I wrote a little bit about Ryan last night. http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/heavyduty32/blog/ryan-davis-titan-and-teddy-bear/101956/

I posted something. It was meant to be serious but a typo in the title made everyone laugh instead. I'm ok with that. http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion-30/a-tribute-to-ryan-david-1444021/

I wrote some simple thoughts about Ryan in hopes that they would honor his memory. http://www.gamessportsandmore.com/r-i-p-ryan-davis/

a small nod to the man to add to the pile: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/kylekrane/blog/

Here's the poster I designed of Ryan (as well as the other bombers) you can see them in the mailbag feature from August 27th, 2010 - Giant Bomb Mailbag: Propaganda Edition

I wrote (poorly) about Ryan last night after work. I'm an RN and I used to be an EMT so I've dealt with death a lot, but for all the reasons that duders everywhere have already said here and elsewhere online, Ryan's passing hit me really hard. Gonna miss hearing that voice and seeing that grin every week.

I wish I knew how to embed gifs on the current site, I used to be able to use the html voodoo.

But I think the best Ryan thing I made was from the Big Live Live Show Live Afterparty. I spent way too long making a gif of Ryan blowing a heart at you, the viewer. You have to click to see it cause I don't know how to make embed properly anymore. I'm glad I named it Ryan Loves you.

I also wrote a blog in the massive swarm of Ryan Love.

I've created a portrait that I will be putting on a custom sign located in my town here:

With a nice view out towards the sea :)

Just have to wait until tomorrow now when the sign is finished built.








(No idea how to fix this formatting... it looks alright once I'm in "edit mode" :/ ).

I wrote about my experience when I found out about Ryan, and where my head is now.

Ryan Davis meant a lot to me and the news is still shocking and devastating. I have been an avid fan of Giant Bomb since 2008. I wrote an article about Ryan for a site today.

Ryan Davis: Never Missed A Bombcast

You will always be loved and never forgotten, Ryan. I miss you, duder.

I wrote something on Ryan and Giant bomb as a whole, and I also smoked one of my favorite cigars in his honor.

My wife wrote a brief bit on Ryan on her fashion blog yesterday.

http://www.meganmaedaily.com/2013/07/just-joke.html

Just my sentiments on how lucky we are to have so much great content of Ryan to remember him by. http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/reisz/blog/thank-you-ryan/101841/

I wrote a piece about Ryan on my site, and we will talk about him tonight on our podcast, which pretty much exists solely because of the Bombcast. Here is the link http://www.extradamage.com/thanks-to-ryan-davis/

Just my short thoughts on Ryan. http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/hampe/blog/today-is-a-day-of-mourning/101857/

Thanks ZombiePie for summing these up.

Wrote something earlier thats probably too long http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/shorthair/blog/hey-everyone-it-s-tuesday/101982/

Kind of just verbal diarrhea

Never written much on the site before but I wrote this: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/mattf2312/blog/goodbye-ryan-you-were-a-true-friend/102015/

I'm not the best writer but I wrote this up because I just needed to say thank you to Ryan

This is my contribution. He will be missed :(

Like everyone else, I too wrote a blog. http://www.giantbomb.com/ryan-davis/3040-93335/forums/fragments-of-time-remembering-ryan-1444486

@zombiepie said:

Right, but I'm not talking about community-based Ryan stuff. I'm talking about strictly RYAN stuff. While stuff from the community about/for Ryan is cool, I feel like it's something that feeds the pretention of the community as well. "OOOH, I WROTE SOMETHING SAD ABOUT RYAN RIGHT HERE!" Ya know, it just seems like something that would piss him off.

I'm thinking more along the lines of crazy Photoshopped images, dumb videos with him in them, stuff like that. A memorial for Ryan should be something joyous, not overwrought with sadness and crying. He'd bitchslap every one of us if that's what it turned out to be, and you know it.

Essentially, I think we just need Giant Bomb Animated of Ryan doing his "uh uh uh uh uh" skit, that crazy weird creepy video that one guy made a while back about "Fuck Ryan Davis", and maybe a video montage of his dumbest moments ever...like "Rider, meet horse..."

Also, as it stands, I know someone linked to my blog post about Ryan's passing for the Community Spotlight. I'd like it to be omitted please. While it is something that I made public, it's because I wanted the public to understand why I was saddened by his passing. That doesn't mean I want it showcased.

Here's a few words I wrote upon first hearing the news; a little about what he meant to me: http://internalrobots.com/news/ryan-davis/

It's so fantastic to hear everyone's thoughts right now. This isn't something anyone should be alone in facing. We're all in this together as a community.

I wrote up my thoughts last night after that long day: http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/truthtellah/blog/ryan-davis-and-the-power-of-passion/101942/

Wrote what I could as best I could.
Haven't been on the forums as much as I should, but always faithful to the Bombcast.

http://sixtysthoughts.tumblr.com/post/55048068789/r-i-p-rtd

I wrote a thing on my Tumblr blog about what he meant to the world and to me personally. If you'd rather it be in a Giant Bomb blog, let me know.

Here is my tribute to the community , the crew and of course Ryan.

I wrote this up when I heard, its just me venting, probably lots of grammar and spelling errors in it lol... just means it authentic!

Didn't post it as a blog, probably nothing special as there are tons of people who had more interactions and were more involved, but I'll link it here for anyone interested:

http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion-30/this-is-the-only-serious-post-i-will-ever-make-1444258/

I guess @mento already did the work for me. You guys are all awesome.

One of the legion who did so, I wrote a mini tribute. Can't seem to get it to attach to forums properly though

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/slag/blog/be-like-ryan-davis/101949/

Apologies to @jakob187 and anyone else in that list I posted who didn't necessarily want to join this huge sea of obituaries in the Community Spotlight next week. It should've occurred to me how personal those blogs were to some of you.

Working on one at the moment, just trying to collect all my thoughts that I could muster about him. Great write-ups duders. ;_;

We are going to have to agree to disagree at this point. The number of comments and notifications have far exceeded my expectations and providing a Spotlight on community created content is what this feature is for. User created art and videos are something I intend to showcase as well, but if you see the opportunity to do something different, have at it my good friend. There's no right or wrong answer for something like this.

I wrote a few words. Not much.

I wrote a little bit yesterday, I'm not much of a writer.

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/landmine/blog/a-wonderful-person/101908/

I also wrote a post in reference to Richard Davis' (Ryan's Dad) charity request here: http://www.giantbomb.com/ryan-davis/3040-93335/forums/richard-davis-charity-request-1444542/

This is what I could muster putting together. Really hard writing about all that's transpired over the past day or so.

http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/alien715/blog/remembering-ryan-as-a-secluded-fan/101993/

I made a blog about Ryan also. Thanks if you read it.

Here is my thoughts I posted just a while ago on how Ryan's passing is leading me to change how I view things.
