Shame, although somewhat ironic considering the stunts they did.
May he rest in piece.

Yeah, another proof that driving a car is way more dangerous than stapling your balls to a wooden board and riding tricycles down steep hills.
And they can't identify the passenger? Was the crash that bad? Damn, that's pretty awful to think about
It's suspected but not confirmed.
I'd like to believe that wasn't the case, but that'd just be silly of me.
I chuckled, but come on! That's just messed up.
Unfortunately, this.
He was my favourite of the bunch too, but drink driving is fucking lame. He killed his passenger, too.
The plot thickens. DUNN DUNN DUNNNNNNNNNN.
Agreed; apparently he was off his tits at the time. Thankfully there were no innocents hurt, apart from that poor girl with him, though she did let him drive at 100mph drunk. Thankfully no expected dad game developers were killed this time round by a selfish moron's actions.
We still have Zack Galifianakis!
Him and the rest of the jackass crew are a huge part of my growing up, as odd as that may seem.
They're all really laid back and totally in love with their fans.
He almost was, he posted suicide videos up with a gun in his mouth but he got help because the whole crew talked him into rehab and now he's clean, which if you think about it is really scary because he still does really crazy shit.
Damn you Dunn, why'd you fuck up when you had a cool beard/
That's the wreckage just hours after the crash. You can make you own conclusions about how fast they were going.
Didn't know there was pics... harsh.
He drank and drove a high powered sports car, at ~130MPH, with a passenger. Killed both himself and said passenger. For no reason at all.
What does it matter if people are taking junk from a place where that asshat exploded? Wouldn't be any junk there if Dunn hadn't been so disgustingly moronic - 3 beers and 3 shots, and driving at that speed.
I'm shocked that people are so broken up about this. And it made Fox news? Get a grip.
This is a fantastic idea. TO EBAY!
No reason not to be broken up about it.
But, your perspective is good.
Cause it could have been avoided very easily.
A local news station covering a local news story? shocking
And..
EDIT: Ok. I'm passionate about anti-drink driving. I've had personal experiences with the effects of it. It's unforgiveable. But I think I've come across a bit harsh, especially in a RIP thread. That makes me lame. Apologies for any offence, in my bad mood.
It's a shame that anyone died, here.
We are all human and have laps in judgment. Hopefully more people will walk away from this realizing the conscienceless of drinking and driving. Especially Bam and the other 'Jackass' crew. I will not be surprised if Bam becomes an advocate of don't drink and drive.
The value of a life has been lost in today's society.
I blame video games. Damn them!
But yeah, everyone can agree on that it's a shame that they died but even better that they didn't collide with another vehicle or something like that.
Fuck him. He had a passenger in the car with him and they're dead. Would have been better to die filming a stupid stunt than take someone else with him.
I guess Im still trying to decided if someone should pay for this choice with their life.
Hey, if you where a clown in life, people don't stop laughing just because you stop breathing.
If you want respect after death you probably need to do something with your life that demands it.
Valid point.
edit:on the aspect of the 'jackass' jokes
Edit: Hey you guys can join the westboro baptist church at his funeral

Would you like to read this sentence back to yourself?
I don't believe anyone in this forum has a single right to pass judgement, humans make mistakes and you're just as easily viable to make the same.
When it's someone's purpose to harm another, then this would be in a different light.. But that just wasn't the case here.
It was foolery and a mistake that he unfortunately paid for with his life, but nobody deserves that type of judgement.
Started to doubt myself on this view..
I'm not going to shit on people who are genuinely broken up by his death, but seriously I'm not putting the guy on a pedestal like his life or death meant something profound.
Not saying these guys are hero's but they did make the world a better place in some respects, even if it was just laughing at a dude get punched in the balls by a midget, cuz lord knows, I can't recall ever being punched in the balls by a midget.
I'd be worried if society stopped passing judgement on chuckle heads.
If he had survived and the passenger died he would be charged with manslaughter.
Let that sink in a bit.
The only reason he's not being charged is because he murdered himself also...
It wasn't an "oh opps don't do that next time ok" accident. This wasn't a "oh man his breaks failed" or "some crazy nut was taking off their shirt while the passenger steered" type of accident. His direct actions fuckin murdered another person. So just because he's dumb enough to sit behind a jet engine he's some kind of hero? Fuck that.
Serriously you think this guy deserves the same respect that Brian Wood does?
Fuck that... people have worth and how you live your life dictates how your remembered. You can't be a dirt bag your entire life, murder someone as you commit suicide and expect have a statue erected in your honor...
I've been properly fucked up many times and never gotten behind the wheel. No matter how plowed I've been it's never been something I've considered.
Drinking and doing 130mph down the road is about as smart as playing with loaded hand guns... He knew the risks and thought he could beat them. Those that weren't really touched by him as a person are probably more broken up about their own mortality being wagged in their face like a fist full of shit, then they are about a "beautiful person" committing suicide.
Unfortunately he passed the judgement on himself, I'm just observing the results.
Are you implying that the many deaths caused by silly incidents are deserved?
I've lost 4 family members due to drinking and driving, drug abuse and murder, for silly personal mistakes that all had to due with substance abuse and the people they were with.
I'll never mutter under my breath, saying that they deserved it, I could just as easily have made the same mistakes.. That does not make them any less of a human than myself.
This does not make anyone a hero, it does not make anyone a failure, it's just unfortunate and we'll only learn from their mistakes and move on.
Also,
I'm not trying to knock you or family members passed, but just wanted to say.
It'd be really really hard for me to do 130mph while drunk off my ass. I don't even know if I could get drunk enough to do that, I'd probably throw up or pass out long before that thought even occurred to me.
Like, forgetting your keys in the car. That's easy to do. Could happen to anyone.
Deciding to do something like what Ryan Dunn did...that's uh...not so understandable. That takes a special kind of dedication to fuckuppery.
You will be missed.
