Lives Lost - Lives Shattered

Rest in Peace Ryan. Our prayers will be with your family. May God bless and keep them in his care.

Dear Clark Family,

My deepest condolences to you. Words can not express the loss you have suffered. Our world has lost a great human being and we all suffer with you. Just know that the prayers of strangers are with you to help sustain you in your time of grief.

Dear Clark Family,

Ryan looked like the type of person who was always smiling. What a dark place this world has become without that bright smile of his. You should be proud of him he was a brave and caring person for what he did. God Bless you all.

Dear Clark Family

You have my deepest sympathy. My God strengthen you in the time of your greivance. I really don't know how hard it is to lose a son, but I can read how dear this young man was through the word they express about him. May God continue to easy your pain. My prayer are with you and your family.

Clark Family and Friends:

I didn't know Ryan, but his smile will forever have a place in my heart and mind. He is now an angel with wings, watching over your family and holding you in his arms. Twin, hold on. Your pain may never go away, but try to hold on to the good memories. He is still a part of you, and you a part of him. Stay strong!!

To the Clark Family:
We are so saddened by your loss and the loss of all the families that have been touched by this tragedy. Our son is 22 years old and a senior in college. We cannot even comprehend your grief. Please know that you are in our hearts and prayers

My prayers are with all the families of this tragidy that happened. Rest in peace. It just breaks my heart to know these kids were going to succeed in life and it was ripped out of there hands. I will be praying for all the students and the ones we lost in the shooting and the families of everyone.

Love,
Natalie

To the Clark Family and Friends,
There's nothing I can say that will take the pain of your loss away. Ryan sounds like he was a
very nice young man, and we ALL
mourn his lost. You should be
very proud of him, and I'll keep you all in my prayers

To me, Stack and everybody else on this page are heros - and will always be to me. Their lives are to be celebrated, and remembered for eternity as a part of the VT family. Although we weren't close friends, the times I spent with Stack were memories to always cherish. All of your families will always remember you and look up to what you did, you are in a better place now a place that will always treat you right. Thank you for doing this ABC. -Josh

May sympathy goes out to all the families.

I pray that this society starts acknowledging and realizing that mental health, needs to be taken more seriously in not only this society but all socieites.

We must start taking mental and emotional well being just as serious as heart disease and cancer.

The majority of the news and it's incidents involves for the most part poor mental health.

Let's pray that this society no longer denies and look the other way, because without good mental health and psychological well being for people, everyone and everything is bound to be destroyed and lost.

I would like the School to rename the Drill field "Clarks field" in honor of Ryan's love of music. Thank you,

thinking of you and your family and praying for you

For those who lost a loved one. . .

Dear Clark Family
Just wanted to let you know how much we all grieve over your loss. This is a thing that should never happen. Love is the only thing that can get you through it. God be with you.

Dear Clark Family
Just to let you know we are all grieving over your loss. Ryan will never be forgotten and our prayers and thoughts are with your family. God bless all of you.

Dear Clark Family,
First & foremost, I just not want to but NEED to extend my deepest sympathies for Ryan Clark: a seemingly extraordinary young man who was a son, a brother, a dear friend and the like. When I first saw his picture & read of his accomplishments & what he wanted to further accomplish for his future in the newspaper, I just cried....He just seemed like the kind of young man that would have been a HUGE credit not only to his race, but to ALL of society. Anyone would have been proud to have a son like him. I showed the written article of Ryan to my 18 yr. old son & expressed sadness as well! All I can say to you, The Clark Family, celebrate the life Ryan had, thank the God of the Heavens & Earth the blessings you had having Ryan in your life & that God is a "hearer of prayer".......if you need to, talk about Ryan to ANYONE who will listen. But more importantly, talk to AND pray to God incessently.
My warmest & deepest sympathies!

My thoughts and prayers to your family. My prayer is that you find comfort knowing what a wonderful young man you raised.
