My memories of my brother will be happy ones. Matt was a kind and caring person. His love for animals will be one of the things I remember most. I have given a donation to the Humane society in Matts name as this is something that would have made him smile. We love you Matt and will always keep you in our hearts.

Matt always thought of others and always had a prayer in his heart. A joke for the day and some words of wisdom for my dog Bailey who always got Matt to throw his ball. We are sorry to hear of his loss.
