RIP Matt (LiFeStYlE 4 LiFe)

the last post from me was from Me brooke, and nikki but i just want to say to no one really but just to my matt... baby i love you and i will see you again some day.... no one really knows all the shit that we went through except me and you and i know you loved me and i know you knew that i loved you and will always love you..so baby or as you were known to me "my matt" i guess i just want to say that i love you, i never stopped loving you and never will stop loving you and from the last couple weeks you know this is true muah and till we meet again in my dreams

I never knew Matt, which from the way his friends and loved ones speak of him seems in itself a loss. My condolences to his family, his friends and his loved ones. Sometimes in life the worst things happen to the best people. We can only hope that there is some greater meaning to the tragedy and that there is a place far better off where he now rests. I have followed this thread for several days and continue to be amazed at the out pouring of compassion and comradere shown by the people in the scene. It is amazing how we can all take the smallest things for granted and how not until it's too late that we realize it's importance to us. The tremendous support shown to his family and friends serves as a reminder to us all that we are in the best community in which to be involved. And that a loss of one, is a loss in a much larger family and is felt throughout the land. My sincere condolences to everyone, especially to his family, friends and loved ones. May he rest in peace with the knowledge that it is not who he left behind but rather what he left behind. And what he left behind seems to be a legacy in the making and a community of friends and family that will always remember him. R.I.P.

^^ amen ^^

RIP bro

imnot looking forward to tonight or sat.. i htink its going to be the hardest thing i have ever done... i know ill have all my freinds to lean on if i need them and they wil have me in the sme respect.... i wnt to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for all the kind words and tring to help out in anyway you can..

Sorry for being the last person that knew Matt to post on here. I found out the other night but haven't had a chance to get on the web site. Internet doesn

I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for coming out to froggers the other night and to all who came up to wing house and to the candle light ceremony. It was the greatest feeling in the world when we all met up in the parking lot and rode up to his site last night. It was like one big family taking a cruise. Thats what this sport is about and thats what our club is about. Matt always made everyone feel like you were part of our family. Whatever he had to do to make you feel welcome, he would do it. As we all pulled up to the cermony last night, all i could see was matt and his truck sittin right where we all were. As we all lit our candles, rain from the sky started to come down. I thought to my self, maybe these are matts tears. But then i realized that matt isnt up stairs crying. He has that beautiful smile on his face because he now realizes how many hundreds and hundreds of lifes that he has touched. I know that matt had a very large impact on my life. He showed me right from wrong and some how i still managed to screw things up once in while. Standing there last night with the candle in my hand with everyone else, friends, family and club memebers, was one of the hardest things i have ever had to do. I think that last night was just the beginning to the healing process that we all will have to go through. I know that matt will be at every car show, every drag threw, every time we play darts, drink a beer, go to a concert and just hang out. He will be looking over us from heaven smiling down and saying how much he loved each and every one of us. I'am the only child, so growing up i never had a brother or sister to pick on or get into fights with or argue with. When i met matt eight years ago, he took the role of being my big brother. I will always save a beer and a parking spot for you where ever i go. Im so happy that i was able to tell him that i loved him one last time before he past. Matt- I love you and i will see heaven brother.

VERY SORRY TO HEAR............... RIP MATT

Keep watch over us, and keep draggin' we are all thinking of you.

Sorry if this posts again, just didn't look like it posted the first time. Matt I just want to say that you are an awesome guy, I remember the night at Steak n Shake you took my phone from me at like 3 in the morning and called my best friend you didnt even know and tried to get her off, on the phone.
