Ryan Dunn, part of the Jackass crew, passed away on June 20, 2011 in a car accident in Pennsylvania in the early hours of the morning. A photo posted to his Tumblr account only a few short hours before his death showed him drinking and smoking.

His Porsche was totally engulfed in flames, with this being the wreck of it:

While all the evidence points to alcohol being the probably cause of the accident, no one deserves to go out like that and the world has lost an awesome dude. He basically lived the dream, rolling around with the Jackass crew, drinking, pranking and having the time of his life. And I think that’s what we all really want in our lives. Beyond the material, we just want to have an awesome time with our buddies, and Ryans career allowed that.

If there is one thing I dream of, it is not to have a better car, or a massive house, or a Patek Philippe watch. My dream is just to be able to hang out with the people I love, doing the things we love. If you can say that you do that for a good part of your life, then to me, you have achieved success. What is the point of having everything in life, but then being stuck at the office for so long that you don’t get to see friends and family?

Ryan just seemed to do the things he loved. We’ll all remember him for sticking a toy car up his ass, and then going for an x-ray! There is also this video that Matt sent me the link to, this is Ryan downing a bottle of tequila:

That’s a 34 years well lived, and I’d rather have a banging 34 years than a boring 80 years.

We’ll have to hit up the video store for a Jackass marathon in remembrance of Ryan.
