@@lordrevan57 Was missing for over a week. They finally found him in the lake by his house. News confirmed and also his friends on youtube. Not much on what happened yet other than he had went to the E.R. and then left but was maybe disoriented and a bit lost.

I like how this video magically popped up right after watching Matt and his heartfelt video about his beautiful friend. I think Shoestring is alive in spirit because you can feel the love with all of the friendship videos popping up.
