The Gaffler

Fuuuuuuck.





Had plenty of humorous exchanges with Stackswell here and through the social networks.





A diamond geezer.





FUUUUUUUUUCK.





Condolences to his family.
 
Damn, this is tough to read.





RIP to a dude I never met, but who seemed thoroughly dude, and was such a welcome presence on the board when he came through.





Stay safe everyone.
 
i was expecting to read something funny about the dude or a story about a less-than-stellar-graded record exchange. not this; anything but this. i wish i'd got a chance to meet him face to face, hear him dj, share a drink and some laughs. he seemed like a genuinely cool cat with a sense of humor i get. if there's anything i / we can do to express condolences or support to his friends or family, i'm down to put something in motion.





rest in peace, homie. you'll be missed.

It's shocking when young dude dies of natural causes. Doubly shocking when it's unnatural causes.


Triply shocking when it happens whilst engaged in healthy/green endeavour such as cycling.





Always enjoyed his poasts.





Condolences to all.
 
Sorry... Just hearing this. No words. the last guy I thought I'd be hearing this about. We lost a good one.





Safe travels kid. I'll miss you.
 
Goddamnit this is horrible.





I am absolutely in shock.


Matt and I became super tight super quick two years ago when he extended me the most


awesome hospitality while I was dealing with my dad's death in DC.


Dude stayed up with me until the wee hours many nights consoling and counseling a dude


he had just met.


Shirt off his back kinda guy. Just the best.


Funniest Yankee Ever.





I had just mailed him a box of 45's last week.





Tom, or any local strutter that may be around and helping out with his affairs,


please pm me with any details of a service, I will hop on the first plane up there,


and I have lots of family in D.C., so could definently get up there to help out with anything at all.





I am just crushed.
 
I didn't know M*** first hand but he always made funny comments on my Instagram photos. RIP buddy.
 
Tell me this isn't real! Matt had such a great and unique sensibility. Following some of his moves on Instagram, it seemed like he was making such great strides in the store displays in the fashion world after his move to NYC. Only got to hang with him briefly in the real world but he left a huge impression and I get the feeling that he was fellow-traveler status with many of the people who were lucky enough to cross his path. If this is true, I'm pouring out some very cheap beer and having many slices of pizza in his honor.
 
Awful news, what a shame to hear. I enjoyed going back and forth with him a couple times on here, he had a great sense of humor and was one of the people from this corner that I would have probably enjoyed having a drink with. RIP to the kid.
