Paul Allen O’Hara


November 2, 1982 – March 29, 2022


Paul Allen O’Hara, 39, passed away tragically in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday, March 29, 2022.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday April 8, at New Life Christian Center, 2918 W. Tuolumne Road, Turlock. A reception will be held following the service.

He was born November 2, 1982, in Turlock to Lori O’Hara and Phillip Ham. Paul was the youngest of five children. He grew up and attended local schools in Hughson. He loved his community and desired to raise his family in Hughson where his own roots were planted. Paul was proud of his family and would spend as much time as he could with his wife and daughters. The family could often be found together at the softball field practicing or spending their nights on family bike rides with their dogs.  

Paul was a Lead Maintenance Utility Mechanic at Leprino Foods in Tracy. He cherished his Leprino family and spent many hours (even on his days off) ensuring that the plant was running smoothly. Everyone who knew Paul knew that he was a jack of all trades, extremely talented and willing to help anyone, happily. Paul had a servant’s heart and was always generous with the gifts that God had given him.

Paul is survived by his wife of 13 years, Erika; their two daughters, Ava and Lena; his mother and father, Lori and Rich O’Hara; and his grandmother, Rayma Ernest. He is also survived two brothers, two sisters and many nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins who all loved him dearly. Paul was preceded in death by grandfathers Wallace Ham and William Snow. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that remembrances or donations be made to a fund established for his children, Ava and Lena O’Hara, at Valley First Credit Union, Acct #270799.
