Farewell to my friend

[sk8salomon]

I'm very sorry to say but we have lost a friend from our community. Although he wasn't a voice here on mud, I'm sure many of you know Matt or have seen his truck around. He unexpectedly passed away on Saturday night and will surely be missed by all. You might know Matt best by the little 100 that could. We beat that truck to death through many GSMTR's, Coppinger Cove visits, Royal Blue and many more. He was my partner in crime, my shotgun rider and the guy who would stay with you late at night broken down on the trail. There are so many memories that it is impossible to write them all down. We wish his family the best. Thank you to all for being a part of his life here on mud.

Tragic news. Sorry to hear this.

Thanks guys. This is the most difficult thing I’ve ever experienced. I don’t understand. I miss him.

I’ll be praying for you and Matt’s family. I enjoyed spending time with him at the Cove a few years ago.

1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

@sk8salomon I will also be praying for his family and for you my brother.

@sk8salomon I didn’t know him well but enjoyed the few times he we got to hang out.
Prayers for his family and yours.

Hope it’s ok that I update this thread from time to time. I surprised Matt’s son over Christmas and did some work on his truck. Took those skinny 255’s off and put some 305/75 mud kings on which make the truck look so much better. Also threw a winch on it for him. He cried and so did I. Felt good to wrench on his truck again. We couldn’t make the new years run mainly because I had to put my dog down
Did a quick day trip to Big Fork and let him play. Cheers to my bud watching from above. Hope to see you all @ GSMTR.
