Ryan Davis of Giantbomb has passed away.

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.

Don't know how many of you listen to the bombcast, visit giantbomb.com, or remember him from his gamespot days, but he passed away last Wednesday.

This was during his weeklong vacation after getting married last week.

I stumbled onto this podcast four years ago and have listened to it every week, listening to them talk and joke about about life and video games always made my workday so much better. Going to miss the energy he brings into the podcast and the site.

"Hey everybody, it's Tuesday!"

My guess is the wife killed him.

He was married, recently. All the articles I've been able to find about his death are offering condolences to friends and family. No explicit mention of his new wife, which, you think, would be the first to be offered condolences.

Wow, I listen to him every week, really sad he’s gone.
