luvpain/Matt
I honestly didn't know you that well. We talked in the chatroom, we disagreed on several things, we shouted at each other and we always seemed to lose it over dumb stuff. There were always cooler heads than ours around to act as buffers.
In the last year or so we got along great. We had apologized to each other and had promised to get agree on most things...and we did.
We both knew what a hard life was except, I only had my mom to deal with while you had a myriad of problems. You fought depression most of your life. At first, you were depressed bevause of your long desire to be a eunuch so you could fit in better in the EA community and yet you were beset by many stumbling blocks preventing you from accomplishing what you wanted. Finally, you realized your dream and we were all; happy for you.
Then your various medical maladies worsened and you had to give up your career in computers, This was followed by Michigan denying you your right to proper disability payments to enable you to live independently and free.
You were plagued by migraines, a condition we share, and never seemed to find a remedy for the pain or the prevention of them. This and other things caused you to go without sleep often and I personally understand what lack of sleep can do to the human body.
You and James broke up often and that had to be hard on you. I'm not positive but I believe you were even depressed over your belief that you were passed over for leadership in the Eunuch Archive.
But Matt, there are several things that nobody can EVER take away from you: (1) You had dozens of friends and hundreds of admirers here on the Eunuch Archive and on BME-IAM who loved and admired you. (2) You were one of the Founding Fathers of the Eunuch Archive. (3) You were a respected chat room moderator. (4) You contributed to the Message Boards often and wrote highly intelligent and fascinating commentaries. (5) You were one of the most prolific contributors to IAM-BME and you may have the most numerous pages of any other member.
You have always been a PATRIOT to your country and demonstrated it by your numerous patriotic tattoos including American Flags, the Bald Eagle, Blue Angels and the Statue of Liberty.
Matt, you have left behind your mark in the Eunuch Archive, the BME-IAM community and in the hearts and minds of all who read your words and the few who were fortunate enough to meet you in person.
We who knew you will never forget you. We are less without you.

Christina and I had the pleasure of making breakfast for the guys Sunday morning I believe. I was very nervous about that, but managed just fine. Matt loved pancakes, so I made them. He ate plenty of them. They were actually pretty good for being already mixed stuff. We didnt have any complaints. 
So anyway, what I thought was so cute that Matt did the day we were leaving saying our goodbyes and all that. He was pretty tall like, 6'2 or 3" and I am 4'11 maybe, but anyway, he was going to hug me and he bent down so low to my height, i just giggled to myself because I thought that was so nice of him to bend down like that. I told him as I hugged him I said... *Matt, you take care of yourself sweetie* and then we waved as we went by. He was a treat to be around.
