I can't image the pain you are going through right now. The process of grief is so individual but throw in drug addiction and overdose and this makes it so much harder. Although your son is gone he has left a legacy of love with you. Thank you for your courage and love to share his story and challenges. Look at the impact it is making already. ❤

I did not know Ryan. It was suggested that I read the obituary. My friend knew I'd be moved. I'm a recovering addict originally from the Utica area. I'm heartbroken from reading this. It's directness, and reality is appropriate. I'm sorry he died this way. I'm sorry you had to experience the powerless of loving someone who was so terribly lost. Know you did your best. Peace to you all.

Ryan,
May you reach Heaven!
Family ,
I'm so very sorry.
I come from an addicted family and the only way to fight off the demons is with Jesus Christ!
Not easy even to this Day, but surrendering to Jesus Christ we have hope.
Praying for you during this difficult time of grieving .
Credit for your courage with honesty.
Let's not take the legal drug Acohol for granted either.
Countless lives and families destroyed by The Devil in a Bottle!

I never met you or your family yet I shed a tear for you!
Thank you for the honesty and courage in your message, no doubt it was not easy to do.
Too long have the victims of drugs have been swept "under the rug"!
Please find comfort in that He is at peace and is whole in the presence of our Creator and always remember the good times when you think of Him.
Remember the Love.
