To all on SLED NH forum and riders, a huge THANK YOU from the family of MatttheCat. Matt would've been 41 on the 3rd of Feb. He loved going up north to snowmobile and spend time with old friends, co-workers, and those he had just met. He would always talk about what he was going to his sled next (if it wasn't broken). Matt always did everything to the extreme. I never went riding with him, but I am sure that there was never a dull moment. He was always the kind of guy who would lend a hand to anyone and that was reflected in the amount of people who showed up to his wake and funeral. He is missed very much by many. Thanks to KillerBee04 for telling me about this site, it is an honor to read the comments left by those who rode with him and some who never met him but may have heard of him. Matt would, I'm sure, ride it like he stole it or at least til it broke then make it faster. Ride safe the rest of this season, and hopefully you'll get that snow. Matt is watching, wishing he could've had one last ride.
