STILLWATER - Ryder Jon Amodeo, treasured 14 month old son of Dominick and Cristi Amodeo, died tragically on May 9, 2020 at Saratoga Hospital. Born on February 19, 2019, Ryder was constantly surrounded by the love of his parents and his big brother Landon Christopher Amodeo. Ryder had just learned to walk and was starting to enjoy the happiness of life. He loved being held, enjoyed talking on his toy phone, and also enjoyed the company of his singing Lion King toy, that he danced to frequently. A sweet and loving boy, he and his brother Landon were just learning to play together. This was just one of the things in his life that kept Ryder happy, which seemed to be all the time. He was also beginning to share many laughs with his family. In addition to his loving parents Cristi and Dom and his brother Landon, Ryder is survived by his maternal grandparents Michael and Veronica Jones, paternal grandparents John Amodeo and Michelle Bulan, great grandparents Britt(Dawn) Callanan, Regina and Clark Bulan, uncle Evan(Dan) Wilks-Jones, uncle Dustin Davis and many great aunts, great uncles, cousins and friends. In heaven, Ryder is being embraced in the arms of his uncle Dyllan Amodeo and great grandparents Sharon Callanan and Charlotte and Jon Amodeo.
