Family, friends remember brutalized teen – David Ritcheson
Tagged: family, Mexico, TexasPosted on: July 11th, 2007“As they buried him Tuesday, the family of a Hispanic teen who survived a gruesome racial assault last year continued to question why he jumped to his death from a cruise ship.
During a funeral service attended by more than 200 people, David Ritcheson was remembered as a caring, warm, lovable and intelligent young man who wanted others to be happy and not be burdened by his emotional pain.
Ritcheson, 18, had gone on a cruise to Mexico with some friends on June 30 when early the next morning he climbed a tower on the ship and jumped into the Gulf of Mexico after attempts to coax him down failed.”
