Giant Bomb founder and Gamespot alum Ryan Davis has died. Giant Bomb put out a statement this morning, saying that Davis passed away last week. The site did not divulge the cause of death.

"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," Matthew Rorie wrote.

Davis founded Giant Bomb in 2008 with longtime compadre Jeff Gerstmann after they departed Gamespot. Our condolences go out to Davis' friends, family and colleagues at Giant Bomb.

Wow. I watch their shows often and this is a huge shock. I am pretty sure there will be no I love mondays this week or maybe for a while. I can only suspect heart attack.
Scary

The most likable guy on the Bomber crew. Very, very sad.

Sweet mercy.  I'm still hoping that this is some elaborate joke.  The guy just got married.  Just on his honeymoon. 

I just don't know what to say.  I was just thinking about checking for their weekly podcast and now this.  You just don't think someone so young could just die.

NOTICE TO STOP EATING MICROWAVE HAMBURGERS

I wonder if this is what will motivate me to loose weight.  I'm not obese but I am pretty portly (6'1", 245lbs) and he was two years younger than me.  Regardless I think I will no longer be eating those delicious Stoffer's Lasagnas.

Oh, and thanks for putting this into perspective for me, Leon.
