Sound On Sight has lost a family member

It wasn’t long ago that Matt Marquissee approached me expressing interest in contributing to our small publication. He was a freelance web developer with a Masters in Computer Science and had an unquestionable love for science fiction, mythology, and the art of storytelling – How could I say no?

Sound On Sight has continued to rapidly grow in a short four years and only continues to exist because of the hard work of such contributors as Matt. In that brief time I’ve had the privilege of befriending a wide range of individuals from around the world, all of whom share one common bond – our love and obsession of cinema. So how does one react when hearing the news that a fellow Sound On Sight family member has passed away? We do what we do best. We quote a movie – in this case two – one for us and the second for Matt, because we know how much you love Blade Runner dude!

“I don’t know if we each have a destiny, or if we’re all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it’s both”.

“A new life awaits you in the Off-world colonies! A chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure!”

Sound On Sight would like to extend our deepest condolences to Matt’s family and friends.

R.I.P.

    I didn’t know the gentleman, and I’m not even sure I knew his work (you cruise through here, you drop in when you see a headline that interests you). And yet, still, there’s a pang. Know him or not, he was one of us. As you say, one of our “family.”
    I join you in extending our sympathies and hopes for better days to his friends and family.

    I wish I could have known him and his work better. Thanks for posting this.
