I can’t find my deceased friend’s obit b/c takes $. Name: Matthew Herzog (3-19-86 to 10-14-04) Houston, Texas.?

He was a 6th generation Houstonian, and his original obituary is located at www.chron.com (or via the Houston Chronicle, which features mostly all of Houston’s deceased in their "Obituary" section, and the only problem I’m having accessing his obituary, is monetary-wise. They want me to put in my credit card number and charge me $2.95, to actually read my best friend’s obituary. I wasn’t able to make his funeral, because it was private, and none of his friends went (thanks to his sadistic parents) and I REFUSE to pay for something that ought to be FREE! Not to mention that if they charge my credit card the $2.95, it costs about that much to place a charge with the card anyway, so the total would be around $5.00 for reading an obituary of a dearly departed friend of mine, when it should be absolutely free and public (since it’s a public record) anyway. So, if anyone finds Matthew Mark Baker Herzog’s obituary, I would greatly appreciate it, and you would be putting 6 years worth of uncertainty behind me, and help me start to heal my inability to have some closure, seeing that I not only wasn’t allowed to view my friend being placed to rest at his funeral, but also never being able to read anything that was said about him in his final eulogy. He died in Houston, Texas on October 14th of 2004, he was 18 year old, and was killed by off-duty, uninformed police officers, whom he was involved in a lawsuit with, and they had been harassing him for years, ticketing him, etc.. until they finally got what they wanted, which was his death. They harassed him so badly, it started driving him crazy, making him extremely paranoid and emotionally unstable (which is exactly where I think they wanted him to be, mentally) so they could catch him in a snare (that they made) in order to cost him something as precious as his own life. And yes, they sure did, shoot him dead, after years of harassment, lawsuits, and cops following him everywhere he went (which was an everyday occurrence, and many of the times, I was with him, witnessing this crap taking place) to make his short life miserable, and they did that admirably.

So what’s your question?

Was it even worth writing all this for $2.95?

Please Help Us!!!!!!!!!?

My husband and I have been married for 10 Wonderful Years! I would not give him up for anything. He grew up in Upper Class Catholic Orphanages – is Bi-Racial – Was Never Adopted. He has Never seen a member of his family or knows them. He was given a ‘letter’ from the NYC Catholic Diosese of New York to get his ID and Social Security #. He has a major degree from the University of Arkansas and had his own Construction Buisiness that was Highly Sucessfull in Texas. We know his mothers name – which is our last name and his father – who is dead June 1994! The Catholic Disosese Refuses to let him know anything! He has no Crimanal Record of any kind. He is the my best friend and the finest person I have ever met! We have gone to Attorney’s, National Archives (Where I found his father’s record of death). He just wants to know where he came from. When he got on Social Security Disability Nothing was required.
Take Care and Thank You
God Bless!

Hope he find answers he is looking for, if only to satisfy his pain at being abandoned. It’s a terrible burden he’s carrying.

Can’t figure out if someone is really dead, please read this and help?

Ok, so back in September, a VERY close pen pal of mine from myspace supposedly passed away at 22 years old, from cancer. His name was Gabriel. The thing is, NOTHING adds up! He lived in Virginia, I live in Maryland, roughly 1 hour away from one another.

This is why nothing adds up. While we were talking for the first 2 months or so, he seemed perfectly fine. We talked pretty much every single day. Then, he suddenly tells me that he’s very sick, like out of the blue, and tells me he has cancer, and that’s he’s on some kind of chemo pills or something like that.

Also, Gabriel never gave me his home address, just the location of a nearby "wawa" that was near his house. His friend Brian, also won’t give me his address. Gabriel both lived near the same area. Gabe lived in Woodbridge VA, Brian lived in Stafford VA. I believe they’re right next to one another.

A few weeks after I found this out, he ended up in the hospital. But he wouldn’t tell me which hospital because he knew I’d try to pay him a visit but he didn’t want me to see him supposedly because "he didn’t want me to see him in that condition."

Then I wanted to send him a get well soon gift, just a CD. So at first he said send it to his mom who will take it to him at the hospital, but then changed his mind and had me send the CD to his best friend Brian’s house for him to take to Gabe. (Brian, who I still keep in touch with, but never met).

This confuses me because after Gabriel passed away, I soon found out from Brian that Gabriel was supposedly at a hospital in Oklahoma which specialized in cancer. Are you trying to tell me that there was NO hospital closer than Oklahoma that specialized in cancer patients!? Gabriel had testicular cancer, however deadly that may be, I don’t know.

I only know of his death because Gabriel made Brian relay all this information to me. I didn’t find out he passed away until like 3 days after it happened. But, the morning I found out at like 4 am was also the same morning that would be Gabriel’s viewing. Brian said he would get back to me in a few hours to let me know where it was so I could be there, but never called supposedly because his mother didn’t know me so she didn’t want me there. Yet, there was supposedly about 120 people at his funeral!

Then he was supposedly cremated! No grave site for me to visit.

I’ve tried looking for death records of him online, for the past 4 months, and still can’t find ANYTHING about a death of a Paxton (his last name) in the Virginia area.

So I’ve been doing research since then. I’ve messaged just about EVERYONE on Gabriel’s myspace friends list, those who lived in Virginia anyway, and everyone said just about the same thing when I asked if they had ever met him, and they said "No, we talked online before, and planned to meet, but never did." He had about 26 people on his myspace. The ONLY person on his myspace that knew him was Brian. How is that not suspicious!?

