He was the brother I never had as well. He protected me and genuinely cared about me as I did for him. We lost one of God's greatest gifts to this world.

He would be there for me and I HAVE to be there for him and his family. I used to spend the night at his house in high school back when he had his red 300ZX.. Man I miss those days. We ate at Brother's pizza, raced, and macked on girls together. I love that guy with all my heart. He even called my mom "mom".

I will visit the site today once I get directions from Josh and put up a pic of he and I and lay some flowers. I will always remember my dear friend.

GOD BLESS YOU MATT - RIP

We will be putting a benefit and ride together for him. It will be in the next week or so and will be posted for everyone, it will be for all his friends/family. Not just the bike people. I will be arranging this so give me some time to put this all together.

That's a beautiful idea. I have to get my Z28 back on the road for the ride.

We should also put all of our pictures together and make an enormous collage in his memory. I don't exactly know the best place to display it, but suggestions are welcome.

RIP Ski

Okay I just got the call from his sister. I will be getting a call later from his old roommate Josh for the exact details. But this is it so far.

I dont have exact addresses but this way people can plan on the dates and times.

The viewing will be at Schmitt Funeral home, I dont know the exact spelling. I do know it is on East Ave. It will be from 6-8pm tomorrow.

The funeral, will be at Kingsland or kingland Baptist church address not known at this time. The funeral will be at 11pm on Wed.

As I know more and the exact details, this is the info I have so far. I talked to his sister. Later I will know more, just wanted to get this out there for everyone.

Thanks
Jet George


LOVE YA BRA, miss ya matt "yankeeR6"
