Sad day in Inuvik

As some of you are probably aware, I used to live in Inuvik, NT and my family still lives there. It’s a very small town, probably only about 3000 people, so you tend to know everyone. As a result, when someone loses their life, like Matt Wojdak did today, the effect ripples through town.

My Dad has written a nice post explaining what happened. The Volunteer Fire Department, of which Matt was as member, has also posted a message. I know my brother and sister were really good friends of Matt, and are taking the news pretty hard. If you guys read this, I hope you’re okay. I don’t know what I’d do in your position, it must be so hard. Try to stay positive. You’ve got lots of great friends and family around you to lean on, and them on you, so support each other, and things will turn out okay, as they always do.

  1. Thanks Mack. This was very nice of you. Today was a hard day for Tom, myself and all other people close to Matt. Every time I have thought about the good times with Matt today, I just can’t get his wonderful, contagious smile out of my head. He will be remembered for the good times, and has left an awesome impact on many peoples lives. It’s extremely sad but as Matt would want us to, we are all still smiling and thinking of the good times. Hope he rests in peace.
