Paul Borscheid of Hutchinson, MN, passed away peacefully on August 4, 2024, at the age of 71 at Hutchinson Hospital after a 13-year battle with Alz­heimer’s. Paul was born on November 5, 1952, to Donald and Ruth Borscheid in Buffalo, MN. He grew up on a farm near Buffalo and later attended St. Cloud State University, where he earned degrees in Math­ematics and Physics. After graduating, he began a career as an engineer at HTI, where he worked for over 30 years. After moving to Hutchinson, he met his future wife, Judy Baklund. They married in 1987, and Paul became a stepfather while also welcoming two more children into their family. Paul’s children were his pride and joy, and they fondly remember his unconditional love and support. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, playing horseshoes, and was an avid runner. He participated in numerous races and proudly took first place in his age group countless times. Even after moving to Ecumen Oakview Court, Paul’s love for running never waned, making it the safest place for him.
 Paul is survived by his wife, Judy Borscheid. Children Heather (Leyse) and Zak Langley, Hope Hagert (Bors­cheid), Evan and Stephanie Borscheid. Grandchildren Jackson and Benjamin Hagert, Ryker and Aubrey Borscheid, and Ella Langley. Siblings Carol Gilles (Borscheid) and Tim, David Borscheid, and John Borscheid.
