Matthew Allen Balcomb

Laurie-
I am so sad to read of Matt's passing. I was looking for contact information for you guys (trying to get together the original heli-skiing group for a party). As I sit here and write this, I smile thinking about how funny Matt was doing the "8 Seconds" wave after ripping up 500 meters of vertical. God, I am so sorry and so sad... the world lost a great raconteur and a loving husband and dad. I am going to go home tonight and watch the tape from that epic week. Our thoughts...

I am sure they would love it. They are having a hard time with the holidays and all. Please contact me I am Matts sister and I live in the Denver area. My email is [email protected]

Thanks so much
Rachael

My dear Brother is has been almost three months since you have been gone. It still hurts like it happened today. Tomorrow would of been your 51st birthday. I miss you so, I don't know that you will ever understand how your death has affected me. I love you Matt and I miss you....

Laurie, Tyson, Tanis & Taryn . . .I'm so very sorry for your loss. I wish there were something I could do or say that would ease your pain. I am so very thankful to have met your family and been able to have some fantastic adventures with all of you together. The best powder days of my life were spent chasing you guys, especially Matt, down the mountain! I will never step foot on Mt. Hood again without thoughts of Matt and your family. Please know that all of you are in my thoughts and...
