Dear Walsh family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I want you to know what a true pleasure Matt was to be around. Incredibly kind, loving, respectful, and talented. His winning an "all-star cast" award at festival for a part he wrote himself, was the highlight of my career at Brockton. Your family and Matt are in my prayers.

matt a.k.a. Jillian ;)

i will always smile when thinking of you and all the things you said and did. You were the most wonderful person i've ever met in every way imaginable.

Gus and I will never forget how honored you were to be a part of our wedding. No one was as enthusiastic as you were. You were not only a wonderful friend to dan. You were also a wonderful friend to both gus and I.

There are no words to possibly express how much you will be missed by by all of us. All i can say is that I love you and always felt like you were my 3rd little brother( the sweet one) and that I get a warm wonderful feeling whenever i think of you.
I love you always,
Amanda a.k.a Kenneth

Dear Matt, we will miss you and always love you! You were the friendliest, politest and lovable person I have ever met. We always said if we had a son we would want him to be just like you!

We will miss the movie nights and our talks! If we have them again, we will think of you, Matt! We’ll have a drink for you.
I’m gonna miss calling you my boyfriend at all the parties. I'll miss you calling me Auntie Susan.

To your parents Cheryl and Joe, You had the Best son in the world!
I'm so sorry you were only blessed with Matt's presence for 20 years but you were so luck to have him in your lives!
