Remembering Ryan Davis, 1979 - 2013

Fuck :(

Rest in Peace Ryan Davis.

I was just finishing up listening to his last podcast on the way to work this morning, finished it off just as I signed in.
 
ok, I cried. I've been a follower of Ryans since gamespot. The dude is just great. I liked his taste in games and he seemed like a very nice man. Like he was everyones friend. When have you heard people bitch about Ryan? Never. Just so sad. I'm glad that he at least loved what he did in life and was able to share some time with a person he fell in love with. He went out on top of the world in happiness and love.

I will miss hearing your voice Ryan. Thank you for all the laughs and inciteful information in my favorite hobby. If there is a heaven, I hope to see you there one day.

I can't imagine how his wife, family and friends feel. Him and Jeff were like brothers. They saw each other almost everyday, weekends included. They were bestfriends. I feel like I lost a friend. Maybe because I had this phantom relationship where he told me about games in the bombcast and stuff and I listened.

I'm very sad right now and can't explain it.


I'm sad that I can't hear his voice anymore or watch him cover PS4, XBO and Wii U stuff that upcoming.

Just a very, very, very sad day for gaming.

Wow. According to the reports, he died that day. So terribly sad.
 
Holy Sweet Jesus! I can't believe he passed away and he just recently got married. :(

Bombcasts aren't going to be the same with hearing his voice opening the Bombcast. My heart goes out to the entire Giant Bomb crew, Gamespot alumni that worked with him, families and particularly Jeff who was BFF's with Davis. Sad day in "games journalism" industry.
 
holy shit

I loved listening to this guy on the bombcast, he had a great personality and was a great part of gaming media, this really sucks...

my condolences to his family and friends
 
Yeah, this is pretty much the most personally hard-hitting news this year. I don't even know what to say. I've been following these guys since the Gamespot days and Ryan has always been a terrific host. Jeff, Brad and the others, hang in there.
 
Just when I though Alex's tweet about not being ready was about him not being prepared for the morning show he and Patrick was planning...

I read every post here since page 1 because I wanted one of them to be the one that said this was all a joke.

RIP Ryan. You will be missed.
 
People, you guys need to stop caring about how he passed and care more about how he wants to be remembered, for being funny, nice and loved videogames.
 
Terrible news.

Hope family and friends are coping well.

Been a fan since the gamespot days, couldn't believe the news when I first saw it. Wish this was a sick joke

Probably. He was huge.

Taking too much of a drug under the right (er, wrong) circumstances can kill anyone. Getting married, tons of heat, being in pain, drinking alcohol, eating more than usual, having a near total lack of sleep and overdoing it just a little bit on pain pills... yeah, at that point pretty much anyone is at risk.
 
I'm still in shock at this. Ryan, you are one of the greats, one of my favorite games personalities, and you sounded like the coolest guy to hang around. It'll be a while until I can summon the courage to listen to a Bombcast. Rest in peace, sir. It's been an honor.
 
RIP- I'm just catching up on my Bombcasts when I read about this (I dunno if I can finish the episode at this point). I'm at an utter lost for words. My sincerest and most heartfelt condolences goes out to his wife, family, as well as his closest friends. Bombcast has been a weekly ritual for me ever since episode one. Wherever he is, I hope that he knows how much joy he has brought to not only those around him but to people like me who have never had the opportunity to know him personally.
 
Even though I never met him in person I feel like I have lost a friend today. I have been listening to him years and will miss his awesome personality. My condolences go out to his family and friends....the world has lost one of the good ones.
 
Gave my condolences in the other thread, but man, like how the hell does GiantBomb function after this? What makes them so great, is they're like a big goofy family, losing one of their key members is absolutely devastating. Still in shock to be honest.
 
I just don't know what to say, the crew have become almost cemented in my weekly life threw their work, it almost feels like I know them even though I don't. Sad sad sad news and so soon after he just got wed, RIP Ryan and thoughts to his family and bride.
 
No fucking way.
Huge fan of Giant Bomb here. Been following Jeff, Brad and Ryan ever since their young Gamespot days.
I kind of feel as if I've lost a friend. This sucks.
 
RIP Ryan. Followed Ryan's work for a huge portion of my life, since the early Gamespot days. Reading this news I was surprised how the passing of a man I never knew personally could bring tears to my eyes.

I'm happy to see his name trending worldwide on Twitter, but sad it's not for the right reasons. Today the industry truly lost one of our greats.
 
I listened to his voice every week for the last three years. I still can't believe it.

I never purchase stuff like this but I would buy this as a tribute to the man that contributed to making my life a little easier to deal with during the work week.
 
Man.. This is so awful.

Ryan seemed like the coolest guy, just so funny and happy to be around.

My heart goes out to his family, especially his wife.
