Bob Ryan's son dies

[Ghost of Ben Dreith]

My sincere condolences to the Ryan family on the death of their son. Regardless of the cause of death, it is an event that we all deal with at some point, but it is never nice/pretty. I hope they determine the true cause of death.

My prayers go out to Mr. Ryan and his family.

No sorrow in life surpasses
the death of one's child.

God sustain his parents!

That is horrible. I just don't get it. I wish they'd all just come home.

He was apparently working for Homeland Security in Pakistan, not the US military in Afghanistan.

Please check Post 19, think that's adressed there

I'm sure a part of the parent dies too.

My heart goes out to the entire Ryan family. That is so tragic. Folks like Keith, putting themselves in danger to serve our country, can never be thanked enough.

My favorite local columnist. I am sorry for Bob, his family, and anyone who knew his young son. A sad day.

Here's a story in the Globe, with some comments from Bob Ryan. Seems like it was suicide.

Thoughts and prayers with Bob Ryan and family. This is just a reminder that Sunday night's Super Bowl is just a game and what's really important--health, well-being, and family--we can sometimes take for granted.

Rest in Peace
