Even after four months, I’m still getting used to the idea that you’re no longer in this world. And I also feel compelled to write something. Ryan, what can I say. I was shocked when I read the news of your passing. I was surprised that it hit me the way it did, that the loss of someone I didn’t know in person could actually hurt. On the other hand, maybe it’s not so odd. After having watched CKY/Viva La Bam/Jackass for all these years, You guys are no longer complete strangers. I can’t say I grew up with you though… I’m 32, so all of this was not yet airing when I was in my teens. I only discovered this incredible bunch some 8 years ago. I noticed the shows/movies are not to everyone’s liking, people love it (and think you guys are brave) or people hate it (and think you guys are idiots).  (wink)   I certainly love it and it doesn’t matter how often I watch these DVD’s, you always have the ability to make me laugh and make me feel better when needed. Ryan, your antics, silly stunts and humor will always make me smile. They are fond memories which will always be there. 

I also want to express my deepest sympathy to Ryan’s Angie, family and friends. I lost my dad in a car accident four years ago. One of the worst things is the suddenness of it all… the fact that there’s no chance to say goodbye. That in a matter of seconds your world gets turned upside down and that nothing will ever be the same again. And then there’s the question ‘What if?’ that keeps on haunting you. But all the ‘what ifs’ in the world can’t turn the clock back. I know it’s a horrible feeling. It’s a cliché but it’s true that the passing of time makes it a bit easier. It certainly doesn’t feel like that in the beginning, it takes a lot of time and there will always be this empty spot that can never be filled. I do believe our loved ones want us to go on and find happiness again. It’s the least we can still do for them, right? 

Ryan was loved by many people and he’ll live on in the hearts of many people.

I’m sorry if this is getting way too long but I would like to end with some lyrics from Anouk. 

Who’s the one that makes you happy?

Who’s the one that always makes you laugh?

Who’s the reason you’re smiling?

And dragged you through these time so rough? 

 Ryan, you did, still do and always will. Thank you for all the laughs and the good times!

Love, Petra.

I was quite young when I saw Jackass for the first time but I was hooked. Then later on Viva La Bam, then Wildboyz,…

It was so amazing having those programs while growing up, they taught me a lot of rock ‘n roll and brought me lots of laughter. At the end Ryan Dunn looked so cool with his long beard! :p

When I heard the news I just couldn’t believe it, they’re all rockstars and rockstars should never die but sadly they always do.

Ryan Dunn, the world just ain’t the same without you. I still get tears in my eyes whenever I see you on tv or hear something about you.

You shall be forever missed.

God… maaaaaan! come back!! It’s so stupid unfair… I love you

Like everyone else, i remeber exactly where i was when i heard the news. getting on a ferry in New York Island with my family is where i was. i saw a friends status on facebook  that said RIP Dunn. life was never the same after that. the week before they had shown jackasss 3.5 on MTV and i had recorded it, but hadn’t got a chance to watch it yet. for the rest of my NY vacation i was in a sort of dis-beliving haze. i got home and looked up the details on my lap top and found the video of Bam at the site of the crash. thats when i broke down. i cried and cried and cried till my eyes were puffy and bright red. i couldn’t belive that my favorite, my random hero, was never going to crack another joke, or appear in another movie or TV show. I would never see his gleeming smile, hear his hilarious jokes, or laugh at the silly stunts he did ever again. it wasn’t fair.  I couldn’t bring myself to watch a jackass movie or show, viva la bam or bam’s unholy union, or anything of the sort. as i passed through my dvr, i could shut my eyes as i passed by 3.5, but i still didnt delete it. about two weeks after, i finally decided to watch. i found myself laughing through tears. i knew i had to move on. i still think of Ryan atleast once a day, some times if i really feel bad, i talk to him. i cry on occasion like i have been as i type this. i just wish it had never have to come to this. i know the memories he gave me and all of us will be with me forever. <3

I was first  introduced to Ryan and the Jackass boys whilst on a holiday in Thailand in 2002 and couldn’t stop laughin my ass off. We’ve lost an unbelievable performer and words can’t express the loss!

Long Live Ryan!!!!!

