Raise your glass in memory of a fallen duder.

To Ryan......

Thanks for being awesome duder. Tuesdays aren't the same without you. GLHB

Hey buddy. Miss ya. Wish I'd gotten to share a beer with you. Gonna have a few for you.

Damn, that's not good whiskey.

We all miss you so much Ryan.

Everyone who was affected by his loss is in my thoughts. This turned out to be a much harder day than I thought it would be, especially when I loaded up the site and saw the Hotline Miami QL.

I poured a glass of scotch and watched the Harmonix stream, and right now I'm thinking about starting up the week after episode of the bombcast, even though I never thought I'd listen to that episode more than once.

This is what I wrote last year, and I guess it's worth writing again:

Fuck Ryan Davis, for leaving us behind and going much too early. Love Ryan Davis.

Thank you Ryan.

@sgtsphynx: Well said duder.

I do not yet have a drink in hand, but when I do it will be to Ryan. RIP Duder.

To Ryan!

Not quite a bourbon, but it felt appropriate....Cheers Ryan

Impossible to put into words, so I'll just leave it at this:

@eliot_maas: What an awful sight. Perfect.

Ryan's one ice cube recipe got me to like bourbon outside of just mixed drinks. Thanks Ryan.

A wonderful man and greatly missed.

Fuck, man.

Just... fuck, y'know?

I dunno, fuck.

Love Ryan Davis <>.

It's hard to believe its been a year already...

Still remember feeling my heart drop out when I read the news on twitter last year. We really miss you wherever you are duder.

@csl316: Wow! Thanks so much for searching for that! I really appreciate it.

I still remember the exact moment I found. I was on Gamespot watching that old Ron Graphite video Ryan did, laughing my ass off. My eyes then strayed to the left and I saw that little dreaded combination of a name, and a date, and that name was Ryan Davis. I still remember that weird feeling in my chest, near the heart area, when I read it. It was that warm, yet cold, time stoping, yet shocking little jump you get when the know you've just witnessed something terrifying in front of you.

I was pretty depressed for the next 3 hours. But eventually I sat down in front of my monitor and did what Ryan would love. I didn't pour any liquor out, he would think that is a waste, I'm sure. I didn't watch a bunch of old Ryan videos, that would hurt too much. I put on Hotline Miami, and straight murdered fools for 5 hours straight, with just the knife and nothing else. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, just jabbing. It was really oddly satisfying. As it was to watch you in front of the camera, Ryan. Thanks for all the laughs, and for making everyone feel like they had closet, yet furthest away, best friend.

You did the best thing. That's how to truly memorialize a man.
