WTF? I was so looking forward to meeting him summer
my thoughts go out to his family, his presence here will sorely missed
same here - I had burned him some music and as a result we had chatted online a bunch about music and life, and I felt in a lot of ways that we were really getting to know each other. I am so saddened by the thought of never being able to meet him in person!

Wow... just... wow. We only learned of this last night. I still can hardly believe he's gone. Over the past few years since we met him, we grew to love him more and more. The kindness of his soul shined through every time I talked to him. When he visited Strangecreek we were scheming some good times to come, without a single thought that perhaps it wouldn't be possible - the future seems boundless until a tragedy such as this strikes.
We have lost a cherished friend and family member. I send my strongest loving vibes to his family and those he touched.
RIP Matt. May the four winds blow you safely home.

Wow. It is just so surreal to wake up to another day and know that he is gone from us. I don't know that that feeling will ever change, tho.
My first thoughts this morning were about how he packed a lot of livin' into every single day. You can't say that he did not have a full life, cut desperately short as it was. He always had a smile to share and a good story to be told. His love for Lil' E was evident - his face and eyes would just light up with so much joy when he spoke about her! I am so sad that she will never get to experience just how wonderful her father was, but I know there will always be stories to be shared, and I am happy that his light still shines on in this world by way of his daughter.
Last night we met up with Andy and Eppy for Caution Jam - a local GD cover band that plays monthly - and toasted to The Skipper - "L'Chaim!" It felt good and timely that something was going on that we all connected thru. At first I wasn't sure I wanted to go, but I am glad that I did. Fambly, thru and thru.
A cold wind blows in Matt's absence, peace and love to everyone who feels it, whether those meetings took place IRL, or here, or wherever. We are all connected, no matter what our differences, we are all having this visceral human experience and doing the best that we can as we go along. It is good to be sharing the ride.

I miss you guys huge, too. We can't wait to see you again. I wish it could be sooner, my inability to travel at this time is all the more painful for having to miss out on being able to say goodbye to our friend, to give my dearest condolences and continued support to his family in-person, for not having the opportunity to celebrate his life at our favourite fest, all of us together as it should be. I love you both dearly.
It's funny to think that we all met Matt b/c of The Pegger that hot August night back in '08... What a situation that was, as the Skip would say! Who knows where these roads lead, yet somehow, we all get there with time. It was a good time we all shared, and I am thankful for that.

To the Feinstein family and friends
some words to help you through, worked for me
________________________________________________________
Do not shed tears when I have gone but smile instead because I have lived.
Do not shut your eyes and pray to God that I'll come back but open your eyes and see all that I have left behind.
I know your heart will be empty because you cannot see me but still I want you to be full of the love we shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live only for yesterday or you can be happy for tomorrow because of what happened between us yesterday.
You can remember me and grieve that I have gone or you can cherish my memory and let it live on.
You can cry and lose yourself, become distraught and turn your back on the world or you can do what I want - smile, wipe away the tears, learn to love again and go on.

as I mentioned earlier I did not get the chance to get to know him, but I could see even through here that he was a genuine and good person...

Like deadheadskier when I first met Matt I was not a big fan of him. Then we started talking a lot on here and I spent a wonderful evening with him at Strange Creek. We were planning to hang at Camp Bisco. Of course him with his classy hotel room and me out in the ghetto:lol: I will miss him a lot.
