The close knit world of video games media in the US - and due to the Internet based nature of most modern gaming hackery - is mourning the death of 34-year old Giant Bomb co-founder Ryan Davis. No cause of death has been publicised yet.
Davis, pictured, was married last week. The New Yorker who founded the Giant Bomb site in 2008 with colleague Jeff Gerstmann having walked out on Games. The site was acquired by CBS Interactive in March 2012.
An obituary over on the site states that:
"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."
RIP Ryan Davis: 1979 - 2013