So I wanted to meet Brian, because it would be comforting for me to be around someone who was also close to Gabriel since it’s harder to lean on my friends shoulders for support when they didn’t even know who he was. But, Brian won’t let me meet him, supposedly because "it’s too hard on him", yet it’s 4 months later! He also uses the excuse that he’s never home because of his job and is always on the road, yet there’s always a few points in time where he is home. And for someone who talks to me almost everyday for 4 months, it’s weird that he doesn’t want me to meet him.

I’m really starting to think that Gabriel and Brian might be the same person, but what do you all think? Please let me know! This is a huge mystery in my life and it’s really bothering me, so please give me some opinions. Thanks!
He also lived on his own. AND, his cell kept ringing for WEEKS after he passed away. I kept calling in hopes a loved one would answer, but nobody ever did, How can a phone last that long, even on standby!? And it was an iPhone at that and I hear the battery doesn’t last THAT long on those. After about a month or a month 1/2, his phone did get turned off.

I don’t think he didn’t wanna talk to me anymore, because he was usually the one who would always text ME everyday.

I don’t know but joking about cancer isn’t cool… People can die from it suddenly…

I hope your friend didn’t die, but if he was joking with it that is pretty sick..

I need help, so confused about something. Good answer for 10 pts.?

Alright, so this guy and I started talking on myspace. (He’ve been talking almost non-stop for like 3-4 months) Usually I don’t wanna meet people from myspace but this guy and I talked like every single day for a loooong time. I’m 20, btw, and he was 22.

Well finally we decided that we wanted to meet. One day he said he wanted to pick me up and take me to six flags so we could spend a day together. (I’m having some money issues right now) But I told him no because I didn’t want him to have to spend all that money on me. But we were planning on a weekend that we could get together and hang out once I saved enough money so we could go out out to eat and have a good time. He lived in Virginia btw, I live in Maryland, but only about an hour away.

Well THEN he tells me that he was really sick with cancer. He didn’t go into much detail with it, but he said he was taking like some kind of pills to fight the cancer, I think radiation pills? I don’t know, I’m not the brightest crayon in the box so don’t take my word for it.

Next thing I know, he’s in the hospital. Won’t tell me where cause he said he didn’t want me to come visit him (cause of the way he looked I guess) or send him stuff.

Then about 20 days later he passed away, sadly. September 23rd. I found out from his best friend Brian. The thing is, there’s NO records of this guy anywhere, it’s almost like he didn’t exist and I feel HORRIBLE thinking this way because it feels like I’m degrading his name by saying he didn’t exist. Bit it does seem like he either wasn’t a real person or he’s also his friend Brian, if that makes sense, like 2 in the same. I look him up on google, nothing, I keep calling his phone and it keeps ringing. It’s been Over 10 days now! Wouldn’t his phone be dead by now, or SOMEONE had picked up? Then I asked his friend Brian to tell me where the viewing/funeral was and he said his mom said she didn’t want me there cause she didn’t know me and it didn’t seem appropriate, yet there were about 120 people supposedly at his funeral!? Then I asked his friend where he was buried and he said he was cremated and that his ashes would be spread in Hawaii since that was his favorite place. And when I talk to Brian online, they seem so much a like, like they have the sane humor and what not…it still feels like the guy I came to know on myspace, even though there are still some differences. And so I asked Brian to send me one of those cards that you get from funerals and he said he couldn’t cause the mom had "brochures" made but he’s send me one of those instead. Then I asked Brian to give me his friends mothers address so I could send her some flowers and a letter, but he said she said that when he asked her for the address she said he already knew where she lived and that’s all that he needed to know, and hung up on him.

She’s kinda bitter with him right now because the guy I was talking to on myspace left EVERYTHING that belonged to him to Brian…for whatever reason. His death hasn’t even been logged in the death records yet, or whatever they’re called. I’m so confused and it’s scaring me! And then all of his friend on myspace (I started asking around trying to get more info about what happened) and it seemed like nobody even really knew him. Some people said they had talked to him before but has never actually met. That’s just weird to me seeing as how 120 people were supposedly at this funeral that I couldn’t even go to. And he was a homeowner of a very beautiful newly built house…yet he wasn’t listed in the white pages at all as a homeowner.

So I’ve come to the conclusion that…
1.) Him and his friend Brian are playing a VERY cruel joke on me.
2.) Brian and this guy are one in the same…for whatever creepy reason.
3.) This guy never existed…although that wouldn’t make much sense to me seeing as how we talked for MONTHS priot to him passing away.
4.) He was real and I’m just in denial and a jerk for thinking he didn’t exist.

But all these weird clues don’t add up! What do you think? Does something sound fishy here? I hope I’m not the only one who thinks so. What do you think? Sorry about the long rant.

sounds like they are the same person.

Long question, could his death be a joke? :(?

Sorry for all the reading, but I had to get it all out there.
And now just the other day I told Brian that I wanted him to take a picture of himself pointing to his nose with his middle finger and sticking his tongue out, so that I would be sure that the person in the pictures I’ve seen really is Brian and not some random picture stolen from someones myspace.

And he refused to do such a request, and said that if I didn’t trust him maybe he shouldn’t be talking to me.

Well this story does sound very suspicious, even though sometimes cancer can make some people get very sick in a very short period of time , and some people do leave the state for better cancer treatment there is nothing special about the cancer centers in Oklahoma. They are no Saint Jude or John Hopkins. It sounds like he really has something to hide. Gabriel and Brian are probably the same person. Gabriel may not be his real name either, there is business in VA called Gabriel and Paxton. I would be more suspicious of the ‘two’. Its probably some scam or someone who is bored with their life
