Remembering Ryan Davis, 1979 - 2013

Just a simple refresh on the Giant Bomb page to see if there was any new content with the usual guys and I get hit with this.

I'm a wreck.
 
I'm two episodes behind on the bombcast. I'm not sure I can even listen to them now. :(

I agree. I know he slept with a bi-pap oxygen mask, or whatever it's called. He mentioned it on the GiantBombcast. It's for people who have sleep apnea and suffer low oxygen levels and blackouts when they stop breathing in their sleep. The condition is rarely fatal, and I'm not speculating, but it's natural to want answers.
 
Man, this really is bothering me. Like everyone else, I didn't know him personally, but when you listen to someone for so long and suddenly they disappear like this it really does hurt. The fact that it happened on his honeymoon makes it even worse.

Feeling really depressed about it. :\
 
Jesus, RIP Ryan, I'm from other half of the globe and I loved you from podcasts and videos... Big loss for family:/
 
Very sad news, loved him on the bombcasts, endurance run, and quick looks since he always made me laugh. My brother is going to be devastated.
 
Wow, this is some of the saddest vg news I've ever read. Completely shocked here, and while some might say obesity is a dangerous thing, 34 is way too young to die....fuck, this is awful

RIP
 
I'm going to miss him on the Bombcast and videos way more than I'd like to admit. What a professional. What a joy inducing personality. This is terrible.
 
Damn. I almost never watched Giant Bomb but I did watch their E3 video with Adam Boyes and the PS4.

RIP. You will be missed by many.
 
I don't know what to say. I honestly clicked this thread thinking it had to be a joke.

Ryan was always the type that could be profoundly funny, or profoundly blunt and a little offensive. But that always made him feel more of a "real" person.

I've listened to the Bombcast every week for as long as I care to remember. I will genuinely miss the sound of his voice.

My heart goes out to his wife and his family - including the guys at Giantbomb.

Rest in Peace, big man.
 
I don't even know what to say. Reading the news at my desk at work and trying not to cry... not doing a great job. Like most of the community, it feels like I've lost a friend.
 
Vinny hasn't posted anything on Twitter yet. I feel so bad for the Bomb crew, it must be hitting them with the weight of megaton bombs.

God, I just can't believe it.
 
I just heard about this and my jaw just fucking dropped.

I don't even know what to say.

My condolences to his wife, family and everybody over at GB right now.

We'll all miss you Ryan! RIP DUDER!!
 
I remember last year I was at a bar in the neighborhood and he and some friends of his were at a booth and I just recall him having the most jovial laugh that made people just smile because that kind of happiness was in stark contrast to the rest of us solemnly drinking our booze. That was my only encounter with Mr. Davis in "real life". My condolences to the friends and family who will be missing that.

And at 34.... fuck :(
 
Been watching and listening to Ryan for the best part of 12 years. I really am shocked can't even imagine what his wife is feeling now :( RIP duder
 
I expressed my grievance in the only way I could. I realize to the outsider this will appear insensitive and rude; but I assure you (and I know Ryan would understand) that this is truly out of love, and respect.

Horrible, horrible, horrible news. Like others have said, this feels weirdly personal.

Best of luck to everyone who knew him. He always seemed like someone who truly loved life. I can only wish I'll ever have half of his day-to-day enthusiasm.
 
You really could make a feature length film tribute to how awesome this guy was, so many great moments over the years. I still can't get over this, 34 years old. It hurts.
 
This has been the most terrible news i have gotten today , really has hit me quite hard and i didn't even know him personally .

He was only young as well :(

I cant even imagine what Jeff and the guys must be going through or even his wife.
