I don't know what to do still, it's been a little over a day now since he has been pronounced, and I still have the same feeling I had as they walked out the hospital and told us the news, I have lost my best friend once before, and yet again my next best is takin right before my eyes. When Goober walked up tonight and said how it took him 30 minutes to write his post here, I can agree and say I know the feeling, I can talk all day about how great of a friend Matt was to me, from the first time we met, to the last day. He was one of the most genuine and civil guys I know, a bird could shit all over his head and he would reply "Well besides that...how are you? how's your truck?" It hurts knowing that one of the people who used to care so much about your day and even if it was the shittiest one ever, you could always rely on him asking about it, now you will be talking to yourself. It's hard going to the place where you all hang out, day in and day out, and it feels like your on Punk'd, but then there's no Ashton, Matt doesn't just pop out and say "got ya". This is the second time i've had to write about something like this, something about a person who would in the pouring rain,sleet,snow whatever would be there in a instant to help. Someone who has once asked me "My friend is in trouble can you pick him up the cops are trying to give him a DUI if he doesn't get a driver". Someone who would never forget your birthday even if he had the worst week ever, would want to have a drink with you. The someone that I have shared rooms with at car shows, stayed up countless hours grinding and welding on my truck, blood, sweat, and tears into one of the strongest friendships ever. The someone who would be with me on Sunday at warped tour, moshing with us, kickin asses and takin names, and he won't be there to help. The person who i've broke up fights with, cried with when there was girlfriend problems, sat up for 3 days straight during the hurricanes. All of this runs through my head, so much that I can't think about much else, I have a very big empty place in me, and I know he if up in heaven right now, grinning down on us as he welds his truck back together. I will never forget the last thing he said 30 minutes before he passed, "We are all meeting up tonight whether you like it or not, you need to be there" Unfortunately he didn't make it there and i'm greatly saddend by this. He will be missed and his memory will live on...forever.
I love you bro, you were one of the best parts of my day. Keep your head high, and paint a brighter sky for all of us, so we know exactly how precious life is...
Matthew John Klausing - R.I.P...LOVE YOU.
