I don't know him, but the fact they they conspicuously left out the cause of death turned me into an internet stalker, particularly since they only announced it on the 8th, when the death actually occurred on the 3rd, just 4 days after his wedding.

For those who don't know him, he was part of Gamespot, but was fired and with a few others created Giant Bomb in 2008. The site was very successful - appeared in Time Magazines top 50 websites in 2011, and was acquired by CBS in 2012. You can view his many, many videogame video reviews online. While they will certainly be able to continue on without him, he really was the face of Giant Bomb on many ways.

Here's a video that might give you an idea of his style:

 
No one is providing a definite cause of death. Early on his father was tweeting that it was "natural causes" but these last few days he's been tweeting to people to get checked for sleep apnea if they suspect they may have problems with airway obstruction. Ryan did have sleep apnea, and did have a cpap machine he normally used to sleep. His wife tweeted today about dealing with an unprofessional person at a funeral home, so it looks like he hasn't yet been buried (which would be consistent with the delay due to the July 4th holiday, chances are the medical examiner didn't release the body until Monday at the earliest). Nothing posted in local newspapers or funeral homes yet.

His father has also been tweeting old pictures of Ryan: https://twitter.com/mauleace

His wife has been tweeting throughout this experience: https://twitter.com/EnemyNanner and both his wife and father have been retweeting a number of other people's condolences as well.
