Chillyb1 Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Some of you may know, or know of, Matt, who usually went by Mojodoctor on scale automobile modeling sites and forums. I just today found out he died late last month and the age of just 55. He was an avid modeler and a super-friendly guy. He was one of those who started a million models and finished few, but kept a spirit of enthusiasm and encouragement all the while.
Harry P. Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I "met" him when I was a member of the SA forum back when dinosaurs still ruled the earth. Sorry to hear this. And BTW... thanks to Mojodoctor for "Auto ID." He is the guy who ran it back in the day on the SA forum, before the great purge, when management decided one day to erase a significant portion of their forum and drove many of us away. But on the bright side, that event was the reason I found this place, RIP, Matt.
Agent G Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I was there with you and Mojodoctor. Sorry to hear he passed, and at such a young age too. RIP, Matt G
slusher Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I remember him. So sorry he was still too young to die. R.I.P.
Guest Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Yes, I remember him from back in the days at SA. Sad to hear.
Kris Morgan Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 R.I.P. Matt. I too remember Matt from SA. His crazy quizzes were a lot of fun. His passion for the hobby will be missed. Matt was a great guy always willing to help where he could. When I posted my first ever "part request"' Matt was the man to help out. Wanted nothing in return, just to help. Luckily, I was able to return the favor a few years later when I had a part he needed.
Custom Hearse Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) That's sad to hear. I met him on sa as well, and he was one of the people you could ask questions and he was happy to reply. My condolences to his family and his friends, we will miss him... Edited May 9, 2014 by Custom Hearse
Jantrix Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) I "met" him when I was a member of the SA forum back when dinosaurs still ruled the earth. Sorry to hear this. A real shame. Mojodoc was very outgoing and supportive when I rejoined this hobby and discovered the SA forums back in the day. He was a constant source of building advice and I liked him very much. The last place I saw him was the Model Cars Haven forums I think. He was a real good guy. Edited May 9, 2014 by Jantrix
Craig Irwin Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 I was there back in the prehistoric days at SA too, he and I were paired for a Christmas kit exchange. I never built the model I received, but it just got moved to the front of the line. RIP.
charlie8575 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Very sorry to hear this. I knew Matt on The Modeler's Haven. Friendly, great sense of humor and some real hum-dinger quizzes. May all who knew him find peace with his loss. Charlie Larkin
