Continuing Paul Daubner's Maritime Legacy

To honor Paul's extraordinary life and legacy after his journey through Stage IV Lung Cancer, his family has established this fund to support the California Maritime Academy, an institution he deeply valued and supported throughout his career. His son Max, a proud alumnus and current master's student at Cal Maritime, followed in his footsteps and shares his father's lifelong passion for the sea. Through this initiative, we aim to continue Paul's legacy by empowering and inspiring the next generation of maritime leaders, just as he did through his love of mentoring new mariners.

Donations collected through this GoFundMe campaign from his cherished friends and colleagues will directly benefit California Maritime Academy in his name. They will help develop the educational programs that profoundly influenced Max’s own life, and ensure future generations can pursue their passions in the maritime industry.

Thank you for honoring Paul's remarkable legacy by preserving his spirit and lifelong love for our close-knit maritime community.

Fair winds and following seas, Paul. You will forever be missed.
