Matthew Sullivan died today in Los Angeles. For those that knew him, he was truly one of a kind.
I apologize for posting this in this forum, Jeff, so if you think of a better place, please post or move it there. I just think people need to know.
Matthew was responsible for many of us meeting each other at various event. He was ultimately responsible for getting me to SRM in 2003, as he'd given the ticket to me as a Christmas gift in 2002. I met our webmaster there, as well as many others.
May his memory be blessed.
I'll miss you, my friend.

I met him only briefly at PPP last year, but we'll always have the Purple Woodie logo. Vic and I listened to his mix CDs all through PPP weekend. He will definitely be missed. :(
Amen, Paula.
Matthew was responsible for introducing me to so many of my friends. Going on that trip with him to CAC in 2005 changed my life. He gave so much without expecting anything in return. I'm so glad I got to see him one last time back in October. So many fond memories. Love you Mooshie.

I didn't know him personally but he seemed like a good guy. My condolences to all of his friends and family.

That's where I met him as well. This didn't seem to be on anyone's radar. Very hard to believe. He was way too young. Condolences to everyone close to him.

He'd been really sick with various issues for quite some time now. In some ways, it was expected, and in others, not even kind of. I'd just spoken to him a few days back, and he was feeling a lot better, then bam.... went to the hospital, found out he had cancer, and died. All in 2 days.
God bless his memory. He was a great friend.

Very Sad :(
While it has been years since I have seen him in person and I have basically gotten out of roller coasters as more important things have taken over this still hits me pretty hard.
He was a great guy and really was a driving force behind the community of friends here on CBuzz. I will always treasure being Mooshed. Now that I think of it I had met him probably a half a dozen times but they were all at HW or Knoebel's. When he did his calendars he had one of my photos in it in 04 and 05.
The inside jokes, the witty banter, M:TR, Mooshie you will be missed but I think the greater thing is how many of us you touched in real life...
Touched in real life....Moosh would have gotten a chuckle out of that too.

I never got to meet him in person either, but I had the privilege of being flirty with him by e-mail and on here for many years. He will be missed by many. He was one of the good guys.

Moosh was one of the people who welcomed me onto this forum when I started. I may not post as much as others, but his humor helped me work my way in. Not knowing anyone on this board personally, I didn't know why he hadn't been around. RIP, Moosh. Somewhere, Betty White sheds a tear...
