Ryan J. Boudreau

My name is Janice Bad Heart Bull (Swick/Clay). I was in Ryan's life in the 80-90's. He was a great kid. I still see that sparkle in his eyes and the warming smile. I'm sorry I just read about the accident on the internet today, since I've been on the westcoast for over 15 yrs. My heart really goes out to Ryan's family I know how hard this is for them.

Jameelah,

My name is Kevin Cariato, and I loved Ryan as a son. I am the Chicago Police Officer who arrested Ryan when he was 16 for running away, only to have him come live with me for years. I own a shipping company and have been out of the country for the last 12 months, and horrifyingly just found out about my boy last week.

I am completely devastated, and my heart goes out to you, the children, and his family.

Ryan had a smile that would make you melt, and a heart...

To all the friends and family of Ryan, my deepest sympathy. I only knew Ryan briefly in his teen years (through his father Joe) and he was very sweet and charming. I can see he became a wonderful young man. I'm so sad to hear of this.

Thank you all for your thoughtful words. There is a Moving Tribute now dedicated to our memories of Ryan that may now be accessed by clicking on the "Moving Tributes" link found just beneath his obituary. We invite you to share in it with us.

Sincerely,
Ryan Boudreau's family

Ryan was a very special person in my life. I have only known him a little over a year, but in that time we shared so many memories that i will forever cherish. I was fortunate enough to have spent his last weekend with him and i am blessed that my last memory of him is running around the apartment with his roomates/friends having a watergun fight.

I am the mother of Ryan's two children, ages 3 and 5. He was a wonderful father and he kept smiles on everyone faces. I love him so much and I feel blessed for him to have been a part of my life. Even more pleased am I to have been given the gift being able to keep a part of him with me at all times (Our children) It feels so good for the children and I to see how many people are reaching out and sending their condolenecs this way. It definitely helps in the healing process.
