By now you probably heard that the NJ Motocross community lost one of our own. Ryan Patterson and his Mom Diana were the victims of a double homicide at their home in Hammonton home on Thursday morning.

MXPTV’s Matt Wozney added this post to his website. It includes the news clip and several videos that he worked together with Ryan on.
