[bobbie (imported)]

With Great Regrets the Passing of Matt luvpain.

Very sorry to announce that Matt (luvpain99) did not awake today. CPR was no help. I pray that he is now where he is no longer in constant pain. Will be several days before we have any more information.

OMG! I can't believe this. I'm very sorry to hear this news. It was just a couple of weeks ago we all met in PA. for the MoM's meeting. My deepest sympathies go out to all his family and friends. He will be dearly missed.

[MacTheWolf (imported)]

I'm sorry Bobbie. I didn't realize Matt was that close to death. I do hope he's happier now.

[Uncle Flo (imported)]

I am struck dumb. There are no words in my head to say what I feel. I give my most profound sympathy to you all. --FLO--

OneBallBoi told me a little bit ago about Matt.

I woke up this morning with an awkward feeling, but I brushed it off with no reason as to why the feeling existed.

I know now why the feeling was there.

Matt, I know you're in a wonderful place now.

I found this picture from Oct 2002 when Matt had met me on EA. He flew down a few weeks later and we met in person. I thought I'd share. He's logged into the archive in this image.

I'm so sorry to hear about his passing, but hope he is in a better place now. His loss comes as a huge blow. He'd been a huge part of the Eunuch Archive for so long. I just don't know what to say.

[Kangan (imported)]

I never knew him, but any loss to our community is a sorrow.

Life is short, and then you die....

[jemagirl (imported)]

I am so sorry to hear about this sad news. It seems like we are loosing so many good people lately. Matt will be missed very much.

[JesusA]

I just can't get my head around this....

For me, Matt will always be that vital young person who so proudly showed off his incredible patriotic tattoos at the East Coast gathering. He will be that ray of sun who illuminated the Portland gathering. My memories of him will be of very brief times spent together, but they were wonderful times.

My sympathies are with all who loved Matt and who cared deeply for him.

I'm just speechless....

I never met matt but really wish I had, my thoughts go to his family and close friends at this time......

[surf_toad (imported)]

all i can say is DAMN. just puts life in a more meaningful perspective. i have only chatted with LP for the last 10 years. met him last year in portland and this is totally shocking. if i needed another excuse for a bad day, this would definently be it.

Bobby, Big hugs from one huge amphibian. please hug OBB for me too. i will fax you both a couple cases of Jesus' best as soon as i get ahold of him. this is a bad day indeed.

[Eunuken (imported)]

I'm so deeply saddened by this news,

However he is definitely in a better place now.

I'm dumbfounded by this news.

I really don't know what else to say.

I am at a loss for words. Bobbie and OBB I am sorry for the loss of your friend and a friend to all on the Archive.

[talula]

I'm absolutly stunned and do not know what to say. This is so very sudden. If there is anything I can do...

[richard31uk (imported)]

words are hard at times like this.....and i know each and everyone of the regulars here has been touched in someway by Matt(luvpain) at somestage or another i for one would not be here today if it was not for the kind words he and others had for his friends.

This is a poem that has helped me through the loss of friends and loved one and i hope it helps others here to ease the passing of a great and much loved person.

Death is Nothing at all

Death is nothing at all

I have only slipped away into the next room

I am I and you are you

whatever we were to each other

that we still are

call me by my old familiar name

speak to me in the easy way

which you always used

put no difference in your tone

wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow

laugh as we always laughed

at the little jokes we enjoyed together

pray smile, think of me, pray for me

Let my name be ever the household word

that it always was

Let it be spoken without effort

without the trace of a shadow in it

Life means all that it ever meant

it is the same as it ever was

there is unbroken continuity

why should I be out of mind

because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you

somewhere very near

just around the corner

All is well

I am not sure what to say, shock, crushed, deflated comes to mind. My heart goes out to his family, the one in Detroit and the one in Milwaukee, Bobbie, OBB, I can't imagine what you have been going through today and you know that we are all here for support. If you would tell Matt's folks how deeply sorry we all are. Now I will go and continue that good cry, I understand it is suppose to help.

I am sorry to hear it Bobbie

[genderless (imported)]

What a tragic loss, my prayers for his friends and family.

I didn't know him either, but I'm sure he was a good person.

I'm sure he is in a better place.

[OneBallBoi (imported)]

Many of you know that Matt (Luvpain) and I were extremely close. I became internet accessible in Feb or Mar, 2001. One of my first searches was "castration" and I came to Eunuch Archive where I met Matt. I shared with him that I was a Christian struggling with the identity of being Gay. He shared with me that he had the same problem. We grew closer are we shared our faith in Jesus Christ together with our desires to become Eunuch. I am going to miss Matt one supreme lot. We were so close together. But I know that absent from the body means present with the Lord. Matt's soul is in heaven today. God bless you Matt. You are going to missed by me till I get up in heaven someday.

Bobbie and Ralph,

I am dumb struck by the news. I don't really know what to say.

I only met Matt once at the MOM meeting last June, but he made a lasting impression on me.

I sincerely hope and pray that he is in a better place as of today. My deepest condolences to the both of you, his family and friends.

[plix (imported)]

This truly is sad news.

I had the opportunity to meet Matt in person once, and I really enjoyed the conversation he and I had. He struck me as a very nice person. I am glad I had the chance to meet him.

This is certainly a heartbreaking time for all those who knew him and loved him, and my thoughts are with each and every one of them.

Matt will be missed by many.

Sh*t...

I have no words for this.

I can only share what I do now...
