 End it face to face, direct and honestly and SOON.
Your friendship was over when you developed feelings for each other to begin with.
You can tell him that you want to be friends with him, and he might even be willing to try it, but I doubt that is going to work, esp if he does not see the break up coming.
The longer you wait, the worse it is going to be.

 Be kind when you end the relationship. Be honest about everything, even if it will hurt. And of course let this person know that you have the intention of being friends. Don't expect results right away though. Your ex will be hurt for a while. Give him/her some space before you expect to continue as friends. If you are friends with the same people, it will be inevitable to act friendly. If not, you will have to make an effort to be friends again, once this person has moved on.
