I was contacted yesterday morning by Paul's sister Sharon Spriggs.  She informed me that Paul had passed away after his battle with cancer.

Paul, known to many as Kibishipaul, was a valued member of our community and a very talented artist.  He was a loving father to his son Ewan and devoted husband to his wife Mayumi.

May he rest in peace.

The Passion Competition did a small tribute to him.

On a personal note, Paul was an inspiration to me and was one of the driving forces of me keeping the Passion Competition going as long as it did.  I will always cherish the friendship he and I had.

Passion is my business.

My sincerest condolences to all the family and friends of the deceased.  My sorriest feelings for their loss.

I wish to also reflect Antonnis' sentiments...
Although not knowing Paul personally, I've gained a small 'glimpse' of this artist by viewing his creative videos (liked to the 'tibute' page).
He will surely be missed. This is a difficult time for Paul's family and friends - but his inspiration lives on .....

Please be patient with me ..... I don't always 'get it' the first time 'round - not even the 2nd time!   - yikes! ...

Paul was very active in the Moviestorm community. He was a teacher and always striving to make something new and engaging for his students. His movie productions were often based on historical events to fit into his teaching.

A kind, thoughtful, generous man. He will be missed.

My sincerest condolences too.

My deepest sympathies for his family & friends....  the community will miss him.

Though i never heard of "Kibishipaul" or saw/remind a post from him in here, my condolences to the bereaved family/friends.
Life has an end as candlelight would fade, but in the heart, memories yielded will forever be embedded.

Sorry for such a loss. I've seen some of his work. He was a passionate individual.

His videos will be a lasting tribute to the man. I'm sure he hoped, as I do, that they will carry his memory and inspiration to his descendants.
I never knew the man but it's always sad when the world loses another artist.

My condolences to the family.
