R.I.P. Matt Williamson

Dave - Power of Omens · December 14th, 2006, 11:59 AM

It has been quite a while since I've visited this page... so please accept my sincerest aplogies to those who have posted and not received a reply. I will do my best to get to these soon.

However it comes with great saddness to announce the passing of one of my dearest friends... Matt Williamson.

As many of you know, he had been diagosed with terminal cancer almost 2 years ago, and was only given 3 months to live at that time... but Matt's determination to fight this and win the battle was evident in his amazing struggle to survive almost 2 more years after his diagnosis. Unfortunately, as I just found out this morning, Matt lost his battle this past Saturday, December 9th.

He was an incredible person, a great friend, and an absolutely amazing bassist and musician. He will sorely be missed by his wife, family, as well as his Power of Omens family.

I will post more later this evening...
