    Default RIP Big Matt

    Don't think he was on here much but if you ever hung out at mainstream you've probably met him before. Matt drove a green 4 door GSR and a gold 4 door ef turbo d series. I've known him since I worked at mainstream and managed to see him every month or so when I ran by mainstream. Always a smile on his face, he had this big jovial laugh that just seemed to fill the room.

    He was one of the nicest guys I've ever met or had the pleasure of doing business with. Not to start rumors but supposedly he was working out and passed out and they were unable to revive him.

    RIP BIG MATT

    Is this really true? I'm trying to get ahold of his neighbors right now to confirm this. I've been knowing him since '03 and he was a real nice guy. I know his mom is falling to pieces right now. If this is true....

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    yea i heard about this too this morning. ive known matt for about 5 years, and he was a real good dude. Real nice, and had a good spirit, always willing to help out. And loved to talk, and loved some hondas. i always joked about his 200hp stock Gsr. He will def. be missed. I know he was taking care of his mom, i hope shes alright. and yea he did pass out working out yesterday morning.

    I just got off the phone with his neighbor and he just confirmed it. He was the primary source of income. The rest of his family is trying to come through to take care of her. I really hate it for her that this happened. It really saddens me.

    I spoke to his neighbor this morning and they haven't found out any arrangements yet, but they'll know something later on today. I'll keep ya'll posted. I have to go to work in a little bit. I'll have my g/f post up info for the funeral.

    That's the last image I have of him. He was struggling with some bolt, and I was like "Just give james $20 bucks and he can do it in 5 minutes for you..." He just laughed and said "I may do that"

    Fellas, I'm still trying to get in contact with his people. So far, his neighbors no nothing. I'm almost tempted to drive over there. He stays 5 minutes walking distance from 6 flags in a sub division. I, unfortunately, stay 36 miles from him. All I can go on for right now is friends and family.

    FYI, I provided a link for anyone who's interested in attending. You can go to www.simsfunerals.com and get all the info needed. The wake is going on from 1 to 7 tomorrow. The funeral is around 12 on tuesday.
