Ryan was one of the founders and main driving forces behind Giant Bomb, a video game news/podcast/wiki site. I haven't been on the site for long, but I've grown to appreciate the staff in the short time I've been there, including Ryan.

His death is being felt throughout the gaming community, with many editors at other sites giving pause to tell stories about him.

Sadly, Ryan passed just four days after his marriage.

In a palpable irony that I'm sure Ryan would have found amusing, one of his tweets from earlier on the day that he died was:

" I'm on day three, I've gotten collectively maybe 10-12 hours. It's not like I'm gonna die, but C'MON. VACATION."

Yeah, it's kind of crazy.

So sad. He seemed like a really sweet guy from all accounts.

I've herd that his brother in law found him and they are waiting on an autopsy to determine why he died.....but he was complaining of the 102 degree heat, lack of sleep, and weddings are super stressful. All that with his size and I wouldn't be suprised if it was a heart attack.

Rest i n peace.....and peace to his new wife and family. I know she especially needs that right now.
