Mod. Notice Vale Grizzlym

[rjslcM]

RIP Grizz. Probably received a deserved ban from you in my early days on here when I spoke a lot more than I listened. I read the entire thread about your dad. Thank you for entertaining so many people by sharing your stories. Legend.

R.I.P Grizz. Life just goes by so fast...

 

[MightyHawks]

RIP Grizz.

So sad to hear & far too young.

Thoughts with his family and everyone who knew him well.

 

[Brishawk]

I’m absolutely in shock
So sad. Rest in peace Matt. A great bloke gone too soon. You will be missed.

 

[Ram-Man]

I've just caught up on the sad news. RIP my friend.

 

[bigbol069]

Terrible news. He's been part of my bigfooty experience for years and a great, passionate Hawk. Rest in Peace.

Today we received some horrible news that one of the integral former posters and moderators of this board has passed away in the last few days.

We don’t have much more info than that at this stage, but I’m sure most of you who remember grizz will be as gutted and shocked as the rest of us who’ve learned of his passing.

Grizz was a major part of this forum for a long time, and through his connections was able to organize meetups at the club where a whole group of us were able chat with Mark Evans and other HFC staff about the “Don’t think, do” membership campaign which was dreamt up on these boards.

Others may remember that he was the man behind getting the HFC_Official account to post here, and even organised a live event with Graham Wright where we could ask him questions about the list on here. For a long time he was also the person behind “Shhhhh”.

Grizz was prevalent on a number of boards and held the attention of many posters and mods during his time here.

We’ll be thinking of ways in which we can remember Grizz over the coming weeks, but for now please join me and the rest of moderator team in thanking Grizz for all that he did for this place and the legacy he left behind on these boards, as I know he undoubtedly had conversations with many of you over the years.

Vale Matt.

Vale Grizz. Always fair and patient. As on opposing supporter that is all that you can ask. Very sad news.

Such awful news. Grizzlym was an absolute icon of Big Footy. He was a big reason why I'd log in. Piss funny, intelligent, left-field, passionate, humble and devoted moderator who made the Hawks forum an essential read. Rest in Power and condolsences to his family. He was one of the good ones.

 

[Glorin]

Just seeing this now. Saddened to hear of his passing. RIP Grizz

My uncle passed away in terribly similar circumstances, this bloody sucks. Always synonyms with bigfooty, rip legend.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Jeez, I have been offline for a few weeks and login to read this terrible news.

RIP Matt…you were one of the greats around these parts.

If there was one player Grizz loved more than any other, in that he tracked his career from the moment he walked into the club knowing he was going to be something special, it was Luke Bruest.

I would like to put it out there that we contact the club and see whether we can outrightly or co sponsor Luke as a player sponsor in his final seasons in the name of the late, great Matthew Ellis.

Thanks for your funny stories and humour.

Rest in peace.

That one story about his dad's bum soap cracks me up whenever I'm reminded of it, which is usually a few times a year when someone mentions their parents being weird.

So bloody random that he put that one together, but I'm really glad he did.

Really sorry to hear he left the big L so early.

Anyone capable of imprinting a semi permanent laugh into the life of someone he's never even met is always going to be alright by me. That and everything everyone says about him points to him just being one hell of a good bloke.

 

[EightyNineChamps]

Only just got back onto BF and very saddened to see this thread. Deepest condolences to his Family and all that got to know him. RIP Grizz...
