As word spread all across the world, it finally sinks in that one of the beloved stars in ‘Jackass’ has passed away. Ryan Dunn assisted in the rising fame of MTV’s Jackass amongst many others that have all become household names. Dunn died in a fatal car accident late Sunday night in West Goshen, Pennsylvania.

The people that knew him best poured out their heart onto twitter, facebook, and even official statements, paying tribute to the fallen star.

In a statement posted on the website of Dickhouse Entertainment (the producers of the wildly popular “Jackass” series and shows like “Rob & Big” and “Wildboyz”), Dunn was remembered by Johnny Knoxville, director Jeff Tremaine and “the entire ‘Jackass’ family” as a “brother,” as they shared in the same pain.

“I don’t really know what to say right now everybody, because the sadness is overwhelming, but today we lost one of our own. Our brother Ryan Dunn has passed. He died in a car wreck in West Goshen, Pennsylvania this morning at 3 a.m. Goddamn, that’s tough to write,” the statement read. “Our hearts go out to his family and his beloved Angie. Ryan will be missed and remembered by us all. Thanks for the kind words of support everybody.”

Even the president of MTV Networks Music/Film Group, Van Toffler also reflected on the loss of Dunn:

“We are devastated by the tragic loss of Ryan Dunn — a beloved member of the MTV family for more than a decade,” Toffler said in a statement. “He made us all laugh and had the tireless enthusiastic approach to life of your favorite middle school friend. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Ryan’s family and friends. The Jackass brotherhood will never be the same.”
