He's more than just a celebrity personality when you've ended up spending literally 1000s of hours listening and watching him. I think a lot of us have underestimated how much that means until now.
Honestly most of my casual conversation humor was learned directly from him, and that humor helped my confidence greatly. He never seemed to need thanks for stuff like that from random guys on the internet like me, but I still appreciate what his creative works have done for me.

Dont think he was. He mentioned on twitter on the day he passed, that he was waiting for a package to be delivered to his house.

This is my favorite thing from all of Bombcast.
Also God damn the Harmonix dudes doing a montage.
I just got back from a long weekend and read this!
It's so sad.
Ryan was such an awesome, sweet, funny guy. Just getting to hang with him at shows, grab drinks or dinner was always fun. I can't remember a time where he had something bad to say about someone. He was always just in good spirits, even tired at the end of a long day or a show.
And he was a real pro about doing things on-air. And who he was on air wasn't an act like some other press personalities I've met on shows. What you saw was what you got. Ryan was Ryan. Period. A happy-go-lucky guy who you just wanted to hang out with and shoot the breeze.
Man... this sucks.

This is unreal, just last month I was thinking of either him or Jeff dying. Mostly because I was thinking about how Game Grump is not the same without John and how weird it will be Giant Bomb without Ryan or Jeff, mostly weight issues and the though of dead flash into my head and how terrible it would be.
I'm very sad, the Chrono Trigger videos where my favorite on the series.

This is true. Ryan and I were walking around the floor of PAX East checking out game, and he snuck me into the SuperGiant booth and we played Transistor side by side. I loved that guy, such a huge loss.
Oh! Collusion!
This picture of him and Johnny V made tears burst out.
I have the hardest time with this photo...

Feels like I just got punched straight through the heart. god damn... Heart goes out to his family and the GB guys. Cannot begin to imagine what they're going through.
I realize it may not be the time to ask but I have so many questions. Why is this happening??? HOW??
God damn... Can't believe this :'[

It's not public information at this point.
Harmonix's stream is making me smile. Still saddened, but Ryan gave us a lifetime of memories.
Here's the link again, so that it won't get lost in the thread:

Man, I'm heartbroken. I've never met this man in my life but I felt so connected to him as a person. He's a major part of how I pulled through some bad times in my life with his banter with Jeff and the rest of the giantbomb crew. Reading this thread and the reddit post and seeing the tweets of his wife was gut wrenching. Thanks for all you have done Ryan Davis. My condolences go out to all of his family, wife and his friends. What an awesome person.

Has the cause of death been announced? sorry if that's too blunt. Couldn't figure a way to phrase it otherwise.
I dunno, I'm conflicted about her tweets. Multiple jokes about his death, complaining that a plane crash that killed multiple people isn't important compared to Ryan, smiley faces, tweeting pictures of nutrition shakes and her glittery nails. It's all a bit surreal.
R.I.P. Ryan, you were my favourite of the bombers, I will miss your energy.

RIP Ryan and condolences to all his family and friends, including the Giant Bomb crew. I can't imagine the pain they all must be feeling right now.

I feel so bad for Jeff. Pretty sure Ryan was his best friend
I was just thinking the same, Jeff & Ryan, the Bert & Ernie of games journalism.
