I just received some horrible news that fellow strutter and friend to many on here, was killed a couple days ago when struck by an SUV on his bike. Details are shakey at this point, but I thought some of you should know.

    While I never got the chance to meet him in person, Matt was an awesome guy who made me laugh through his bugged out Facebook photos and made me drool with all his awesome Polo gear. Rest in peace my dude.

    And damn if the last time I posted on Soulstrut was give condolences to another Strutter.

    Fuuuuuuck.

    Had plenty of humorous exchanges with Stackswell here and through the social networks.

    A diamond geezer.

    FUUUUUUUUUCK.

    Condolences to his family.

    Damn, this is tough to read.

    RIP to a dude I never met, but who seemed thoroughly dude, and was such a welcome presence on the board when he came through.

    Stay safe everyone.

    i was expecting to read something funny about the dude or a story about a less-than-stellar-graded record exchange. not this; anything but this. i wish i'd got a chance to meet him face to face, hear him dj, share a drink and some laughs. he seemed like a genuinely cool cat with a sense of humor i get. if there's anything i / we can do to express condolences or support to his friends or family, i'm down to put something in motion.

    rest in peace, homie. you'll be missed.

    It's shocking when young dude dies of natural causes. Doubly shocking when it's unnatural causes.
    Triply shocking when it happens whilst engaged in healthy/green endeavour such as cycling.

    Always enjoyed his poasts.

    Condolences to all.

    Sorry... Just hearing this. No words. the last guy I thought I'd be hearing this about. We lost a good one.

    Safe travels kid. I'll miss you.

    Goddamnit this is horrible.

    I am absolutely in shock.
    Matt and I became super tight super quick two years ago when he extended me the most
    awesome hospitality while I was dealing with my dad's death in DC.
    Dude stayed up with me until the wee hours many nights consoling and counseling a dude
    he had just met.
    Shirt off his back kinda guy. Just the best.
    Funniest Yankee Ever.

    I had just mailed him a box of 45's last week.

    Tom, or any local strutter that may be around and helping out with his affairs,
    please pm me with any details of a service, I will hop on the first plane up there,
    and I have lots of family in D.C., so could definently get up there to help out with anything at all.

    I am just crushed.
