Richard Michael Ciardi

Dear Susan and Rich,
We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. No amount of words can express the pain that you are going through. We are sending you prayers and hope you are able to find strength during this difficult time. May God keep you all in his care. Our deepest sympathy, Rosemary (Dargenio) Reilly (Also Denise, Michelle and Regina)

Rich and Sue I am Heartbroken to hear of your loss. I will always remember watching him with you both down the shop. He brought everyone joy and fun watching him grow up. Everyone loved him. I hope that knowing that others share your grief will help you both through this difficult time. May God keep him in the palm of his hand and watch over you both.

Extending my deepest sympathy to you both during this unimaginable time of grief.

No words can express my feelings at this painfully tragic time. My thoughts and prayers are assured for Richard, his parents and family and all whose lives he touched.

As a parent of a 2020 EOB graduate and classmate of Richard....I cannot fathom the pain of losing a child so young and full of life at the beginning of their adulthood. My deepest condolances to the Ciardi Family, the 2020 Alumni graduates and all those whom Richard touched their heart. Matthew is still trying to come to terms with this loss although they were not close friends. But he and I agree that this loss is huge.

Heavenly Father, we are crying to you in trouble. Deliver us from our distress, for we are empty and lost. We don’t know what to do or how to cope with life after the demise of a child. Lord, give us the strength to go on and help take one step at a time as we come to terms with what has happened. Father, hold us and console us for it is only in You that we can find the strength to go on with life. Thank you, Lord, for answering our prayers. In Jesus’ holy name, all who believe and pray said Amen.

Richard worked at the same place as my 17 year old son. Also went to EOB though different grades. News of his accident and passing still tears me up, even though I never met him and my son only knew him in passing. My heart goes out to you, Mr. and Mrs. Ciardi. To lose the child so many hopes, dreams and love went into is an unimaginable pain. God bless you all.

We will hold our precious memories close to our hearts. We miss you every second of every day. Our hearts ache with every breath we take. Until we meet again
Aunt Sue, Uncle Marc and Adam

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Richard will be deeply missed by all.

My thoughts are with Richard's family and friends..... such an unimaginable loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the pain you are both feeling. I remember him playing little league baseball with Edwin! He was always smiling. We don’t understand why he was taken so soon from this world but I am sure he is an angel looking over his family.

Richard’s smile was contagious. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am deeply saddened by your immeasurable loss. May you and your family find the strength to cope.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your son. Your special memories of him will always be there in your heart. Know that he will walk beside you wherever you go until you meet again❤

Sue, May memories of Richard and the love of friends and family surround you and give you strength in the days ahead.

It was such a pleasure to be your assistant soccer coach for the past three years. I was so proud when you made the all league team as a senior player with Mateo. You will be forever in our thoughts and prayers Richard!

I was one of Richard’s soccer coaches when he was in middle school at DMS. I was a sophomore at Derby High School when he was an 8th grader on the team and every practice he was full of energy and confidence and never gave up even when he couldn’t take another step. Sending my condolences to Richard’s family and friends back home in Derby.

I miss you so much my beautiful son.

Sue and Rich: My heart goes out to you both. No parent should have to bury their child. My thoughts and prayers go out to you both. I’m so sorry for your loss. May the love of friends and family get you through this.

YOU worked hard for me, YOU learned what I taught you and YOU made the right decisions when they were needed. Heaven has a SOCCER field specially for YOU!! Your forever COACH

The right words are so hard to find. Sending you prayers for strength as you find your way through each and every day.
With my deepest sympathy,

Dear Sue and Family, I am very saddened to hear of the loss of your son. May our dear Lord wrap his arms around you and your husband and comfort you both.

Richard was a pleasure to have as a student. I will always remember his smile and his sense of humor.

Our City is a sadder place without your smile in it. I’ll always remember your smile and your fancy footwork at soccer along with your kind heart and friendship with Kait. Sending my best to all your loved ones and friends.
