Rico Paisley

Rico Paisley August 31, 1948 — June 15, 2026 Sunny Isles Beach, Florida

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rico Paisley on June 15, 2026, at the age of 78. Born to James and Ani Paisley, Rico was one of eight children, shaped by a family that instilled in him ambition and a genuine love of people. He carried those gifts into a remarkable life as an Actor, Stuntman, and Flight Attendant ; yet no title meant more to him than Dad and Grandpa. He was a devoted father to Karega, a loving father-in-law to Charlene, and his grandchild Skyler was simply his greatest joy.

He leaves behind siblings including his brothers Michael, and Ashanti, and his sisters Marilyn, Paula, Diana, and Joanne, nieces, nephews, and countless lives made richer for knowing him. Rico's laughter was always the loudest in the room, and his absence will be felt in every quiet moment that follows.

Deeply loved. Always remembered.
