Ryan Knight Remembered By His 'Real World' And 'Challenge' Co-Stars

'We are family and every loss hurts like a ton of bricks,' wrote Ayiiia Elizarraràs.

A number of "The Real World" cast members took a moment out of their Thanksgiving celebrations on Thursday night (November 27) to pay tribute to Ryan Knight, star of "The Real World: New Orleans" and "The Challenge," who unexpectedly died at the age of 29.

One of his close friends on "The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons," Zach Nichols, said a tearful goodbye to his bunkmate and good pal.

Knight's on-again, off-again girlfriend, Jemmye Carroll, also mourned his loss on Twitter.

Another fellow "Challenge" cast member Camila Nakagawa, bid goodbye to her friend, as well as another recent loss in the family, Diem Brown, posting a picture of the two late challengers on the beach enjoying good times.

Many other friends and former castmates also bid goodbye to their friend.
