He was hit by a car. Whole family in shock:

FATAL JACKSON TOWNSHIP MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH UNDER INVESTIGATION

Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley D. Billhimer and Jackson Township Police Chief Matthew Kunz announced that the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit-Vehicular Homicide Squad and the Jackson Township Police Department are currently investigating a fatal motor vehicle crash involving a bicyclist that occurred on Farmingdale Road at approximately 12:00 p.m. on June 9, 2024.

On June 9, 2024, at approximately 12:00 p.m., Officers from the Jackson Township Police Department were summoned to the area of Farmingdale Road for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a bicyclist. An investigation by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office Major Crime Unit-Vehicular Homicide Squad and Jackson Township Police Department determined that a 2017 Audi A4 was traveling westbound on Farmingdale Road when it swerved to avoid a head on collision with a red in color SUV. In swerving into the left lane to avoid the crash, the Audi struck a bicyclist. After striking the bicyclist, the operator of the Audi over corrected his steering and struck a tree. The red SUV continued eastbound on Farmingdale Road, and left the scene.

As a result of the crash, the bicyclist was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the Audi was transported to CentraState Medical Center in Freehold for treatment of minor injuries.

Continuing investigation has revealed that the vehicle that may have caused the crash is believed to be a Hyundai - red or maroon in color. The operator of the vehicle is believed to be a Caucasian female with a young male child.

Anyone in possession of information regarding this incident is urged to contact Sergeant Brad Frank of the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office at 732-929-2027, extension 3689, or Sergeant Edward Travisano of the Jackson Township Police Department at 732-928-1111.

I'm sorry for such a tragic episode in his and your family's life. As a former bicyclist, we don't know how many times we are close to such events. May the Holy Spirit comfort your sister, nieces, nephews, and his parents especially as they need strength for those precious broken hearts.

Please show them mercy dear Lord!

Update from my sister:

Bryan!! My Bryan!! My heart is so broken!! I thank God for every day that He gave to us, but I so desperately wish & thought we would have had more. (Bryan was hit by a car while riding with some of his friends from his bike club.)
My world is turned upside down without him in it. This is going to be so F-in hard!! The thought of not having you, Bryan, by my side is truly unbearable!!
You said to me the other day… “ya know Ging, we make a good team!” WE DID!! We were each other’s rock!! We had each other’s back & knew we could always count on each other. I can’t wrap my head around the thought that your time here is done… you had so much more living in you!!
Knowing that you knew how very much I loved you & I definitely knew how much you loved me, helps bring me a little peace in this horribleness! And Bryan, how proud you would be of our kids!! As devastated as they are… & they are struggling, I can see & feel the love & concern that they have for me! (& that goes for Lisa & Stevie too) You can rest easy knowing that I will be well taken care of by all of them!
I’ll love you forever my Bryan!!
Raider said that he didn’t want you in heaven & I told him I didn’t either. I told him each day it will kinda feel like Pops is here cuz we will talk about you & remember & talk about fun things that you guys did together!!
I will never let any of our grandkids forget about you!!! #foreverinmyheartandsoul

God turned our son's death in a bicycle accident 30 years ago from a tragedy into a blessing for the years to come. As result of his and another dear friend's death on the same highway, a bicycle lane has been added to the highway, and there have been no more bicycle accidents since the lane was completed.

We still miss him everyday, and look forward to a reunion in heaven in the near future.

We will pray for God's comforting hands on your entire family in the days and weeks to come. We pray that in this tragedy, you will draw closer to God.

We send you and your family all our love.

UPDATE:

I spent some time at my sister's house over the weekend, and stayed over a couple nights. She lives 75 miles away so although I occasionally see her, I don't spend a lot of time around her. We do talk on the phone a bit too.

She puts up a decent front, but I don't think she's doing terribly well. I found out she still has her husband's half drank water bottle on his nightstand, and the clothes he was going to wear the net day on the settee. Not to mention she hasn't touched his clothes in his closet, tons of stuff in the garage, and elsewhere. This is 14 months after his death.

On top of all that, she was involved in another tragedy 2 weeks ago. She was watching her almost 2 year old grandson. They went out back and she saw her 79 yr old neighbor standing and swaying erratically in his pool, 50 yards or so away, and making a loud weird noise. Not completely unusual behavior for him, as he was a little quirky off and on for the 30 yrs they were neighbors, and he was obscured by foliage, furniture and distance.

Still, something didn't seem right to her. When she looked over a minute or so later, he appeared to be floating. She couldn't tell if he was in distress or not, so she took her grandson, and walked all the way around her house to his back yard. He is married, but his wife has severe dementia and solely sits in front of the TV. You can't communicate with her.

When she got over there, she saw he WAS floating face down in the deep end. She called frantically to him to no avail. She grabbed a skimmer pole, and was able to get him over to the side, but couldn't lift his head out of the water. She pulled a chain he was wearing around his neck, and wrenching her back, (she's 68) managed to get him to the low end steps. But she couldn't get him out, or even get his head out.

All the while keeping an eye on the 2 year old. She forgot her phone, so the both of them raced back to her house and called 911. It took several tries before they picked up, but they sent the police and ambulance. The police arrived first, and the officer also had trouble getting him out of the pool. But he did, and started CPR. They got his heart beating again and took him to the hospital.

They said his heart was strong, but there was no brainwaves at all. After 4 days they took him off of life support and he died.

All this to say please pray for her.
