SIKESTON — Paul Jared Ensor passed peacefully at his home on May 8, 2020.
Paul was born May 3, 1959, to the late John R. Ensor Sr. and Hazel (Widner) Ensor. He attended Sikeston Public Schools and graduated in 1977.
Ensor started working for Steward Steel Structural Division as a welder/fabricator in October 1978. He moved to Oklahoma in 1980 to work in the oil field. He moved back to Sikeston in 1983 and went back to work for Steward Steel. He worked there until April, 1992 when he left and went to work for Schick Steel in Blytheville, Arkansas, as a subcontractor for NuCor-Yamato Steel. He was hired on full time at NuCor in June 1993 and he remained there until February 2019 when he had to stop working due to chemo treatments. Paul held several positions in his 26 years at Nucor; during the last 18, he was a Mill Wright mechanic.
On June 5, 1993, he married Melissa Anderson of Campbell, Missouri. They later had two daughters, Ashley (May 1998) and Annie (October 1999).
Paul was of the Methodist faith. He enjoyed hunting, hiking, camping and spending time with friends and family. Even though he worked rotating swing shift at NuCor, whenever possible, he attended the girls’ soccer and volleyball games. Family was very important to Paul and he supported and loved his girls to the very end.
