On July 9, 2014, 13-year-old Bryan Jacob Stay and four other members of his family — parents Stephen and Katie Stay and siblings Emily and Zach — were killed in the family’s home in Spring, Texas. The only survivor was 15-year-old Cassidy Stay, who reportedly played dead and later alerted authorities. The attacker, identified as Ronald Lee Haskell, is said to have posed as a FedEx worker to gain entry; he had recently divorced Katie Stay’s sister and was described as looking for his ex-wife.

After the killings he went toward a neighbor’s house but was intercepted by law enforcement and was arrested hours later following a standoff. The community response was large: funerals drew about 1,500 people and supporters raised more than $300,000 to help Cassidy and the family with expenses.

Does anyone have firsthand memories of the neighborhood or knew the Stay family who can share what Bryan was like?
