Yep, always wanted that #### cranked at my funeral... #### you all!!! :wink2:

Same here, I was very worried for Dave B., not knowing causation. I'm sure it is eating him up anyways.

Matt and I talked several times over the last half year, he asked me if it was worth going out to VA to work...I told him that Dave would treat him right. Things were going great for both of them, they'd done several jobs the last time we talked. The 120 ton crane was the next job in line, I was on vaca so they did not "bother" me too much with details.

Matt had plans, he was looking for a bucket, had just set up his chip-truck to handle large loads....crying shame...Happy guy, a joke a minute.

We only worked together for a day on a few of Dave's jobs in IL, he liked how I worked and was talking of having me down to do some fun removals.

Yeah, Matt said he really enjoyed working with you and you knew what you were doing either in a pm or on the phone I think. Didn't mind grounding for you and that is a compliment from one climber to another.

I was thinking of throwing some tunes up the other day, but didn't feel like it at the time.

I know Matt was a Floyd fan, many somewhat applicable tunes come to mind, wish you were here, learning to fly, shine on you crazy diamond....the list goes on. Who can pick? So I'm going to go with an epic and let it ride...

My crew and I got the chance to have Matthew climb for us on a couple jobs down there. It was the first time meeting Matthew, he was full of life and a great climber who had a bright future. I'm really sorry to hear this

Sad news....Does anyone know what he died from?

 

[tree MDS]

You know, it's been my experience (so far) that life throws you a lot of ####birds, and a few good eggs... maybe we should take this opportunity to appreciate the good ones. Just an observation here.

I can't say for sure but I think the cause of death was life.

Certainly could see how that might have been a leading contributor. lol.

Didn't know the guy that well, other than in spirit (and from a handful of texts and pm's), but my guess is it was a case of being one of the good ones that killed the kid.. seen it all too many times already.

Sucks real bad!

You would have liked him he had that kind of "gravity" around him.
