You all have been in thoughts constantly since learning or Paul’s passing and I wanted to share a story with you all from my 6 years working with Paul at Accell. I like to think of Paul and I relationship as a love/ hate relationship because of all of our similarities. The biggest similarity we shared was intenseness for all things that mattered to us. Others may describe this shared trait of ours with other words but I like to use the word intense. 🤗 Some days in the office Paul would say things that would cause me to roll my eyes so hard I thought they may fall right of the sockets. Lol which then often resulted in us having an intense conversation on what we had said. Which often resulted in me digging, researching and learning more about the topic so I could attempt to prove Paul wrong. Haha I did not succeed very often but Paul would just agree to disagree and eventually find a new topic for our intense conversations to continue. Not the typical employee/boss relationship right! Sometimes I let it get to me and drive me crazy, I wish I could have realized then what Paul was actually doing. Paul was being a faithful disciple per usual. Teaching me to learn to love Jesus in his very own fashion and it worked so well. All of the extra reading of the Bible and researching I learned from would have never happened without Paul. I can remember bringing my Bible to work to show him a few verses and talk about them together and he praised me for bringing Bible. I can still remember how good it felt to have my boss praise me for bringing my Bible to work it was a good feeling. One other thing I can remember so very well from my time spent with Paul was how he spoke about his wife and children. I had never met a man that praised his wife and children like Paul Budish. Even to complete strangers if they gave him the chance he I would tell any and everyone how he has the most amazing wife and children. Of all the radical and ridiculous things I thought he said from time to time but never once did I hear him complain about his wife our kids and he would literally do anything for all of you. And the point of all of this is that Paul Budish served his time here on earth being the hands and feet of Jesus, loving & providing for his wife and children and loving Jesus. Jesus delights in Paul and I know he has a beautiful place waiting for you all to join him there one day. I know that knowing that does not take the pain you all are feeling away but I will pray every day that it can help ease some of it for you all. Love you all and Paul so very much and please if you ever need anything do not hesitate to ask! ❤️❤️. - former employee

Paul founded Errand + and along with Luke Albertson, Jeremy Hunt, Jonathan Thompson and many others we worked together to build it into Accell.co (delivery/courier). In the many years since 2003, he helped many by providing jobs, coaching, love and much more. And the fruits of his impact can be seen today. MN Delivery Solutions, True Line Express, and other new business and careers have been launched because of the Accell.co connection and specifically Paul's leadership. He was truly one of a kind....as a former employee Matthew Leith said "if we can take a piece of Paul with all of us, all our hearts will grow another size". - partner

I’m remembering Paul Budish as a boss, mentor, husband, father, and friend.

Paul started my career with Accell Courier and I am forever grateful for him making me apart of the company he founded.

As a boss and leader the culture he created was one of a kind. He made us feel like family. He was always thinking of ideas and directions for the company. He was one of the most optimistic people I knew. He was a great leader and mentor and I’m thankful for all that I learned from him.

He was just as importantly a friend. He was caring and supportive of everyone. I remember having so many passionate discussions with him. We would talk Vikings football and our delusion of this being our year every year. I’m going to miss his thoughts and opinions on many things.

He was such a supportive father and husband to his wife and kids. He was active in their sports and activities and I always admired him for that. I still can’t fathom their loss and I ask everyone to lift them up anyway you can.

paulbudish.com has been set up in his honor. You are able to donate to his family and show your support there. If you knew him please take a moment to send them a message.

I’m thankful I was able to talk with him last week but heartbroken I didn’t get to say goodbye to such a wonderful man.

Rest in God’s paradise Paul. We miss you dearly. I love you Budi.👊🏽 🥃✝️
