour at one of his auctions, while buying real estate, a vacation in Florida or any other state, he would always make you feel like you were a close friend. He enjoyed his auctioneering and traveling with his family. If Paul was here today, he would tell us to LIVE IT UP!
Family and friends may visit at Redeemer Lutheran Church on Thursday, February 23, 2023, from 2pm until the time of memorial remembrance service at 7pm.
Family requests memorial contributions to be made to Redeemer Lutheran Church or Jackson County Humane Society.
Online condolences may be shared with the Nay family at www.vossfuneralservice.com. Arrangements have been entrusted to Voss & Sons Funeral and Cremation Services.

Rachel, Nancy, J.P., and Maddie, Jan and I want to share our heartfelt prayers for you. Your loss is so much more than ours, but we also grieve with you the loss of a great member of our neighborhood and community and a man that went above and beyond to help others. I will never forget the extra effort he put into helping a family member who needed to relocate. He treated them and us like family. Paul is safely in the Father's house, where we will see him again, but until then, may the Good Shepherd, who laid down his life for Paul and for us, and rose again so we would live, lead you through this time of grief and comfort you with His love. Pastor Ralph and Jan Blomenberg

My sincere condolences to the Nay family for the untimely passing of Paul. Unfortunately for me I only got to know him for a few years but like many of others have expressed, I considered him a friend. He made you feel like his friend. I never met a more friendly, considerate and honest man. I know how much his family will miss him, his community will miss him and I miss him too.

I'm saddened to hear of Paul's passing and am keeping his loved ones in prayer. Paul and I attended real estate school together. While I didn't stay in the business he made a successful career out of it. Always enjoyed going to his auctions. He made them fun. He was a good man. May God give you strength, comfort you and give you peace. May you find comfort in knowing that you have not lost him but have only been separated until your time to go home comes. RIP Paul

Well Paul, I'm sitting here at the carwash waiting for you to come rolling in for your weekly wash. I know you made it a point to come mid morning when you knew I'd be here just so we could shoot the breeze for a few minutes. No matter my mood, you could always put a smile on my face and laugh in my belly. I've known you for over half of my life and I'm sure glad our lifetimes overlapped as they did. I can't imagine the last 25 years of not knowing you. I estimate that we've had over 150 real estate closings together through our businesses and even 4 of our personal properties. And whether your commission was zero or $50k, you still gave them all your 110%. "Nature abhors a void" was one of your many sayings, and you sir have left one giant void that will be impossible to fill. Until we meet again, "go easy on em"
