Hi Matty, it´s me again.
I think about you often and miss you. I hope you´re enjoying the stardust!

Matt was a genuine individual. All he wanted was to chill with like minded people. We often talked about our birds, the Buckeyes, heavy metal, and just whatever. I´m ashamed that I´m just now learning of his passing. I would´ve very much liked to attend his ceremony - whatever it was. I often wished I was his neighbor because he was down to talk about anything - even existential stuff no one cared about but us. The stars... life. Birds.
Man, I´ll really miss you, Matt. Come visit whenever you´d like. Peace.
