I really have not watched all the stuff they have done, some of the bits in JA are a bit too raunchy for me, but still though these guys really knew how to be great entertainers. There are a lot of things that could be learned from Dunn's Death, but still wish it didnt happen at all. I remember in one of the first CKYs that Bam was talking about how Dunn flipped a car with Bam, and his Brother Jess in the car... he got pissed because he almost killed Jess. At some point you would think he would of learned his lesson, its too bad he still drove crazy, and did so while drunk. Its also heart wrenching how Bam has a preminition that Dunn was in the accident. We are Spirit beings and them being very close friends, its sad to see it happen, and how tough this is for anyone, let alone Ryan's best friend (Bam).
As A Christian I take offense to the comments above about Westboro Bapsist being lumped in with all Christians.. I sat Monday morning with knots in my stomach at the pain the familes of both familes are going thru, and at the loss of two young men.
It does not take a bible schlor to realize that Westboro is way off base on how they "preach".. So please dont take what they say as a liberty to bash Christianity. I know of groups that pray and pray for ppl that are in those types of situations. They help familes that are hurting, no matter what beliefs the ppl who have passed away had. No man knows what truly was in Dunn's heart at the time of his passing... God does not wish that any person perishes without knowing the truth. Westboro does not know if Dunn is resting in Heaven, or not. For them to Assume is just down right wrong. Westboro staff and members will have to answer to God for the way they spin scripture and spew hate...
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
"2 Peter 3:9"
Isaiah 30:18
Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

Ezekiel 33:11
Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that they turn from their ways and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! Why will you die, O house of Israel?'
1 Timothy 2:4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
Matthew 18:12
How think you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray?
