Matthew Alan Karns

1979-June 11th 2007

Is it the wind there, over my shoulder?
Is it your voice calling quietly?
Over the hilltop, down in the valley
Never alone for you walk with me
Over the hilltop, down in the valley
Never alone for you walk with me

While I didn't know him, I'm very close with his two younger brothers: Steve (who I went to school with) and Mike (who I know through theatre). But even so, it's shaken up the whole theatre community at the playhouse. Mike... is an amazing person -- to, in spite of this, still go on with the show. My heart just broke last night watching him. As, for those of you who don't know, there's a funeral scene in The Full Monty. My heart absolutely broke.

Matthew was killed in a motorcycle accident. This is for all of you who own/have/ride motorcycles. For the love of god, be careful when you drive them.

Motorcycles are evil... my BF is paralyzed because of one and the numskull still wants to get back on one.

Anyhow... I know that it is difficult seeing people you are close to grieving. And I can only imagine what it was like for Mike in the production. Hopefully it's a release for him.

thoughts and prayers to everybody up there.

I'm so sorry, that must have been so shocking. *hugs*
