Just saw this, very sad news and I will miss his River Reports.
I've had a few friends pass on suddenly so we never know when our name will be called.
I will keep his family in prayer and hope they find solace in the only one who can give it in times like these, the one who conquered death by His resurection.
One of the nicest guys I've met on CTF. Matt was supposed to come over my house this past Monday so I could wire up his Kia for trailer lights, but called to back out due to the weather and having his daughter that day. Wish he hadn't...
Sally called me about an hour ago concerning a Katrina Fund? I was almost home and had a lousy connection on my cell. I think she was looking for another Brian. If anyone knows anything about this, please get hold of me. 860-543-4778. I also asked Sally to please call me if she didn't mind to keep the CTF family updated.
Miss you already bud!
FYI, Spoke to Sally last night...
Both Sally and Katrina are going through a very difficult time right now. Katrina has not accepted this yet and hoping it is not real. Sally is remembering Matt, her fairytale prince from years ago when she felt they had it all prior to divorce. Sad.
So far, no apparent cause of death. Further tests being done.
Matt's family is now thinking of cremation and "Celebration of Life" when his parents can return from FL in July.
Paul and I are working on coordinating a Titt's Island memorial fishing event. Date to be determined, will post on another thread when we work out the details.
I always enjoyed reading Matt's Cats post. I've PM him many times in the past about how to catch the cats and he always replied with helpful hints. Had the privilege to carp fish with Matt a couple times at Wethersfield Cove. Great guy, very easy going from just the few times our paths crossed. Way to young. RIP Matt.
Man has to believe in something....so I believe I'll go ICEfishing!
Here CARPY CARPY CARPY.... Always in seacrh of BIG CARPS!
