In Memory Of: Share Photos and Thoughts About Departed Loved Ones

We have all experienced the death of someone important to us. This is a place we can preserve our memories of these significant people.

Earlier in the week, a reader had an idea to create a page on the site where people can honor special people in their lives who passed away. Following the suggestion, and a spirited discussion on Facebook about doing so, Orland Park Patch now has its own memorial page. Please share pictures, memories and thoughts about your loved ones who are no longer with us. Sign up for our daily email newsletter. Like us on Facebook.

The 15-year-old Sandburg freshman baseball player, who took his life on Sunday, was mourned on the ball field and by his friends through social media.

  Ryan Nash, a Carl Sandburg High School freshman who committed suicide Sunday, was remembered this week in several ways.

He was just a joyful person. He loved hanging out with friends, one of the most social kids I knew. Nobody could talk bad about Ryan.” Ryan Nash took his own life Sunday afternoon. The coroner has ruled his death a suicide. On Monday, Sandburg students paid tribute to Ryan Nash by wearing black. For Tuesday’s school day, they pledged …
