MTV's The Real World star, Ryan Knight, has died at the young age of 29. TMZ, who was the first one to report the tragedy had said that Knight was found dead in the morning of Thanksgiving by friends. He was said to have been out the night before partying hard.

Nany Carmen Gonzalez thanked her pal for all the laughter and good times they shared. Johnny Reilly conveyed sadness and shock and told his friend that they will play hockey together in heaven.

Two days before the tragedy, Knight tweeted, "Have the type of life, that when you die no one will dare say, 'he left us for a better place.'" While in the early hours of Thanksgiving day, he tweeted a cryptic message stating, "You used to mean a lot."
