i don't think matt had cancer but he was sick. an accident involving severe brain trauma -- which really should have killed him (he was left for dead on the side of a street or in an alley) -- disabled him and left him in a lot of pain. he lived with it for years. i know he was having trouble with his living arrangements. . . i didn't talk to him the last couple weeks before he died and i suppose it's because he had left the assisted living facility and couldn't get online. the owner of the place was really bothering him, i don't know if it had to do with money or what but he was found in a motel 6 without his laptop and some other items he was supposed to have had with him.
he seemed like he'd gone through the motions and overcome depression, always telling me that his accident gave him an appreciation for life he had never felt before. but i do know his pain was severe and he took a lot of things very hard (including some of his experiences here but i feel like i helped him understand it's not to be taken so personally).
sorry guys i'm just rambling. matt was the first friend i ever lost and damn i miss him
