To Barry and Stella,

I want to express my deepest simpathy's to your family at this time of trouble. I only met Ryan one time but I feel like I new him much better with the way Barry talked about him. I still double check that I put gas in my car and not diesel fuel. The memory of your son will live on in those who new him best. May peace return to your house and in your hearts.

I didn't know Ryan that well, but I graduated from Freeman with him, and my heart aches at your loss. Know that you have Freeman praying for you.

Patty, as your oldest brother, I've watched you grow and face the many challenges which God has placed in front of you. I know if you look toward God, he will help you through this as well. Ryan was my first Nephew and my God son and he will be missed terrible by all that loved him and those who would have gotten to know him. You are in our prayers daily and we have a HUGE prayer circle here in Tampa praying for you and Ryan (I mean huge), if you're not feeling the love, you will. Take time for yourself and remember all the happy moments with Ryan and remember he will be with you in your heart and memories for ever.

love Michael, Dolly, Tony and Andres

I'm really sorry to hear about this. It's a shame. I played football and took Spanish with Ryan, and he had a knack for taking care of business despite adversity. He was a good guy.

I knew Ryan in middle and high school, one of the few who went to both schools with him. I was very saddened to hear of our loss of Ryan. Know that throughout the time I knew Ryan he was always kind, generous, and willing to help anyone.

Dear Feldman Family,

I lived with Ryan freshman year and I always enjoyed watching late night tv with him, usually he was the only other person in the dorm awake, and watching him play pool in the lounge. I also worked with Ryan in two group projects and he always had great ideas. He will be missed.

Dear Feldman Family,
I was acquainted with Ryan through some of my classes at Freeman and last year I began seeing him around campus here at JMU. Ryan sticks out in my mind as someone who was always pleasant and content. My heart goes out to you and your family. Ryan remains in my thoughts and prayers.
