I just got back.

It's almost 3am and I just got back from taco bell. I was woken up at 12:30 by Britt saying Matt had been in and accident. I got up and went right over to Taco Bell. On my way I see flashing lights, no one told me he had died, or that it had happen at the intersection of Taco Bell right on 60. Matt and Vicki were crossing the street to go to the convenient store when Matt was hit my a car and killed instantly. The driver kept driving until the passenger made him pull over.
Matt was young and very creative. I can't help but think about the last thing I said to him earlier today about how he should start paying for his drinks when he comes in the store, because he came in every night to get a Dr. Pepper. Matt was very talented. He was a VERY accomplished artist, and had aspirations about writing a book. He was incorporating his art work into a video game that he and some friends were working on. Matt had so much to offer the world, and was a thinker. He always had an opinion. He was a very special person and A LOT of people will miss him.
I found myself trying to be strong for everyone else at Taco Bell cause that's what I do, it's whats expected of me. Yet when I got home I completely lost it. I pray for his family, friends, and his co workers. You don't realize how much the people you work with are like family until something drastic happens. Matt was a great person. We will all miss his dearly. We love you Matt.


JoeLove out!

P.S. More on Matt as we try and figure this whole mess out.
