As discussed on the NGA Discord server, if anyone would like to donate money towards flowers for Matt's funeral, I created a PayPal pool for this purpose. Donate if you can or if you like to put something on the card, you can put it here or PM me and I'll see what can be done.

https://paypal.me/pools/c/8bLAZUgSC0

Best wishes.

Kryder

Kryder, I arranged for flowers to the funeral with a message for the family. I hope others can show their respect for the man by donating or making their own arrangements. You both gave a lot through the “fight club” badged tournanents for XBOX and PC so although early it would be nice to see in future a Tourney in his name and even better if it was a perpetual one. Something, anything to keep the spirit of the man alive here. SD

Flowers have been submitted for delivery to Matt's wake.

Thank you everyone who was able to donate and everyone who cared for him. A picture of the flowers sent is attached.

Best wishes.

Well done Kryder.

Has anyone had a touchpoint with Mobius on this? He and Hakeem were REALLY close for a long time.

Just a thought for you who were friends with him. If his wife was supportive of his MtG passion:

Someone with photoshop skills could take his old avatar, the Magic card with Hakeem Olajuwon, replace the head with a pic of him and frame that for his family.

I'm really sorry for you guys. Can't handle these things well despite no actual relationship.

I saw Mobius in the chat on CGB's stream but that's about it.

It's been an awful, awful few days, but it's been amazing to see the community can still organise something like this after being split apart well over a year ago now - Thanks guys,

you all
