    I would love this to be a joke, even though it'd be one of the most untasteful ones I've seen...jesus christ, this feels so unreal, true or not.

    Oh no, this is terrible! A huge loss for GB, and the gaming community in general. I'm so sorry for you guys and especially his new wife. As a fellow 1979'er, I'm in shock that somebody so young could be lost to us so early. My best wishes are with you guys and his family. R.I.P. Ryan, you will be missed.

    Wow. I thought this had to be a joke, but there's no way you guys would joke about it, as the reaction swells.

    I'm sorry for your loss, and the loss to his family. I mean, he was JUST married... that's so tragic.

    So sad to read about this, I feel so shocked and upset. Ryan was a special man who made a big contribution to the website and whose work provided me with hours of brilliant entertainment.

    My deepest condolences to all his family and friends. What terrible news.

    Rest in peace Ryan. You are greatly missed.

    I shared my first name with him and been listening to the Bombcast for the last year and I will miss him dearly. I hope his family knows that he was loved all across the internet. Rest in Peace Ryan Davis.

    Wow, just wow... I am so completely and utterly shocked at this point. I feel like a member of my family has passed, as I've gotten to know him through the various episodes of the Bombcast and through following this site. My deepest, deepest condolences to Ryan's family and friends and to the Giant Bomb crew. We have all certainly lost a great human being. He will most definitely be sorely missed. R.I.P. and godspeed Ryan.

    Fuck.

    Longtime listener who was lucky enough to meet Ryan and Vinny at a PR event for a game I was working on a few years ago. Ended up sharing a couple of beers with them and chatting for around an hour as things wound down, and was struck by how genuine they both were.

    So sorry for everyone close to Ryan, especially his new wife, his family and Jeff.

    I obviously didn't know Ryan but this seems like a horrible nightmare right now that I can't wake up from. I can't even begin to imagine how the guys at Giant Bomb are feeling right now. I don't even know what to say. I can't fathom listening to another Bombcast without hearing Ryan's voice say "It's Tuesday!" I seriously feel like I just lost a dear friend. RIP.

    Only the good die young. I can't believe I'm sitting here crying about an internet personality passing away. I wish Ryan could know how much we all genuinely loved him. My life 3000 miles away will never be the same. I'm sorry, GB. It's a sad day. I'll be celebrating everything Ryan ever did for us today. We were lucky to have him for even the short time we did. He was a gift.
