Funeral arrangements for 5th grader in Bolles School rope swing accident

Funeral services have been announced for the 5th grader who died in an accident on the rope swing at Bolles Middle School.

Viewing for Ryan Perry will be Friday at Ortega United Methodist Church starting at 6pm.  A memorial service is planned Saturday at 11am at the same church.

"We are heartsick by the sudden loss of Ryan Perry," Bolles Head of School Brian Johnson said in announcing the services to the Bolles community.  "No words that I can add would do justice to the loss that his family and friends have experienced and are experiencing now.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Perrys, their friends, and loved ones."

The 10 year-old was playing on the obstacle course at Bolles Middle School last week when he got caught in the rope swing.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking that any donations be made to Jacksonville Humane Society, 8464 Beach Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida 32216 or Westside Soccer Club, 5345 Ortega Boulevard, Jacksonville, Florida 32210, either online or by mail in memory of Ryan Perry.
