On June 20, Ryan Dunn and Zachary Hartwell, both involved in the famous “Jackass” movie series, died when Dunn’s Porsche 911 swerved off the road and hit a tree in West Goshen Township, Pennsylvania. Preliminary investigations suggested the car was traveling between 132-140 mph in a 55 mph zone. A toxicology report shows Dunn has a blood alcohol content level of .196%, more than twice the state’s legal limit of .08%.
For those of you that haven’t heard of Ryan, he was a daredevil best known for being a member of the Jackass crew and a cast member on Viva La Bam. He was born in Ohio and grew up in New York before moving to Pennsylvania in his early teens. I enjoyed his antics in the Jackass series and Homewrecker.
Friends Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera were both in attendance at a private funeral West Chester, Pennsylvania. In lieu of flowers, Dunn’s family requested that friends and fans make a contribution to Garth Brook’s Teammate for Kids nonprofits, which pairs professional athletes and celebrities with charities benefiting children.
Dunn met Bam Margera on his first day of high school according to biography posted on Dunn’s website. Dunn, Margera, Chris Raab, and Brandon DiCamillo started making videos that featured them skateboarding and performing stunts. In 1999, Dunn was working two jobs as a welder and in a gas station when Knoxville, a friend of Margera’s, asked the crew to allow their videos to be part of the Jackass series, which became a big hit on MTV.
