Ryan Dorsey Breaks Silence on Ex-Wife Naya Rivera's Death: 'Josey Will Never Forget Where He Came From'

Naya Rivera‘s ex-husband Ryan Dorsey is breaking his silence on the former Glee actress’ death.

It has been almost two weeks since Naya‘s body was found in Lake Piru after she went missing on July 8. She went out on the lake in a boat with her four-year-old son Josey that afternoon. Authorities believe that the lake’s currents made the boat drift away while they were swimming and she used all of her energy to get Josey back in the boat, then didn’t have enough energy to save herself.

Ryan took to Instagram on Saturday (July 25) to release a heartbreaking statement.

“This is so unfair…there’s not enough words to express the hole left in everyone’s hearts. I can’t believe this is life now. I don’t know if I’ll ever believe it. You were just here… We were just in the back swimming with Josey the day before. Life just isn’t fair. I don’t know what to say…I’m thankful for our times and our journey that brought us together and gave us the sweetest and kindest smart little boy we could ever hope for,” Ryan said.

He continued, “I remember sometimes you used to get annoyed at me: ‘Ryan can you stop snap chatting!’ Haha. I’m glad I didn’t listen to you because I have hundreds and probably thousands of snaps and videos that Josey will have forever and know his momma loved him more than life, and how much fun we had together as he was growing up.”

“Life is all about good times and bad times but with Josey it makes the bad a little less so because a part of you will always be with us. He’ll never forget where he came from. We miss you. We will always love you. Love you Meep. 🖤💔🖤,” he said.

Ryan concluded, “♥️To everyone that reached out and I haven’t had a chance to or just didn’t get back to you…thank you all for the overwhelming love and support you’ve sent our way. I’ll just say in closing, be kind to yourself, be kind to others, forgive… forget… don’t hold grudges…. if you have nothing nice to say maybe try not to say anything. There’s peace in silence. Time on Earth is precious and you just never know….you never know what could happen. Hold your loved ones close, and cherish the times you have with those you care about. ♥️”
