Speechless - RIP x

 

[Yuripaw]

Oh geez =/ I feel bad for talking bad stuff about Ryan lately. How did this happen?? was he having health issues?

 

[Gambit61]

.....I was really hoping this was just some dumb "Brad is leaving" meme. RIP ;_;

 

[Twinduct]

This is horrible news :/
Shocked as hell, anyone have any clue what happened?
Regardless, fucking terrible news :/

 

[CHusson91]

He seemed like such a pleasant guy. This is awful... RIP.

 

[Monty Mole]

This is incredibly sad - the thing with podcasts etc is that you feel like these people are your friends, even though you've never met them. RIP.

Also, this thread is an almost bizarre read now: http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/off-topic-31/is-ryan-davis-dying-or-just-a-drunk-564780/

Does anyone know how he died? Condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

 

[boredofcanada]

Noooooooooo. You will be missed brotha!!

Condolences to the family and all at GB

 

[SarcasticD]

This truly sucks. I feel for the GB crew and his wife. Shocked.

R.I.P Ryan. You're forever awesome.

 

[Double D]

Oh man, this is terrible. I feel bad for everyone that was close to him. If I feel this terrible, I can only imagine how those who were near him felt. Honestly, words can't express how I'm feeling right now. Terrible, terrible news.

 

[buddha0991]

Fuck Ryan Davis....man that used to be funny, now it just makes me sad. I hope his death was painless and he didn't suffer. Condolences to the rest of the Giant Bomb crew.

 

[DKehoe]

Just horrible. Tragically just remembered that on the last bombcast he was on he said "on the next bombcast you hear me I'll be a married man" Deepest condolences go out to his family, friends and especially his wife.

 

[Flatline]

What. The. Fuck. This can't be real. Jesus Christ.

How did he die?

 

[TunaMarshmallow]

Oh god. This is so sad. Fuck.

 

[imBask]

"hello everyone it's TUUUUEEESDAY"

damn, RIP

 

[Trevelyon]

No more "Hey everyone, it's Tuuuuuuuesday"...

Jeff has to be absolutely devastated.

....or even worse 'Heeeey everybody, welcome to TNT! GiantBomb's weekly multi-player show, I'm Ryan Davis'.

 

[TheSeks]

What happened???

This is what I want to know. Seems so out of the blue that I want to know if it's an accident/health issue or foul play.

 

[Suzzopher]

Wow, this is just awful. My heart and thoughts go out to his wife, family, friends and the Giantbomb guys.

Such a young age, same age as me.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Damn, that's truly sad news. I wish all the best to his family.

 

[PriitV]

No. : (

 

[Devilgunman]

I have no word to express my feeling right now....WTF? Why Ryan?

RIP

 

[RepairmanJack]

Wow, this is just sad. Dude just got married.

 

[Raistlin]

ugh fucking horrible

his poor wife

Spoiler

(husband? I have no idea - just know he got married very recently)

RIP

 

[H3xum]

I wonder if there was a serious accident on the 3rd on his honeymoon and he wasn't officially deceased until the weekend and the GB crew just found out?

 

[bassman2112]

I spent some time with Ryan, and I loved the guy. It's really shocking to hear about this.... I wouldn't even dare to imagine how Anna must be feeling right now...

Beyond tragic, I'm so sorry for everyone affected by this. I am cutting up and disposing of my "Fuck Ryan Davis" shirt as we speak.

 

[lunlunqq]

What the... ? And he's one year younger than me. RIP.

 

[milkybar1983]

RIP

 

[Majine]

Unbelievable. I listen to this guy every week.

 

[Heyt]

I have no words. I'm so sad for him and his friends and family. He just got married! life's so unfair.

 

[Ocaso]

Tragic news. I didn't know him personally, but during the E3 Giant Bomb stream Ryan definitely came across as a funny, genuinely cool guy to hang out with. Condolences to friends and family.

 

[plantedunicorn]

What the fuck? What the fucking fuck? May he Rest in Peace. Damn this must be devastating for his family and friends. He just got married, what the hell.

 

[phosphor112]

Holy fucking shit.

 

[Gong]

Like everyone else I'm in a state of utter shock, RIP big man, taken far too soon :'-(

 

[TKR92]

WTF???????

RIP

Ryan Davis, 1979 - 2013
by Matthew Rorie on July 8, 2013
Giant Bomb has suffered a profound loss.

Ryan Davis passed away on July 3rd. He was 34.

Obviously we’re all stunned over here. Ryan was a good friend to all of us. It’s odd to remember that, for someone who could be so acerbic at times, and despite knowing him for almost a decade, I honestly don’t recall ever actually being mad at him. He had an unconventional type of kindness that expressed itself more strongly the longer one knew him, and despite his teasing nature, he always managed to make his close friends feel loved when his attention turned towards you.

Many of you know that Ryan was recently married. In the face of this awfulness, many of us will at least always remember him as we last saw him: outrageously, uproariously happy, looking forward to his next adventure with the biggest grin his face could hold.

The consolation we can feel from that is miniscule compared to the hole that Ryan’s absence will leave in our lives. That’s not a hole that is possible to fill; it’s just something that we’ll just have to get used to walking around with, and that will not happen for a long, long time.

For who can not load GB

 

[Einbroch]

What the hell is wrong with you?

He may have said it slightly insensitively, but he's not wrong, assuming this is the cause of death. Obesity is a huge issue, and if this news causes just one fan to lose weight and lead a healthy lifestyle then his death won't be in vain. It's not like he said he deserved it. Could it have been stated a little more softly? Sure. But he's not wrong.

 

[Interfectum]

god, he just got married. beginning of a new chapter in his life. man life isn't fair sometimes is it?

 

[Storm Chamber]

Holy shit.

RIP

 

[erawsd]

That is absolutely crushing I didn't know the guy personally but I have great affection for the giantbomb cast. My heart goes out to his wife and family. Any word on how?

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Rest in peace, man.

 

[Takuya]

This is what I want to know. Seems so out of the blue that I want to know if it's an accident/health issue or foul play.

We'll find out i the days to come I imagine.

I'm inclined to say it's a health issue.

But, RIP.

 

[Reg]

Was this before the wedding?

 

[Dragon]

See people, this is why you should exercise. Americas huge fucking problem. I'm not saying obesity caused this but damn. He was such an awesome guy. RIP.

You have no idea of the circumstances and this type of speculation is awful. Stop it.
