Nicole Ward wrote a sympathy message

“Mr. Paul Rio, you were a true light in every room you walked into. To know you was to love you, and I feel so grateful that I had the privilege of knowing you. You became such an important part of my life, and the impact you made on me — and on so many others — is something I will carry forever. Thank you for every laugh you gave so freely, for every moment of support, and for the kindness you showed even on your hardest days. You always put everyone else ahead of yourself, not because you had but because that’s simply who you were — a genuinely giving, selfless soul. We will all miss you more than words can express. The world feels a little dimmer without you, but the love, laughter, and goodness you shared will stay with us. Thank you for everything you were, and everything you gave. Love you ♥️”
