Super bummed to hear that Ryan passed.

What a fun, positive guy whose voice has been a fixture during my workouts and commutes. I'll miss his roaring laughs and goofy humor.

Take care Davis family, GB, and everyone else affected. Thoughts and prayers.
 
Thanks Ryan for all the Video game discussion with the GiantBomb crew (and the Gamespot crew before that.) You were a friend of mine who loved video games that I never met but always appreciated listening to. You will be missed.
 
Reading this thread while listening to November Rain live from Tokyo is a really unfortunate crossing of the streams between what I've been reading in Gaming and Off Topic tonight.
 
Every single time I see the thread title I just can't believe it. My stomach drops every time. Too unreal.

Such a profound loss, I can't even imagine how friends and family must feel.
 
This is the video game world's equivalent of John Candy dying. Too early, too surprising, and way way too heartbreaking.
I don't even know what else to say, this is just devastating for so many people. Good luck to everyone close to him and who were fans of him, these will be some poor poor days ahead.
 
Was weird listening to last week's podcast without him. Now I won't be able to listen to this week's with him.

This day sucks.

That's actually a damned good analogy. John Candy and Ryan were both loving human beings that exuded an effortless joy in their careers. Wonderful people.
 
RIP

I'll miss him even though I never knew him, listening to someone for so long, its hard not to feel like you knew them even though you didn't really.
 
Man, I still can't digest this.

Ryan has pretty much been part of my every living day ever since Giant Bomb was made, and a more occasional guest back in the Gamespot days.

Please make me a ribboned avatar as well.
 
I'm truly moved by this sad news. Even though i was never going to meet this guy, he seemed a really nice person who enjoyed his job.
 
Oh my god. this is so awful. I feel genuinely broken up and strung out reading this.

Goddammit, right after getting married. All my wishes go out to his friends, his family and his wife.

I’m so sad right now. It’s really hard to process this.
 
Can't convey how devastated I am.

I'm usually able to keep myself together. Reading about deaths about celebrities, or people I don't know personally but enjoyed doesn't really get to me. I'm usually sad over it, but it doesn't affect me too much.

I never met Ryan Davis. He wasn't even my favorite Giant Bomb duder. But 15 minutes ago I just couldn't help it and I broke down crying.

I'll fucking miss you, Ryan.

My condolences to his family and friends.
 
He filled my ears with podcasting delights every week. I never knew him but he felt like a friend. Good thoughts go out to his family and the rest of the Giant Bomb crew.
 
When I got home from work I saw GAF's Frontpage



  • [*} Ryan Davis has died
  • Star Wars maybe in Kingdom Hearts III
  • A game got 14 million in crowdfunding
  • Mattrick tried to buy Zynga

Man what a weird day. I also got a call that a buddy of mine was involved in a car accident earlier today and another buddy saw someone carried away with a sudden cardio arrest at the gym this evening.

God damn this day is weird. One of the most surreal frontpages I saw on GAF in a while plus personal experiences.

I can imagine all the Asian located people wakingup to Ryan's news. Mark MacDonald already knows according to Twitter.
