I used to work in addiction treatment.
Everybody "Jokes" about drinking and drug use, but the dark demons that come with it can be dire. It's not funny. I had a shooting friend who drank himself to death. I miss catching him at the range. Take any lesson you can from this tragedy. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By midmo: "...after a long battle with alcohol addition..." Since when do they start listing those kinds of personal details in an obituary? JFC. It is up to the family. I would say it is a subtle public service warning to those so inclined. I have seen much more explicit messages in obits regarding drugs. Not common but it happens. My condolences to the friends and family. |

I always pointed fellow NYers to ADCO for barrel work, since it was so commonly needed here to adhere to the silly laws. My thoughts are with you guys and his family. |

My mother did the same thing when my Aunt died at 41 years old. I will be 41 in October, I was 28 when she died. And I definitely did a self evaluation on my drinking patterns and really did some thinking on my families history of alcohol abuse. My cousin is now 2 years sober, and I rarely drink anymore. Her passing and not candy coating why she died helped me. My condolences to his family, friends, and coworkers.

The family writes the obit so I guess they wanted that included for some reason. I can't say I've ever seen it before. Known several drug addicts who died of ODs or suicide and their families all made it sound like they died trying to find a cure for cancer. |

I think it’s a good thing they were just up front and honest in a situation like this. Who knows if it might help someone else. The dangers of alcohol abuse have been well documented and advertised for decades, if not centuries. While I personally see no benefit to tarnishing a victim's memory by broadcasting his own personal struggle to the world, it is the family's decision and he may even have made the decision himself before he passed. At any rate, no more from me on it. This thread is not the time or place to dicker about it. RIP |

RIP I'm sorry for your loss. My best friend is currently battling an alcohol addiction relapse. It will likely cost him his family. Maybe his job and possessions, as well. If he keeps up his current trajectory, his life. |

I am thankful the family decided to do this, personally, as many of us have struggled in the past and some members continue to struggle today. Matt was a good man and he did beautiful work. He will be missed by many in the shooting community. |

I've now been sober for just over a year. Not to take away from the point of this thread. Alcohol can be a very bad thing and destroys family's and lives. I'm happy I got ahold of it before it did that to me....well us. I'm sitting here reading this as I take a break from chasing my 2 and 4 year old boys around and getting things ready for my wife and I to take our boy to preschool tomorrow morning for his fist day. I feel better than I ever have. I'm so sorry for the loss of this man. He had so much to look forward to, and obviously some great talents. My condolences are genuine and closely felt

Rest In Paradise sir
I sent out a colt barrel to ADCO to have shortened and threaded because of all the good reviews I’ve seen here; him contributing to the reason for those good reviews I’m sure. Being only a few years older than me, that’s too young to go in this day and age. Condolences to all affected by this. |

Condolences to his family and friends. Way too young. I've seen some amazing barrel work by ADCO. Particularly when a thread protector disappears onto a barrel where you can't even tell the barrel is threaded. |
