Rolan Kraps, SASS # 24084 Life Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Matt always liked my "Screwball" matches like turning Starwars into a western, or the movie "Airplane!", or Zombies in UnDeadwood.

Cassalong Hopidy Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Matt was an easy man to meet, easier still to like. We relied on him to lead us in prayer at the start of the River Bend matches, and they were invariably thoughtful and from the heart. Matt was a gentle friend to so many of us, a man who lived passionately and well. He was quick to help with match reports, cooking or anything else that needed to be done. He was certainly an example for us, not only by way of his courage and strength in facing the adversity and pain of cancer, but by the grace with which he went through life. Rest now in peace, Matt, and may your family and friends find comfort in the truth of God's promises. Until our trails cross again-- Â Cass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Matt was always quick with a handshake and a smile. He was just a good, decent guy who was always there to help or encourage, as needed. He left a big hole in our North Georgia Cowboy community and I'm going to miss him. Â Godspeed Mean Matt McCord.

Marshal Chance Morgun Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Truly saddened by the news. Matt and I sent PM's to each other and he gave me helpful words of encouragement when I had my cancer.

Bama Red Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Dammit! Â I always read Matt's posts and enjoyed them. I never met him in person, and that is my loss, but I did swap PM's with him a while back and he was on my list of folks I'd like to shoot with. Now that day will have to wait until we meet again. Â My deepest sympathies and most sincere condolences to his family and numerous friends. Our SASS world just got a little smaller and a whole lot poorer.

Witch Doctor, SASS # 70062 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 What happened to Mean Matt? Why is he gone? I just got back... and this is not good news. Â Ahh heck... this is not what I wanted to come back to... Â Please let me know.. Â ts Hello TS. It is our loss that Matt was called up to the major league prayer posse last Tuesday. Krazy Kajun talked with Gunwalker yesterday afternoon and he provided information for the memorial service for Mean Matt McCord (Matthew Ogilvie). It will be held on Saturday May 31st at 3pm at the Crossroads Community Church in Woodstock. The church is located at 2317 Bascomb Carmel Rd, Woodstock GA 30189. Cowboy clothes are welcome. At River Bend, we will be holding a shotgun salute for our dear friend before the match on Saturday, June 7th. That happens to be the date for our Round Up at River Bend 8 stage annual match - so a lot of Matt's friends will be on hand for his cowboy sendoff. If you can't come and want to be part of the tribute posse - give me your name - we will write it on a shotgun shell and make sure it gets shot when we line up for his salute.

Pack Rat, SASS #1739 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Witch Doctor- if you would, please put mine and Opal Rose's name on a shell for the tribute salute for Matt. Â I've known Matt for over 10 years and yet never met him. I've been a sales rep for aerospace manufacturers and he was my engineer at Lockheed I would talk with and work with. It took half that time to find out he was a Cowboy Action Shooter and we bonded immediatly after that. We would talk guns, stages, shooting techiques and just about anything SASS. We would talk about meeting up at EOT and giving it a try in NM. Matt had an open invite to come to So Cal and try our annual matches. Catherine was big on Roy and Dale and being in the RR_ Regulators I would send them stuff we would get at our matches associated with the Rogers. Some of the photos I've seen here show Matt wearing the gun belt I made for him and I was talking with him about making holsters to match. Opal Rose made him the blue arm garters he is seen wearing as well for esophageal cancer. He was a survivor and put up a hell of a fight. Unfortunately I didnt see this post earlier and called his wife to see how he was doing- I felt like I was hit by a freight train when she told me he was no longer with us. Matt was my friend and is missed. My prayers are for him and his family. Today is truly a sad day. Those of you Cowboys and Cowgirls that met or talked with Matt are richer for it. Happy Trails my friend. Stephen "Pack Rat" Read Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
