Ryan Leo Maestas

Ryan Leo Maestas, born on February 14, 2008, in Albuquerque, NM, left this world too soon on October 30, 2025. Ryan lived a vibrant life filled with passion, adventure, and a deep appreciation for the outdoors. He thrived in nature, reveling in the joys of fishing, hunting, and working on his trucks, showcasing his innate skills as a master hunter. Ryan harvested more than ten big game animals during his lifetime, including a magnificent trophy 10-point buck and a stunning 7x7 bull elk. His talents as a skilled mechanic complemented his hobbies, allowing him to breathe life into each vehicle he touched.

Ryan was a beloved son to Steven and Jasmin Maestas and a cherished grandson to Diane Maestas, Elva Gonzales, Lawrence Maestas, and David Gonzales. He will be deeply missed by his aunts Donna Gonzales-Navarro and Denise Gonzales, uncles Felix, Jaime Navarro, and Gabriel Riojas. Ryan's cousins, Emily, Mia, Michael, Aidan, and Ivan Navarro, will carry fond memories of the laughter, adventures, and bonds they shared.

Those who knew Ryan will remember his infectious energy, joyful spirit, and unwavering dedication to his passions. Friends and family are invited to celebrate his life with a graveside service at Roy Cemetery on November 15, 2025, at 2:45 PM. A Mass will be held at St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church, beginning at 10:15 AM, preceded by a Rosary at 9:30 AM. As we gather to honor Ryan's life, we remember the bright light he brought to all who had the privilege of knowing him.
