Ryan Dunn Tribute - Close Yet Far

My video tribute to the life and times of Ryan Dunn, star of MTV's 'Jackass' among many other projects, who died in a tragic car accident on the morning of Monday, June 20th 2011.

Just my two pennies worth:

I never had the chance to meet the man personally, so I'll never have the opportunity to thank him for all the hours of entertainment he's provided me with over the years. I grew up watching Dunn & the entire 'Jackass' cast, and while many critics would have you think otherwise, I always felt that there was a distinct message behind the on-screen chaos that ensued. Their carelessness inspired a generation to be free, have fun, and laugh; quite a valuable lesson to be placed amidst footage of shots to the groin and public humiliation! It's a message that has long since stuck with me however, and one which will live on way after Jackass is over thanks to the spirit of people like Ryan Dunn.

So thanks for the laughs Ryan and rest in peace.
