RIP Matt Sloan aka Carpedm01...

My prayers are with Matt and his family. May God grant rest and repose to his soul.

I had the honor of meeting Matt at the brunch 2 years ago. I never did get to try one of his cookies. This is sad news. May he rest in peace.

Oh jeez. I'm so sad to hear it was Matt. We added each other on Facebook after flipping out over the my first name his last name similarity. We tried to meet up the last roo or two but cell phones always died, and I never got around to messaging him this year. He was such a nice guy and I'm shocked this happened. Thoughts go to his family and friends.

This is such terrible news. I'll be wearing my Sanuks in his honor this week. Rest in piece man.

I met Matt and talked with him about some bluegrass when I showed up to the brunch early, and saw him several times in centeroo on Friday and Saturday. We were always in the crowd when we saw each other, so we didn't talk then but high-fived every time. I'm really very sad about this even though I didn't know him well, I just feel lucky to have met him once.
I've had "Do You Realize" stuck in my head all day. I'll probably think of Matt whenever I hear that song now.

this is so sad. and easily could have been prevented. so it also makes me a little bit angry. i never met him but we had discussions on the board and he was one of my facebook friends. r.i.p. matt.

im still really shaken up by this. I didn't know Matt personally but always enjoyed reading his posts and his presence on the board. When something like this happens, it really makes you put things into perspective. suddenly the ltitle things that you thought mattered dont really matter at all anymore.

peace be with you matt.

really sorry to hear about this. didn't know the guy, but my heart goes out to all those who knew him.

Matt was one of the very first people who welcomed me to inforoo. and as it turned out, we had a lot more in common than just the festival. he was such a fantastic person, always a smile. my heart breaks for his family and friends.

you will be dearly missed, Matt. may every day be a festival for you.

RIP

This is horrible. My deepest respect and condolences go out to Matt's family. May the angels watch over them.

I have not been on Inforoo in over a year, as I haven't been to Bonnaroo in a couple years. But as soon as I heard the news, I knew this was where to go. After all, it is because of Inforoo that Matt became one of my best friends.

Matt and I met about three and a half years ago, and became very close. He visited me in Missouri before Bonnaroo that year, and after Bonnaroo I visit him in NC. I am so grateful that I had that time with him. He was such a wonderful person. He taught me a lot about myself, about life... I loved him. I am thankful that Inforoo exists to bring like-minded friends together like this.

I am getting married at 10:30am on June 19 - thirty minutes in to his memorial service. As heavy as my heart will be, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Matt would not want his departure from this Earth to keep me from smiling that day. Matt's smile will be in my heart for the rest of my life. I only wish I had told him that the last time we talked. I did tell him, "Be safe," and I wish my words could have been more protection for my dear, dear friend.

This is just so sad. Matt was such a nice guy. I met him briefly at brunch last year and talked to him on here of course. I read about this on Sunday during Ween but it wasn't until later during Phoenix that I found out that it was one of our own. I was so upset. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. RIP Matt.

This really shook me. I am in chat pretty often and got the pleasure of chatting with Carpedm01 a couple times. He was very friendly and funny, too. I didn't know him beyond that.

I am a inforooer from NC also, and I just wanted to express my sorrow to the family. I hope the absolute best for these people in this terrible time.
