Ryan Maurice Paltrow

Ryan Maurice Paltrow, 52 of Deltona, Florida passed away suddenly on June 17, 2024. Ryan was born to Deneida Malave and Jefferey Paltrow on January 26, 1972 in Ponce, Puerto Rico. He grew up in Miami, Florida and carried Puerto Rican and Jewish roots.

Although Ryan was a man of many gifts including working on cars and riding anything with wheels, he spent his best days creating music that was ahead of its time and highly respected within the music community (you can find "Zelon - Runaway Love" on YouTube). He was a man of many talents and had a knack for making people laugh, whether with genuine humor or idiosyncrasies. He loved fast food, buttered pasta with parmesan, pasteles and a perfectly cooked steak, complemented by a Crown on the Rocks and a clove cigarette for those who knew him well. He had a love for particular accessories like silver jewelry, impeccably ironed designer shirts, and his cherished cologne.

Ryan was a musician, producer, drifter, creative, handyman, and someone who loved in his own way, approaching life on his own terms. His infectious presence left a mark on everyone he met. He loved both the sunrise and sunset. If you come across either, know that he's enjoying it too.

Though Ryan has departed from this world, he lives on through the memories and impact he made on others. Despite any controversies or hardships, his core was filled with love. To his family and friends, every moment shared with Ryan-whether good, bad, or in-between-is treasured. He was a force of nature with an unparalleled drive that set him apart from the rest.

Those left to cherish the memories are his only child, Mia Paltrow Murray; siblings: Steven Paltrow (Rachael Paltrow), Derrick Paltrow (Daisy Paltrow), David Paltrow (Abigail Paltrow), Mary Nelson, Jessica Paltrow, Rachael Paltrow; nieces and nephews: Seth Paltrow, Aron Paltrow, Joshua Paltrow, Sarah Paltrow, Conner Shirley, Kaylee Paradis, Chloe Paltrow, Emma Shirley, Allie Shirley, Peyton Blackwell, and Everly Paltrow.

At the family's request, a private service has been held. They kindly ask that any donations made in his honor be directed towards Latino Recovery Advocates (lararecovery.org) or The FLHR collective (flhrc.org). Any contribution is greatly appreciated.
