I will remember fondly all the times I spent with Chowder. I did not know him well enough.
My Thoughts and well wishes to his family and friends during this hard time.

I apologize in advance for the long message:
Chowder is the 2nd of my COH friends who has died in the past 4 months. Between those who are ill, service members who are deployed, or those who are in firmed, I can see how COH is more than just a game. It is a way to make friends and provide a mental escape from a hard reality. A place to connect with others in situations where they may be physically unable.
I never knew that Chowder's name was Matt. I don't think it would have mattered. All I knew is that I liked him. He was a fun, clever, selfless player who everyone enjoyed seeing and having on their team...or sharing a barb on the Pink Channel.
And though we will miss "Chowder," my heart goes out to those who knew Matt Sowder. Because if he was even a fraction of the person that "Chowder" was, he was truly a special person and their loss is profound.
RIP Chowder. You will be missed!

P.S.
I am sorry that wont' be able to make the wake as I will be on an airplane at that time, but I do plan on taking a personal moment with you guys.

Another fallen hero. Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.
Although I din't know @Chowder as well as some, and knew him better then others. I will say that it was a sad day when the news came out of his passing. I know how well he was liked, and how it affected so many in this virtual escape we call COH. I can not even begain to say how sorry I am for the people who knew him personally.
RIP brother you will be missed, and we all know you will be watching us.
I haven't known @Chowder for a long time but I wish to send my condolences.
@Chowder
Rest in Peace, you sexy devil.

They are indeed tear worthy. I am sorry to have missed it.
A dear friend took this image, and put on it what he saw and felt this night from those in his CoH family. It was so touching I had to share! Love and prayers to all the family and friends who are feeling this loss.
I cannot believe a great hero has past. I had a lot of moments teaming with him. I'll miss him.
I wish for the best for his family, and his friends. Will keep him and his family in my prayers.

This is a way cool Memorial you set up for @chowder.
I don't recall ever meeting him. I do recognize the names of several characters on these
Atlas dedication images. I think he would appreciate(s) this effort done for him.
I am impressed looking at this.
Hope he is on the next level of 'CoH in the sky' having good times.
