Wanted to bump this for those who missed it:
Ryan Davis commemorative t-shirt. All proceeds to his family. The new shirt is at http://teespring.com/ryan_davis

It's going to hit me when he doesn't open the show with "Tuuuuuuesday".
This is really where it hits hardest.
Tuesdays will never be the same.
That's really nice.

He didn't even get to experience the new generation.
I'm sure he was really excited for it.

So the pink lettered one isn't the one happening?
This one seems too much of a downer to the spirit of Ryan.
I'll likely order regardless if it's all going to the family.
"Hey everyone, it's tuesday.."
That's what keeps hitting me. I bet he was so excited about next gen.
So sad.
Thought about this yesterday. Then got frustrated at myself for thinking about it. Even the little things though. Holy crap. Just crushing.

Living in Arizona, we've been dealing with the Yarnell fire the past week, and now wake up Monday morning and this happens......
Needless to say, this is has been my jam recently:

China don't care!
But we do.
But we do.
When it comes to Ryan Davis even China cares.
Turn that off and blast some Summerjams.
I can't help but feel that I'm remembering Ryan the best by drinking a whole heap of beers and watching old Whiskey Media videos from the bowels of the GB Twitch channel. So many laughs
I've been playing this old Bombcast playlist on YouTube on Autoplay and Shuffle all today and yesterday
Absolutely. It weighed heavily on me all day yesterday, and it was the first thing I thought of when I awoke this morning.does anybody feel a little bit weird today ?
it's a strange feeling to describe i didn't even know Ryan but yet i'm feeling a sense of loss an emptiness.
Its so weird to actually feel this way about a person you have never met but yet you were still close to in some way
Giant Bomb's format has given us so much access to these guys via audio and video that it's just a different kind of association than we've had with folks in similar roles in the past. Ryan's personally really came through in everything he did, and he was impossible to dislike.
I think we should all feel fortunate that we were able to get to "know" Ryan as much as we did. 10 years ago, before podcasts and streaming video were common, this just wouldn't have been possible.
Ordered. Thanks for doing this. I was hoping there would be some way to help.

I know exactly how you feel. I tried to put it into words: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mrplaid/blog/thanks-ryan/101950/

Followed my old habit of listening to Bombcast clips on the way in to work this morning, and it just hit me harder how much Giant Bomb has lost. I'll admit to having a lot more favorite Jeff and Vinny Bombcast moments than Ryan moments, but it's striking to hear how many of those great moments came out of playing off of Ryan in some way. And if nothing else, losing Ryan's laugh when someone else is being hilarious will be the worst.

DJ Dain has most of the SummerJam tracks in this youtube playlist.
Ryan Davis Presents: THE REALEST SUMMERJAMS by DJ Dain.
Not sure if there's others already posted.
How about this?
Done. Thank you.
Pretty sure it's his middle name.
Some people hate receiving charity, my Mum is abit like that.
I don't think I'd ever wear that shirt and I think owning that shirt would be too sad anyway. I'd much sooner just donate to a memorial fund or something.
Who came up with the shirt idea anyway? I don't see it referenced on anyone's twitter, though I'm not looking very hard. Something funny, or something with a goofy image of him would have been preferable.

Still can't believe this is real. The bombast recently lost Patrick because of his move and that was sad enough. Ryan passing is crushing me.
Felt like this was some kind of tasteless joke yesterday, but it hit me today we will never get hear or see him again. He gave us countless hours of enjoyment and laughs. Giantbomb and E3 wont be the same without him. My condolences to his family, friends and especially his new bride. I cant imagine the pain she is going through. Losing your spouse 5 days after getting married isnt even making it through the honeymoon. Hopefully he passed away in a great place with a huge smile on his face. RIP Ryan, you will be missed.

Not a fan of Giant Bomb but R.I.P, from the thing I saw and hear, he was a really nice guy.
Yeah. I would just like to help somehow.
I agree 100%.

Yeah, I imagine people ought to hold off on any donation things for a bit. We don't really know Anna's situation and she may prefer the money going to some other cause. Best wait until something "official" is announced before throwing money around.

You know what? I never followed Giant bomb or Ryan all that much but I did see a few E3 things with them and he was immediately my favourite one of the bunch. So jolly so quirky and damn was he funny and really quick too.
Even though I wasn't the no.1 fan on the planet or followed the team closely even I'm very saddened by all of this. The more stuff I see about him here and online the more I regret not watching more of his stuff before.

I actually agree, and think I'll cancel my order until we hear more on this. I'd rather help the way they'd like us to.

Was hoping yesterday was a bad dream. Still can't believe he's gone.

My apologies for cross posting this here, I meant to post here but did so on the memorial thread by mistake. :
In the last few months I went from thinking Ryan was the worst bomb crew member along with brad (still <3 brad tho), only to realize he was the life at GB. He became my favorite, alongside Patrick, and it tore my fucking heart out when I read the news yesterday. I was with my GF all day yesterday, so that helped me keep my mind off, but today I am alone and it is hitting hard as fuck.
This guy was hilarious and he somehow could bring out of you, all of these amazing emotions. Such a tragic loss and from the bottom of my heart I wish his family, friends and wife the best.
I started Playing GW2 a few days ago and decided to start over with a Ryan Guardian character.

I know it sounds stupid but when I woke up I really hoped to check gaf and find out it was all some sort of misunderstanding or even an elaborate (albeit cruel) prank. Not in an insensitive way, its just that my brain refuses to understand any logic in this tragedy. It just feels so surreal, so unnatural, so wrong...
anyone else feel like this too?
anyone else feel like this too?
Just opened Ryans spotify profile:
Genius till the end, miss you Ryan
Can I get a link to this?
