Ryan Davis, 1979 - 2013
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 remember thinking a week or two ago how he should be taking himself....he looked so big in one of their videos. I thought he must be a candidate for a heart attack. I wonder if he did of that or a car accident.Last edited by ryne candy; 07-08-2013, 01:52 PM.Comment

I said "I completely understand the privacy issue involved in someone who is in the media, but I'm also surprised that this happened five days ago and we are just hearing about it. "
Perhaps he was far away on his honeymoon, who knows? I noticed his last tweet was on the 3rd, so he was obviously active if he was on his honeymoon.
I was surprised to see he was only 34, I always thought he was near my age (45)
