KROX is extremely sad to report Matt Bishop (a former announcer) passed away today (December 29, 2020) after a lengthy bout with cancer, for a second time. Even though Matt was with us for a few years before the second bout of cancer forced him to move back home, he settled into Crookston and made a lot of friends. “He was liked by everyone and he loved Crookston, and he was always upbeat and positive. He was positive no matter what was going on in his life. He was an amazing person,” said KROX’s Chris Fee. “While we are saddened by the news of his passing, we KNOW he is in a better place and he isn’t suffering anymore. Matt was truly one of a kind and an all-around great guy. He was a fighter and stayed positive no matter what he was going through. He is an inspiration to all of us and he will be missed. Our sympathies to his wife Katie and the rest of his family. We look forward to celebrating Matt’s life in the spring!”
Matt’s mother, Cathy Bishop, posted online the following –
Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. James1:12
With heavy, broken hearts we said our physical goodbyes to Matthew this morning. He remained steadfast under trial, stood the test and now has received the crown of life! We find comfort and joy in that promise!
We would like to celebrate his life well so will most likely wait until later spring 2021 to do so.
Thank you for lifting our family up in prayer these past 7 years of his cancer/transplant journey. Every comment is read and appreciated.
In Christ,
The Bishop family
