Forgive me but I was searching the internet under the name Boody and found your web. I know a Ryan Boody who lives in Lancaster PA and is my 1st cousin. I know this is not him. However, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. May God comfort you through the Holy Spirit and you will find peace one day. I have 3 sons and can not begin to express the pain you must feel. I'm sure in some past way we are kin to each other. Once again I am sorry.

May peace find its way into your lives once again. I love each one of you!

To the Boody Family,
My mom and I would like to send our condolences. When he worked at Robinson Mall, he would come in and brighten our days with his conversations and smile. We loved him...we both knew he was a good man, a classic "child at heart" personality. Ryan always made me laugh...and even tried to help me get a job in Youngstown, OH at Dakota Watch. He will be greatly missed, for he was greatly admired for his ambitions and creativity.

I only knew Ryan for a short time, yet I was immediately struck by his high level of honesty, maturity, and loving sensitivity towards those around him.
I was devistated and deeply saddened to hear of your loss, and I would like you to know that I have held you and Ryan in my prayers and in my heart over these past couple weeks. May God bless you and hold you in this difficult time.

To The Boody Family,
We are all so sorry to hear of the passing of Ryan. We first met him during Children of Eden. What a wonderful person! Our loss is certainly Heavens gain. Another angelic voice to add to Heavens Choir. Ryan will sadly be missed by many in the theater comunity. There are reasons unexplained but, we know that God will grant you the comfort you and your family need at such a solemn time.

To Ryans family,
I went to high school at CAPA with "Boody", and I always remember him being such a sweet kid and wildly funny.
I try to remember that with every death there is a new life, and Ryan is looking down on us from where there is no pain or suffering. There'll be a time when you see his smile again.
with hugs.....

Dear Cathy, Bruce, Tiffany, and the Boody and Giovengo Families,
I will always remember “Boody” singing at the top of his lungs and convincing everyone around him to do the same. Back in High School, his big goofy grin and endless supply of energy could inspire me to sing, dance, and laugh even on the worst days. He was a truly vibrant, beautiful person. I am so sorry for this tragic loss. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

Ryan was a good friend and a joy to have in my life for even a brief time. He always had a smile for me and was willing to share his vocal talents with the patrons where I work. My deepest sympathies to his family and friends. May God be with you through this time of sorrow.

Dear Family and Friends of Ryan,
When I think of "Boody" all I can do is smile and shake my head! That boy was so silly. I performed in "Children of Eden", "Gypsy" and "Anything Goes" with him. May God keep him and let him in rest in peace. I'm sure he is hanging out with Fosse right now! Be strong for each other.
Thank you Ryan for being a part of my life! I will miss you, dearly!

To Ryans Family...
I went to high school with Ryan. We became good friends while working on a show together. I was in a rough spot in that time of my life, and he helped me so much by making me laugh, smile, or just talking for hours. He was such a kind, generous, funny and talented young man. I will miss him dearly. My thoughts are with you all during these hard times. May God keep you and Ryan in his prayers.

Cathy, Bruce, Tiffany and family:
After reading some of the entries already put into this guest book I hope we all take comfort in knowing that Ryan is looking down on us with that big toothy smile of his that so many people knew. He will always be one of the many angels guarding us and I doubt he would want us to cry over the senselessness of this tragedy; he would want us to toast him with a martini. Love always

I taght Ryan at CAPA, and we enjoyed working together on our fashion shows and and class projects. He had a zest for living --I appreciated the positivity he always brought to the classroom, and the time that he would spend working to make sure that everyone and everything went smoothly. I saw him last Spring, and he was as exuberant as ever, with that infectious smile and the ever present twinkle in his eyes. Please know that my love, thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. May you find Peace in the love and Grace of God.

Let me just say my heart breaks for you. I can't even imagine what you are going through. I will always remember all the laughs we have shared about all the stories and things Ryan did while Cathy and I worked together. When Ryan couldn't find a job and I put the signs in the yard and when you told me he didn't know how to cut the grass and I took the pictures of Connor cutting the grass just to name a few!! My heart and prays go out to you Cathy, Bruce, and Tiffany. May God look over you and attempt to comfort you in these times. My Deepest Sympathy and Love Dave

Mr. & Mrs. Boody, Tiffany, and family,
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Ryan was an amazing person, whose energy and excitement about life filled the room (or theater). I will always remember him for being an extremely warm and compassionate friend, who was there for me when nobody else was. He was one of the dearest friends I have ever known. I will always be thankful for the time that I have spent with him, whether it be singing in his car at full blast, passing out halloween candy, going to Senior Prom (he was the best prom date a girl could ever ask for), or sitting with him at Eat-N-Park drinking coffee and chatting for hours. I am sure you know what an inspiring and wonderful person he was and I feel lucky to have known him. My thoughts and prayers go out to you during this most difficult time.

Mr. and Mrs. Boody,
I don't think I can even put into words the complete shock I am in. Ryan was one of my closest friends during high school. He taught me to dance Fosse, accompanied me to many a school dance, and was a true friend. He was always sensitive, caring, and extremely funny. My heart goes out to you. Ryan was immensly lucky that he had two wonderful parents who loved him as much as you did. I am, honestly, so lucky that I had the chance to know him and have him in my life. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Cathy, Anita, Boody and Giovengo families,
All I can think about is Ryan's dazzling spirit. He was a compassionate, caring, sensitive person. I always enjoyed seeing his smiling face. He had an amazing stage presence and knew exactly how to hold an audience in the palm of his hand. He was talented, handsome, had a profound love for family, and a love of theater that I've never encountered before. He has a large part of my happy memories of CAPA and Just Dance. I am so very very sorry for your loss and heart break. Just know that the entire CAPA community grieves with you, and that you are not alone. Ryan will always be a part of us all.
love

Our deepest sympathies for the loss of such a great kid, a fine, funny soul and a joy to be around. A picture of him and my daughter has been on a table in our living room since they went to a Christmas dance together. There they are, mugging for the camera, filled with the promise and playfulness of youth. We cannot imagine the anguish his family must feel, and will keep "Boody" and his dear family in our thoughts.
