Remembering Ryan Davis, 1979 - 2013

I really feel like a dick for my "Jeff Cast = Best Cast" comment in the most recent Bombcast thread... damn it.
 
So sad, I was a great fan of his. Listened to every GB show, watched a ton of his videos [I will always remember his drinking of Certified Breast Milk @ PAX].

RIP, and condolances to GB crew and Ryan's family. :( Next GB Podcast will be a tough one.
 
I can't believe it..its that surreal.
My prayers go out to his wife and the Giant bomb family.
There will be a lot of talk concerning the details of his life and his death, I hope they don't pry to much, it's hardly our business.

Thank you for the entertainment you provided, Rest in peace.
 
Holy crap, this is not the news I wanted to see on my lunch break.

I may not have agreed with Ryan on everything, but he was still a positive force for the industry and clearly a very genuine, good guy. I can't imagine how his family and the GB crew feel right now. So sudden, what a damn tragedy.
 
wow I'm posting a link to Kotaku that means its serious:

If he really died last Wednesday, they did a great job keeping it private so they could mourn personally and not letting someone run to the Internet about it immediately.
 
Speechless. I can't imagine what things are like at Giant Bomb right now. I also can't image what it must have been like keeping this secret for nearly a week.
 
Still can't believe this tbh...

I wonder how Patrick is processing this since him leaving to Chicago is now officially the last time he saw Ryan (scheduling conflict caused him to not be at the wedding).

:( :(
 
I can't even imagine how the people at Giantbomb are feeling right now (not to mention his other friends and family). I'm a huge fan of Ryan "Bryan" Davis and feel sick to my stomach at this news.
 
We've lost literally the most entertaining man in video games coverage. That's nothing though, because everybody who knew him lost, by all accounts, an amazing friend. I'm heartbroken over the news, and it's going to be a long time before I can fully accept that he's gone.

Every time I talked with Ryan, he was super cool. He was probably the most down to earth guy in the industry. He's going to be sorely missed.
 
Oh my god. I cant believe this has happened. 34? And right after his wedding? This is so sad.

Ryan was one of my favourite people off Giantbomb, and he was one of the main reasons I listened to the podcast every week :(

Condolences to his family and friends.

R.I.P
 
In total shock at this news, 34 is way too young. Especially dying right after being married and on your honeymoon, man...

RIP Ryan Davis, you will be missed.
 
Im crying... Rip.....
 
What a depressing day, I don't want to work anymore

So so so :(

Don't know the cause, if it is indeed related to his weight then maybe this can somehow alert people that overweight is a real issue. I am overweight and this is a wake up call at least to me. I have 3 kids and certainly don't want this to happen to me.

I am holding out, trying not to cry, this is so sad, great person, bright future, just married... oh my...
 
RIP

I didn't watch GB that much but he seemed like a cool guy.



I've lost friends to opiates and it's no joke. You can easily OD if you don't know what you're doing or mixing with other substances. Really not much speculation to be had here.

Sounds like that plus with the heat where he was on his Honey Moon, one of his last tweets reads...

"had a bad case on my wedding day. 102 degrees!"
 
Absolutely shocking and disheartening. Seemed like such a nice guy. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. This is so terribly sad.
 
Im not buying this - the man dies on 7/3, Will from Tested airs his podcast the day after and talks about how great the wedding was, and now we are getting semi-serious tweets Kessler, Gertsman and Snider.

Hell, Gertsman was tweeting the usual nonsense up until a few hours ago.

Maybe I'm just in denial.
 
This is beyond awful. Fuckin' A.

Without trying to sound like an ass and I don't know if anyone knows the reason behind his unfortunate passing but I was always worried about his weight. Again, I'm just voicing something that worried me.

My condolences to the GB crew, his wife and family. So incredibly sad. :(