Okay, I am now sitting here trying to write into words how I can describe Ryan Dunn.  I have never met him but he changed my life for the better,  I admit that I have had depression all my life but when I saw Ryan for the first time when I was 15 I  fellt like so much was lifted from my shoulders and I would gladly give him my last breath if I knew that he could live again, that’s just how much I loved Ryan and I always will, sure, it sounds corny to some people but poo on them, Ryan meant eveything to me and made me smile and laugh again.  My mom has seen a drastic change in my depression over the years and I will FOREVER hold a very special place in my heart for My RANDOM HERO. My heart goes out to the jackass guys, Ryan’s family, everyone that knew Ryan, I wish that I could have been of the very lucky ones to call Ryan a friend but maybe one day I will get that chance.  I love you Ryan Matthew Dunn and thank you for the laugh and smiles all these years and you will NEVER EVER be forgotten I swear .

I’ve been watching Viva La Bam, Jackass, and all the other shows since I was a kid. But randomly the week of Ryan’s death I was following Bam on twitter like I was a stalker or something from his Lambo breaking down and making death threats to when Bam was in Arizona. On the night of Ryan’s death I went to bed at about 12. I randomly just woke up and opened my computer and looked at a photo I took a couple months ago while in Florida. It was a picture of the road sign “Dunn Ave”

Here is a link to it

For some reason I couldnt sleep so I stayed up all night and finally found out from my sister who came over who used to live in West Chester and actually met Bam and all his friends. I didnt believe her so I went upstairs got onto my computer saw the news and just started crying. Dunn was always the funniest and just so awesome. I remember I use to call myself the Random Hero as a kid just because I say things completely irrellivant to the conversation.

RIP Ryan “Random Hero” Dunn

On Comedy Central’s Charlie Sheen Roast, roaster Amy Schumer make an offensive joke to fellow roaster, Steve-O. Her joke was:

“I truly am — no joke — sorry for the loss of your friend Ryan Dunn. I know you must have been thinking it could’ve been me. And I know we were all thinking, why wasn’t it?”

Most people found it extremely rude and offensive, to Ryan Dunn. Her response to all the Dunn fans tweeting rude things on Twitter was:

“I don’t feel the need to apologize,” Schumer says. “I respect people’s opinion as long as they understand what the joke is. It wasn’t a Ryan Dunn joke. It was a Steve-O joke. It was a typical roast joke. It had the formula of any roast joke. That wasn’t even one of the jokes I had where I was thinking, ‘here it comes, I’m going to drop the hammer now.”

Well, I found it offensive because the look on Steve-O’s face when she said that. He looked sad, angry, and upset at the ”joke”. It made me cry. I personally did not like it, and I thought it was rude. Don’t joke about that kind of stuff, whether it was to him or not.

What do you think? Was it taken too far, too soon?

have already spent more than 3 months of the loss of an idol, hero, son, husband, friend and brother! a week of his death I have dreamed, if so, what I dreamed, he told me to stop mourn for him, that was fine, not to think otherwise. and she remembers with a smile on your face, not bad. from 20/06 not a day passes that does not think about it, I grew up with him because of it. ryan was a lovely person, was chewy thing that united them all! I could never learn like most people, but I loved him with all my heart! sometimes I start to think that if love me too, I would not know how it affects their environment. every time I see him I have a smile from ear to ear, and when I grab the video finishes an incredible nostalgia. since his death until this day I have dreamed about 4 or 5 times! I dream I think that would really hurt this no longer here in the same world as me, but also dream is that he wants to let him rest in peace, and always remember every moment of the day I think do not let him. difficult is for me to let go, and that she saw him on TV any more. I know I have to, but if anyone knows how please tell me … as you stop to think of one so kind, generous, lively, happy, ryan? as …? I do not know how, the only thing I know is that I have to remember with a smile on your face … as he wills it, let alone descanasr. obviously going to cost me but I have to. I can not believe a head that is not “know” I can fill with loneliness and pain in minutes … ryan thanks for the smiles you gave me so many years, I just hope to see you in a few years and to take a good beer, with a good cigar and listen to their stories! I know we will see and I’ll take you for the rest of my life in my heart … and in the Hereafter … I love you with love, samy

You can shed tears that he is gone

Or you can smile because he has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him

Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember him and only that he is gone

Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.

I know that I didn’t know but it still hurts that you are gone, wish I could bring you back.  Sleep tight, Lots of Love Claire, Scotland xxx
