Cleveland sports journalist and Outkick contributor Matt Leode has died after a two year battle with cancer. He was 46 years old.
Leode covered sports in Cleveland working mostly as a freelancer. In addition to writing, he made numerous appearances on FOX Sports Radio and on AP Radio. The Cleveland sports media community took to social media to say its goodbyes on Thursday.
Several of those colleagues participated in numerous fundraisers on his behalf. Matt Leode barely stopped working after his diagnosis according to the AP.
“He was funny, sweet, generous, loyal, faith filled and he had a talent for bringing people together. He made my life beautiful,” Leode’s wife Shanna wrote on Twitter after his passing.
