It is with great sadness and a heavy heart to share the news that Matt Slay has passed away from COVID-19 earlier today. You may recognize Matt for his many contributions to the Fox Community on VFPX with the next generation of GoFish, DynamicForms, assisting Jim Nelson and Doug Hennig with the development and testing of Thor, inspiring the Go To Definition feature in Thor, and the VFP language template for VS Code, just to name a few of his contributions. Matt also inspired other developers to create things for our community when he was not tackling them himself. He was very good at twisting arms of fellow Visual FoxPro developers to get other things contributed.

Matt leaves behind his wife Sharon and two teenage sons. This is an absolute gut punch and is a terrible way to extinguish a shining star in our community.
