Very sad news, Matt was killed yesterday in an accident involving a tow truck. My condolences to his family, friends, students, and fans. He made a positive impact on many and will be sorely missed.

Just heard about it this morning.  That's awful.

Matt was a real cool dude.  Had the opportunity to work with him for a time at my last job and currently work with one or two of his relatives.

I heard this morning. Sad, he was a good guy. I took two of his classes.
Messed up way to go out.

Met him at a gunshow several years back and enjoyed listening to his radio program when was able to catch it.  RIP Matt.

It sucks.  From what I’ve heard-he was a good dude and seemed like a good dude on his radio show and when I observed him teaching a class.

Guy I know took a couple of his classes and he spread the word about Jesus at the end of his class.

Damn I just saw this. I took his CCW class when I was 23 years ago. The article is vague though, anyone know what happened?

No details released.  Just that the tow truck driver was apparently reversing/repositioning and hit Matt.  Heard on the radio this morning that the funeral will be on Saturday at Camp Niangua.  Didn't catch the details.

Btw, it has been a while bro.  Hope you're doing well.
