Author name
November 1, 1949 - November 16, 2024
Paul Victor DeBianchi, 75, of Fort Lauderdale, passed away peacefully and surrounded by family on November 16, 2024.
Born on November 1, 1949, in Suffern, New York, Paul moved to South Florida at seven. A devoted Catholic, family man, friend, and lawyer, he graduated from the University of Miami School of Law in 1973 as the family’s first attorney and served his clients with care for over 45 years.
Beyond his work, Paul was a tech enthusiast and documentarian of family life. He loved traveling the world by cruise ship, and equally enjoyed the simple pleasures of home (including watching Star Trek, and later, Blue Bloods). A loyal Mai Kai fan, he’d be happy to know it reopened.
Above all, Paul was a family man. He was active at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church, an incredible father, and the proudest “Poppop” and Grandpa to his six grandchildren. His unconditional commitment and love for Valerie exemplified the vows of “in sickness and in health.” He taught his daughters the importance of hard work, patience, discipline, and integrity, lessons that will endure for generations to come.
Paul will be forever cherished and is survived by his daughters Jessica and Samantha, their spouses Amir and Tony, grandchildren Paul, Robbie, Isabel, Domenic, Tarek and Luca, sister Loni James, brother Victor DeBianchi, Jr., nieces, nephews, cousins, and loved ones. He was predeceased by his beloved wife of nearly 45 years, Valerie, who passed 5.5 months earlier.
Paul’s legacy of love, resilience, and devotion will live on in the hearts of those who knew him. Though we grieve, we find comfort in knowing he and Valerie’s souls are reunited and at peace.
