I honestly do not know where to begin while talking about Matt64... I could start with adjectives like "kind" and "genuine" but that wouldn't have been enough to describe this one of a kind individual. He was someone who meant a lot to me and others... I often found myself looking forward to calls in The Real Fakes after a very long day at school or work and his voice was one of the more calmer and soothing ones. I never knew what to believe when Matt was talking to me about what was going on in his real life. I didn't know what was true and I was scared but didn't think too much into it. I was wrong to do that. I look back on what was and often think of what more I could've did but truth be told, we all did what we could. Matt was someone I could count on for a lot of things. Him and I weren't the closest of friends but I considered him to be someone very useful and I will always remember him in a positive light. I will always remember when I started telling people about my autism that he told me about his older brother on the spectrum. That is what really drew me to Matt. He accepted me and everyone for who they were and he never looked down on someone for being different. It seems like yesterday I got the news at work and had to sit and process what had happened.
I will never forget your kind soul and everything you stood for. You know you mean a lot to someone when you never even knew them IRL and Matt left that impression on me.
if you are suffering contact the suicide hotline (1-800-273-8255) immediately. Or talk to someone you can confide in. I will always be here for anyone who needs it.
I will never forget you Matt, rest easy my friend. <3
