Remembering Ryan Davis, 1979 - 2013

I can't wait until I wake up from this horrible dream.

Because this has to be a bad dream.

I can't even imagine how the guys feel. Or Ryan's family.
To you all, I'm so, so sorry for your loss. For all of our loss.
 
I think it's likely they'll put out a five minute bombcast or so informing listeners what's going on...there are a ton of podcast subscribers that don't visit GB.

But yeah, I understand if the whole site goes dark this week and next.
 
It's actually getting more difficult as the day goes on. I've gotten nothing done since I found out about it.

I'm really glad for this thread and the shared grief.
 
Goodbye Ryan Davis :(

I never was too familiar with his stuff, but it seems he had an impact on countless people and was a genuinely good individual; tragic all around for someone as such to pass away so young.
 
i just had the pleasure of meeting Ryan and the entire Giant Bomb group at the Harmonix Rock Band Night, back in March before PAX. He was a great guy, and was hilarious through-out the night, not having a very large exposure to Giant Bomb outside of the occasional Quick Look and the Persona 4 play through.

To say this is a huge loss of the gaming community at large is an understatement.
 
Just saw the news from a co-worker. I am profoundly sad right now. Someone I've watched and listened to for so many years. I will miss him and feel so horrible for his friends, family (new wife!), and co-workers. RIP Mr. Davis!

Honestly I wouldn't be shocked if it is longer than that.

I just..don't know what they would do. Hire someone new, Keep it at 3-4, Like there are so many questions.. and I hope this does not make jeff want to stop doing what he is doing.
 
Literally can't believe it.

It's just terrible. My heart goes out to his wife and the Giant Bomb crew. It almost feels like I lost a friend. Can't imagine what it must be like for them.

I can't imagine how any of his friends or family, or his wife are feeling and have been feeling for the past few days.

But I've been sitting here for two hours now unable to focus on work. It must be visible on my face because multiple people have asked what's wrong. And it's a hard question to deal with.

I just heard about a death. No, it wasn't family, or a close relation. It was...this guy. He was a larger than life personality and brightened my day at least once a week. He often made a rough day at a job I don't like that much better by making me smile and laugh. No, not a comedian, not per se. He was just a funny guy you like to have around.

A friend died. And it's hard to deal with.

Perfectly stated.
 
My condolences to his wife, family and friends.

34 ...
a few days after his wedding ...

It's official, life fucking sucks ...




I need a drink ;__;
 
Heart breaking.

Listened to the Bombcast every week and love watching quick looks. The Wii Wipeout quick look with Ryan and Vinny is still my favourite quick look.

RIP
 
I just started listening to the Bombcast recently and have been loving it, mostly thanks to Ryan's great enthusiasm and seemingly natural talent for radio. He is already sorely missed by fans of the Bombcast, of that I am sure.

Awful news, my condolences to his family and friends.
 
Oh man RIP, I will never understand him from his videos and podcasts because I'm deaf but I do recognise him with Jeff.

I have seen some of his videos for footage and it seem a nice guy from face expression.
 
I've only been to GB a handful of times and was not too familiar with Ryan, but my condolences to his family and friends. Especially to his recently wedded wife.
 
I never knew you and yet you brought me hours upon hours of laughs. I was never not smiling when consuming a piece of content that you'd put out. Rest in peace, Mr. Davis. Your time came too soon, especially during what I'm sure would have been the beginning of your most precious and enduring relationship. My condolences to his widow, family, and friends.

This sucks.
 
This is crazy sad. So young and always seemed happy. RIP

On a side note, it's awesome and uplifting how the gaming community has reacted and commented to this news. I'm sure you're all plenty aware but there are a lot of idiots who make inappropriate comments at times like these but between this site and the comments on GiantBomb there's been nothing but condolences and sadness. Makes me feel good to be a part of this community. Thanks!
 
Wow. This is almost unbelievable.

I can't imagine how hard it must be on all of his friends, family and colleagues for someone to die so young and suddenly.

He'll be dearly missed by all of the people whose lives he has impacted with his entertaining views and personality.

R.I.P Ryan. Wherever you go from here, I hope it's always Monday.
 
I'm really upset at this, more than I feel I should be. But then at least once a day I'd listen to or watch something on GB with him in it. I knew his voice so well and his personality within the crew. The first thing that came to mind was the photo from his wedding where he looks so happy. I feel so stupid for having it effect me as much as it has, I've only just seen this thread but I feel really cut up about it.
RIP Ryan Davis. You'll be missed for a long time by a lot of people.
 
I feel bad for all of his friends and family, especially his wife. This isn't supposed to happen after the joyous event of getting married. That's just not fair. Life just isn't fair at times.
