Matt Thompson
1979 - 2008

Matt Thompson of Argos, Indiana suffered what proved to be a fatal neck injury while riding at RedBud on Labor Day, September 1. Matt passed away Tuesday evening at Memorial Hospital in South Bend; he was 29 years old.

Matt was a long time motocross rider enjoying a day at the track with his son and riding buddies. Matt's son Ryley was especially excited to be riding the 50 track since he had just gotten rid of his training wheels the week before, and Matt was looking forward to putting in some laps on his new 450.

By all accounts, Matt lived life to the fullest, and his family and friends say he died doing what he loved - riding his motorcycle. He leaves behind his mom - Patty Thompson, his 4-year-old son - Ryley Sears, Ryley's mom - Kristy Sears, and a very large group of friends and family members. He will be tremendously missed.

The Ryley Sears Trust Fund has been established at First Source bank in Argos. You can make contributions to the trust fund anytime at RedBud, or you can send directly to:

Visitation will be held at the Earl-Grossman Funeral Home (208 N. Michigan St.) in Argos this Saturday, September 6, from 10am until 4pm. Graveside service immediately following visitation.

Please continue to keep Matt's family and friends in your prayers.
