Ryan Davis passed away on July 3rd. He was 34.

Obviously we’re all stunned over here. Ryan was a good friend to all of us. It’s odd to remember that, for someone who could be so acerbic at times, and despite knowing him for almost a decade, I honestly don’t recall ever actually being mad at him. He had an unconventional type of kindness that expressed itself more strongly the longer one knew him, and despite his teasing nature, he always managed to make his close friends feel loved when his attention turned towards you.

Many of you know that Ryan was recently married. In the face of this awfulness, many of us will at least always remember him as we last saw him: outrageously, uproariously happy, looking forward to his next adventure with the biggest grin his face could hold.

The consolation we can feel from that is miniscule compared to the hole that Ryan’s absence will leave in our lives. That’s not a hole that is possible to fill; it’s just something that we’ll just have to get used to walking around with, and that will not happen for a long, long time.

I don't know if anybody on here follows Giant Bomb, but I have for the past 5 years. Really, really sad news. Huge personality.

After listening to his voice for easily hundreds of hours, this is rough news to take :(

I know who he was and have seen him in a few videos. Never followed Giantbomb, mind.

Absolutely shocked though. Never expected this to be the contents of the thread when I clicked it. Just 34. R.I.P.

He got married just a few days before... so tragic.

Just found out an hour ago. Speechless, I can't process this.

Giant Bomb will not be the same from now on. My thoughts are with his family and the rest of the Giant Bomb crew.

Ryan was always the driving force behind GB, many will be sad to see him go. Too young, RIP Ryan :(

EDIT: Just realised I have a lot of Bombcasts still to listen to, I wonder if I will ever be able to listen to them now :(

That's a lovely picture of Vinny & Ryan, where did you find it?

I always liked Vinny and Ryan most out of the main four.

Thank you for that, it's nice to see this is how he will be remembered.
