Got some very sad news today. One of our regular board members, Mark Mathews (username: MMathews) has passed away.
As most of you know, Mark did A LOT of work on the various artists CDs that we all love so much. He was always generous and helpful with his time and expertise. This is a HUGE loss for us music collectors, his friends and family. May he Rest in Peace. |

I'm so sad to hear this news. Mark was the best at what he did, and yes, very generous with his time and craft.

"The Mixfixer" was fantastic. Mark was younger than I so
I'm stunned to see this sad news. I will miss him and his huge contributions to this chat board. God bless him!! |

Very shocked to read this news. Mark was a Facebook friend
and would comment on humorous memes and photos as well as event photos I was the DJ for. I only came to know Mark through this forum, BSN and through the collector's group. May a wonderful man rest in peace. |

So very sad to hear this.
He and I are about the same age. We both grew up around New York City, listening to the same stuff on the radio. His first 45 was actually the same as my first 45: "Le Freak" by Chic. We started strong. |

There's a lot of crap on the radio, but there's only one Crap From The Past.

Wow, very sorry and saddened to hear this news. He did a lot of excellent and passion-infused work on a lot of music. I had the pleasure
of interacting with him several times online and as mentioned, he was very generous with his time. He will be greatly missed. |

This is horrible news! Mark was one of my best friends. We first connected
around '98-ish during the Napster days. We just spoke on the phone just 2 or 3 nights ago, and he seemed fine. What happened? I can’t believe this news. I’m beyond saddened by this. I can’t imagine a world without him. One of the nicest guys EVER. Like others have said here, he was very generous with his time and knowledge. RIP Mark, and my condolences to his family and friends.

This is terrible. I’m shocked at hearing this awful news. I was just listening
to one of the new CDs Mark had a hand in creating for Hit Parade Records and was admiring the work he (and a few select others) had done. Although I didn’t know him and hadn’t met him, I learned a bunch from Mark’s expertise on this board. He was a very talented guy with a good ear who had the ability to pay attention to detail, and had the knowledge and patience to discover and notice minor details in recordings. He will certainly be missed. A major loss to this board. I feel for his friends and family. So sorry to hear. Jon O. |

Sorry and sad to hear.
Mark's postings were always a good read, and willingness to share thoughts on music drew us in. Play those 45's in the sky, Mark! |
