Got to do something super cool today, got to rapel 260 feet down to support @EasterSeals!
Had so much fun and honestly would do it again in a heartbeat. Check Easter Seals out and donate if you can!

Absolutely gutted to learn of the passing of Matthew Rodrigopulle. A kind, bright young man who I was fortunate to interact with for a short time @TLNdc.
I don't know what to say, my thoughts are with his family. They have lost a tremendous person far too soon. https://t.co/UiRlKacewy

Heartbreaking to hear. We only crossed paths briefly here on Twitter and at TLN, but my heart goes out to his family. A fixture on Leafs Twitter and no doubt a rising star in the industry. Gone far too soon. RIP. https://t.co/Z0GfXbUpWh

I had the pleasure of editing Matthew’s work during our time at FanSided. He was such a passionate and talented writer, and an even better person. This is indescribably heartbreaking. Tell your loved ones you love them. https://t.co/YBENUiIDsk

The amount of shock and heartbreak I am feeling from this can’t be measured. Matthew was a joy to work with at TLN and it was exciting to see him head out west and achieve his career goals. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him and my heart goes out to his family. https://t.co/iLlQGID1JL

I had the opportunity to write alongside Matthew at @EditorinLeaf & @TLNdc. Such a talented young man with a love of sports, & when gotten the opportunity to go to Regina to become a live reporter, was thrilled about it. Such sad news. Sending condolences to his family & friends. https://t.co/A7qfFFRssX
