We are so so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you are in. Truly heartbreaking. Sending love and condolences to all.
Andrew and family, Words can’t describe how sorry I am to hear of the loss of your son. Sincere condolences to you all. You are all in my thoughts. Tanya
Dear Laura, Andrew, Averie and Bashton, Words fail me; and I absolutely cannot imagine the depth of grief and loss you all must be struggling with at this time. It was our great pleasure to get to know and spend time with Ryeker and your family during baseball. We will never forget the sweet and patient little baby/toddler who made those long hot days at ball tournaments way more enjoyable with his sweet smiles and giggles as he played in his playpen. We are so sorry for your loss. Much Love, Chris, Will, Ben and Mitch Foster

I am so very sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the pain you are all going through. I noticed that Ryeker was just about to turn three years old. This broke my heart even more - he must have been so excited for his upcoming birthday. I'm assuming Covid is making everything even more trying and terrible, and I'm sorry for that too. You are all in my thoughts and have been ever since I heard the news.

Andrew, Laura, Averie, Bashton, John, Marie and family. I have difficulty finding words to express my sorrow at the loss of your beautiful little boy. I am not with you at the celebration of life as I had planned but please know that you are in my thoughts and will remain there. Sending you my love.
Andrew, Laura, Averie, Bashton John, Marie and family I had expected to be with you at the celebration of life today but my thoughts are with you and will continue to be with you in the future. I remember meeting Ryker at John and Marie's. What a vibrant and handsome little boy! There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss.
My deepest condolences on your loss. My heart is with you all at this time.
John, Marie and family: So sorry to hear about your great loss. There are no words to adequately express our sympathy. Apparently our son Stephen taught your Bashton at Crestwood not knowing he was related to him. Dave and Judi

Our condolences to you and your family for your loss. We knew how much Ryeker meant to your family. He was an amazing young boy and brought joy to everyone who met him and will be missed.
Very sorry for your loss. On behalf of our families Connie and Glen Prentice, Benjamin and Rebecca Bill and Helen Glenn Eunice and Dean Tapscott
Laura and Averie, and your whole family, I want to reach out and let you know that you are all in my thoughts and will continue to be. Ryeker was blessed to have you as a family for his time here, and he will continue to live in you as you find ways to love, remember and laugh again. There is nothing natural or understandable to be a bereaved mother, Laura. I'm here if you ever want to talk. All my love.
I did not know Ryeker very well, but I have been good friends with Averie for a few years now. We have always played games with one another, and little Ryeker would almost always be right there in the back ground always running around or in awe at the dinos Averie had on ark. I did not know him directly but I will miss his presence while we play. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
My name is Cody. Averie's family doesn't know me very well, but me and her know each other. We hangout online and do video chats with many other friends. I knew Rykere ment a lot to Averie, he was her light in dark times a bundle of joy who always welcomed her in open arms and made her feel like she was wanted in this world. Rykere was always in the background when me and Averie chatted over Instagram or a Xbox party. He was always loud, but he was just being a joyful kid who didn't have a worry in the world. Except when he got told no and if a family member had to leave the room for something. This ment he loved his family dearly and wanted to be with them always. When Averie told the news of his passing, I heard the hurt in her voice...I couldn't help but cry for Averie, her family, and for her little brother who had passed. So I didn't know Averie's baby brother well, but I knew he was a blessing to his family. Im sorry for his passing and my prayers will continue to be with you guys. I hope this condolence was good enough for such a wonderful kid like Rykere .
We are so very sorry to hear the loss of little Ryeker. All of our thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with you and your family during this hard time.
To the Aird Family: We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Please know that our thoughts are with you all at this time. Take care. Roslyn (nee Mann) & Rob Smart

Laura, Andrew, Averie, Bashton and family We are beside ourselves with anguish at what you might all be going through. You are a strong family. Hold tight to each other but not to the hurt, weep deeply when your souls call for it but not with regret and allow yourself to ache and mourn but not without joy and laughter. We are here for you. Christine Lanz, Paula Hobart, and Tian Butcher
So sorry for your loss. Deepest sympathy.

It is so strange as I drove past your home John and Marie this afternoon. I am so sorry to read of this loss in your family. Our condolences ❤️Kathy and Harry Livingston.
Please accept my sincere sympathy. Ryeker’s photo shows a handsome, spunky little boy. I hope your wonderful memories will help you through this difficult time.
Andrew and Laura, Averie and Bashton Words cannot possibly begin to tell you how very sorry we are for your loss. Ryeker could sure light up a room with his beautiful, infectious smile. Bless him, may he rest easy in Paradise. I haven't stopped thinking about all of you. I am sending you all of our love and prayers. Hugs for all of you. Patty, Shye and Maiah

I am so very sorry for your heartbreaking loss. What a handsome little guy. My prayers are with you.
We were so very sorry to hear of the death of your little boy and grandson. It is so hard when something unexpected happens like this. My cousin lost a little boy but he was sick for over a year and in a way his loss was a blessing as he was suffering so very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Helen and Bill Glenn
