It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of 35-year-old Ryan Festa, who tragically lost his life on Sunday evening, February 23, after being found with stab wounds outside a QuikTrip convenience store in Phoenix, near 27th Avenue and Thomas Road. Ryan was taken to the hospital, where he later succumbed to his injuries.
Ryan was a beloved son, brother, and friend who had a kind and caring nature. Though his life was taken far too soon, he will be remembered for the positive impact he made on those around him. His unexpected and senseless death has left a profound emptiness in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who knew him.
Details regarding memorial services will be shared by his family in the days to come.
Ryan’s passing follows a previous tragedy at the same location, and the investigation into this incident remains ongoing. His family asks for privacy as they grieve during this incredibly difficult time.
