An investigation into the stabbing death of an Odessa man continued Thursday as family and friends grieved the loss of 26-year-old Ryan Adam Moon.
"I'm still in shock," said Stephanie Mariscal, Ryan Adam Moon's ex-girlfriend. "I'm still upset about this."
Mariscal said she heard about the loss of her former boyfriend Thursday morning when Moon's mother called her.
"She told me, and I couldn't believe it," she said. "I mean, we were first together in high school and went out for 10 years altogether."
Mariscal said Moon's mother was very upset and said "it's not a good time for her right now."
Detective Sgt. Paul Shepherd said in a news release that Moon was stabbed in the chest in the 700 block of Bunche Avenue. Moon was taken to Odessa Regional Medical Center by a private vehicle where he later died.
Mariscal said she was surprised by the violent nature of Moon's death.
"He wasn't the type of person to put himself in this situation," she said. "I don't know who'd want to do this to him."
Shepherd said Christopher David Lyson, 29, was arrested in Midland with help from the Midland Police Department and charged with murder. Lyson remained Thursday in the Midland County Detention Center. Bond had not been set Thursday.
Odessa police Cpl. Sherrie Carruth said two two suspects were interviewed in Midland, but no other arrests had been made in the case.
Bunch Avenue resident Larry Flax said the fight that woke him up isn't a normal occurrence on his street.
"They woke me up and I couldn't get back to sleep, but this doesn't happen a lot," he said.
Flax said he didn't know what started the fight, but he knew one of the men involved.
"One of the guys stays here with his mom sometimes," he said, declining to give the name of the man.
Meanwhile, Mariscal said Moon, who went by his middle name, was a caring man.
"He knew when to joke and when to be serious," she said. "We went out for 10 years. He was always there for anybody who needed help."

In Loving Memory
It's been almost a year since my nephew Adam Moon was murdered. His killer is still in jail. The trial was originally scheduled for May 13 but they are waiting on DNA evidence to come back. When a new trial date is set we will make the trip to Odessa to support my sister if that's even possible. I can't imagine what she is going through and nothing anyone can say or do can make it better. Maybe his conviction will bring some type of, some type of what? Closure? I doubt it. Anyway, I wanted to make some type of memorial or tribute here. I'm not sure how or what. We'll see how it goes.

The Calm After The Storm
Sometimes the Lord calms the storm. Sometimes he lets the storm rage and calms his child.
What a week last week was. It rained every day. Yesterday the storm was so bad it blew the roof off a building at the Dallas Cowboys training center. Today is cloudy and dreary but at least it isn't raining.
I hope the storm is calming for my sister as well. Her x-boyfriend (she left him about 3 months ago) was killed in a car crash. We went to his funeral Thursday. She is so sad and feels so guilty for leaving him. She had started going to church with us in the last month or so. I don't think she had been since she was a child. I am thankful for that. I guess God was preparing her for what was to come. I left my Bible with her the night it happened. I begged her to read it. She didn't.
We had a long discussion during the drive down to San Antonio for the funeral. She said she does enjoy the church but isn't sure what she believes. She feels like it's a free counseling session. I told her it was far from free. Jesus paid the price for her on the cross. I'm not sure I helped her at all. She didn't make it to church this morning. I will continue to pray for her. I found a great article I may send her (copy below) about why God allows terrible things to happen. Maybe it will help.
Our loving and merciful God has a perfect plan to use suffering to accomplish His threefold purpose. First, He uses pain and suffering to draw us to Himself so that we will cling to Him. Jesus said, “In the world you shall have tribulation” (John 16:33). Trials and distress are not something unusual in life; they are part of what it means to be human in a fallen world. In Christ we have an anchor that holds fast in all the storms of life, but if we never sail into those storms, how would we know that? It is in times of despair and sorrow that we reach out to Him, and, if we are His children, we always find Him there waiting to comfort and uphold us through it all. In this way, He proves His faithfulness to us and ensures that we will stay close to Him. An added benefit is that as we experience God’s comfort through trials, we are then able to comfort others in the same way (2 Corinthians 1:4).Second, He proves to us that our faith is real through the suffering and pain that are inevitable in this life. How we respond to suffering is determined by the genuineness of our faith. Those with faith truly from God, “the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2), will not be crushed by suffering, but will come through the trial with their faith intact, having been “proven through fire” so that it “might be found to praise and honor and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 1:7). Those are the ones who do not shake their fists at God or question His goodness, but instead “count it all joy” (James 1:2), knowing that trials prove that they are truly the children of God. “Blessed is the man who endures temptation, because having been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him” (James 1:12).Finally, God uses suffering to take our eyes off this world and put them on the next. The Bible continually exhorts us to not get caught up in the things of this world, but to look forward to the world to come. This world and all that is in it will pass away, but the kingdom of God is eternal. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36), and those who would follow Him must not see the things of this life, both good and bad, as the end of the story. Even the sufferings we endure and which seem so terrible “are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed in us” (Romans 8:18).Could God prevent all suffering? Of course. But He assures us that “all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28). So even suffering is part of the “all things” that God is using to accomplish His good purposes. His plan is perfect, His character is flawless, and those who trust Him will not be disappointed.

Easter Sunday - Amazing Love
What a wonderful Easter it turned out to be. The weather didn't cooperate but oh well. We had planned to go to Dallas Blooms but it was cold and wet so we had an indoor egg hunt after church. I made Easter baskets for Caleb and Colten. I baked Martha Stewart's orange glazed ham. I baked an Easter cake that came out kinda cute and chocolate covered strawberries. I think everyone enjoyed it. They ate it anyway if they didn't.
With all the eggs, bunnies, and good food we tend to overlook why we're celebrating so I made it a point to reflect on what this day really means. How amazing it is. I think the song "You Are My King (Amazing Love)" by The Newsboys says it all. I love this song.
I’m forgiven because You were forsaken
I’m accepted, You were condemned
I’m alive and well, Your Spirit lives within me
Because You died and rose again
Amazing love, how can it be
That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love, I know it’s true
It’s my joy to honor You
In all I do, I honor You
You are my King
You are my King Jesus,
You are my King
You are my King
