Remembering Ryan Davis, 1979 - 2013

What. The. Fuck.

Horrible horrible news. I am so fucked up right now. Ryan was so fucking passionate about games. So passionate about food. About New Balance. About awesome shit. About life. I dug Ryan because he didn't dwell too much on the cynical side of shit, and just balls out embraced the crazy, and put energy into the shit he loved. All my thoughts go out to his widow, his family, the Giant Bomb crew, and anyone who loved games and people who the loved fuck out of this dude.

Rest in peace, Ryan, you magnificent bastard.
 
I know it's too soon possibly, but I'd like to know what we could possibly do to show our love and gratitude. I was thinking we should send flowers to his wife as a way to give back all the love that man has given to us.

Lets make it happen!
 
wow, here i'm sitting enjoying the first day of my summer vacation and reality comes rushing in hard and fast :(

this is one of the very few times the death of someone i don't even know in real life really gets to me... so so sad :(

rest in peace ryan!


i'm turning 34 next year... makes you think...
 
I never met him personally but I feel like I lost a friend.

He sent me this picture once over twitter. I feel like I have to share it.

My heart dropped when I read this in HaloGAF. Could not believe what I was reading. I still can't believe it. No fucking way.

RIP, I loved the guy so much. I feel like crying.

Seconded.

I only wished that Ryan passed away peacefully. He's lived such a happy life and seemed like that dude you'd want to hang out with forever. I can only imagine how Jeff and the rest of Giant Bomb are feeling right now, since they've been friends for so long.

And nanners... her tweets are so heartbreaking. Damn it all...
 
Man, I'm pretty upset about this. I remember watching him on On The Spot years ago and thinking him and Rich Gallup were just hilarious. Followed him ever since, through Gerstmann-Gate, to Giant Bomb...
Just such an incredible host and funny/happy person. Having listened to so many podcasts and videos featuring him, and for him to go at such a young age... this is heartbreaking. I can't even imagine what Jeff and the rest of the crew are feeling, when me, someone who merely knows of him through the internet, is getting teary eyed over this.

Cmon man saying stuff like that gives folks the wrong idea. Dude could have had a legit reason since that particular drug is used for pain relief. If you are going to comment about it at least say something that wont be taken the wrong way.

I wasn't saying he was addicted. I don't know that. But if he was, that's unfortunate. In any case, there's little point in speculating and you're right about my statement possibly giving the wrong idea.
 
Wow that is just unbelievable. What the fuck happened, I wonder? I never listed to GB religiously but I could recognize him easily.

RIP man.
 
Gut wrenching! There's little solace in knowing that at least he've died doing what he've loved out of life and had lived to his fullest. Still, we had lost a good person so early.
