It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of a true gentleman. Ruddy "Love" Maldonado. He embodied the essence of the word "love" in physical form. A loving husband, father, son & a friend to so many, unfortunately passed away in a motorcycle accident on Wednesday, July 14, 2021, in Providence, Rhode Island. He was 31 years old.
He is survived by his wife Tifany, four children: Ruddy, Naomi, Matthew, and Mya. Along with his three siblings Alex, Kevin, and Bridgette.
Ruddy was born in New York on March 8th, 1990 and was later raised in South Providence, Rhode Island. Like many others with similar background, he faced a number of trials and tribulations. Deciding to turn his life around in his early 20’s Ruddy turned to God. Throughout his journey of committing his life to Christ, he inspired others to follow him, and spread the love and word of God. Up until his final days Ruddy’s faith never wavered, even with his parting he continues to motivate and encourage his loved ones and all of the lives he has touched to trust in a God he so firmly believed in.
Ruddy built his foundation in Woonsocket, RI where he planned to raise his family. With his passion in remodeling, he was able to start a successful business, Style & Innovations, where his goal was to help other families make their dreams come true. Ruddy took pride in his hard work and his business which he built from scrap with determination to make a better life for his wife and children. He was on his way to becoming a leader and staple in the Renovation community making Style & Innovations a household name.
Ruddy’s main priority in life was to provide for his family. From building their first home and welcoming Naomi in 2017, Ruddy’s love for his family only grew every day. He was through in through what you call a family man, making sure no matter what he was always there at the end of the day to tuck his children into bed. Although he was mourning the recent passing of his mother, Margarita Diaz, he was as selfless and supportive as always. He constantly searched for ways to be in the service of others.
Ruddy inspired many, he is a corner stone of his family. Although he was tragically and suddenly taken from us, the memories and moments he blessed us with will continue to shape who we are for years to come.
Visitation will be held Sunday, July 18th from 6pm until 8pm in the Keefe Funeral Home, Five Higginson Ave, Lincoln. Burial will be private.
