His brother, Reed Harrington, called him “the best mix” of all the Harrington siblings: “He had the wit of Ryan, the heart of Reagan, and the stubbornness of myself,” he said. “Watching the man he had become, and seeing all the lives he touched, leaves me certain that this world was robbed of a great future,” Reed added.Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows said Ryder Harrington was the brother-in-law of a member of his team, and requested prayers for the Harrington family.
