Tracy my heart breaks reading about Matty. I have such fond memories of him as a sweet young boy who loved to play army man and sleep over at our house. I can remember when the Halloween picture was taken and how much fun he was having. I remember him most for his precious smile, big hugs and how much he loved his mom.
You are in our prayers,
Steve, Kelly, Patrick, Nathan & Ryan

It pains me to know that tomorrow would be your 26th birthday. When we worked together at Quest, we celebrated our birthdays together because they're mere days apart. I know that you are smiling down upon us, Matty, and raising your glass in a toast to us, your friends and family, because that's just how you ARE. You celebrate everyone else. You are loved, you are missed, and you are here, with us all. Now, and for always.
Happy Birthday, Matty...

Mateo,
I'm am shocked and saddened to hear the news today. I don't want to believe it's true. You were one of my best friends and will never be forgotten. We shared a lot of good times, jokes, and stories that I will cherish forever. You were a stand-up and honorable person which is a rarity in todays society. You were loved by many... and will be truly missed.
You and your entire family are in my prayers.
I will always love you,

Matthew was not only a beautiful person on the outside, he was beautiful on the inside. Matt could always light up a room with his big smile. I will miss you. I am thankful to your mom and dad for giving our families a beautiful boy who grew up to be a beautiful man.

Words are horrible incapable of communicating how Matt infected everyone he met with goodness. You wanted to be around him. You wanted to be with him because he made you feel better about things. Matt was one of the funniest people I have ever known and his spirit and good nature touched everyone. His chili dog eating contest with Travis and dressing up as Dr Cronforth for haloween (complete with a mask!) come to mind.
I miss Matt. He was too damn young and full of life to leave so soon. Words are inadequate. Words suck. Farewell for now, Matty.

I only got to actually meet Mat one time but I feel like I have known him for a life time. Its a funny thing about being a tattoo artist cause people are complete strangers to start with, but after the tattoo they are a part I am a part of their life forever. Mat you will be with me forever and even though you no longer walk in this world I hope that the angles in heaven see your tattoo and say that was is truly something.....lol. I will never remove your tattoo from my portfolio, you will always be there, with me and for all the world to see. Thank you for bringing me into your life and giving me that connection with your family that will never be broken.

Until We Meet Again
by Unknown
Each morning when we awake
we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
and many tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you,
your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache,
and often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.
If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.
We hold you close within our hearts,
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.
Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing will be the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
Joseph,brad, matt, and andrew

My Dear Brother-In-Law...
I will never forget the last time I saw you and the hug and words we shared as I could not stop crying...
I will always remember and truly admire you for your amazing strength and the mosy powerful love I was ever privelged to witness myself between you and my beautiful baby Sister and my adorable Nephew... Your Wife and son.
It took my Sister too long to finaly find her "Prince Charming" but there you were. I have never seen my Sister so completely "complete" with you. You were what she was always waiting for and I only wish you both would have had just more time together because what the two of you shared was "BEAUTIFUL".
My heart and prayers go out to the rest of your family and friends but most of all to your Wife and Son... My little Sister and Nephew Carson. I know you are looking down on them in peace and the love you two have will live on inside all of our hearts forever. You definitely did not leave this world without leaving your mark on anyone that knew yous hearts.
You will forever be remembered and greatly missed by all...
I will do as you told me the last time I saw you Halloween night... "Stay strong for your sister Mandy... Don't let her see you cry". I pray for er strength and hope one day that she gets what she is dieing inside for right now... To meet you again one day in Heaven and be wrapped in your loving arms. Because... That is where she was and will always be happiest.
I will never forget you or the joy you brought to our entire families lives... You are an amazing Man and my Sister will always keep you were you belong... In her heart. You two were soulmates and I am just so happy the two of you "had" each other for as long as you could. You both still do and forever will.
"I love you my Brother"... And will hopefully see you again one day smiling holding my Sister so completely in love.
You will never be forgotten and forever missed. And I will be there for her just as you told me.
All my love and respect... Your Sister In Law,
Mandy

When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.
I love you with all my heart Amber. Today,Tomorrow & Forever unconditionally.

Matt,
Well it has been over 10 years since I started @ SCOI, just a few weeks ago I found a pic of you and I in my old little office :) When you and Brad would come by the office to see mom, you would always make sure to come by and say HELLO. I will cherish that picture of you and I with our BIG SMILES forever. You will be truly missed!
Tracy, my prayers are with you and your family! Mel :)

Matt, you were such a wonderful man, and you will be greatly missed. I want to thank you for the love you gave my cousin. She deserved nothing more than to be loved the way you loved her. And I promise you, she loved you just as much. Never did I see her so happy as she was the past 3 years she spent with you. For that, I will be eternally grateful. My thoughts and prayers go out to Matt's family. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Matt was such an awesome man, and I feel so lucky to have been able to know him. We'll all miss you so much Matt...I'll see you someday again somewhere over the rainbow...

You came into our lives with such spark, igniting smiles, setting off laughter, and ensuring that someone, somewhere, would have a better day, simply because YOU were in it. You touched so many different people with your caring ways, and young, yet profound wisdom. You never asked for anything other than a smile in return for all that you did, and I for one, am thankful that I got to share so many of those smiles with you. I am so blessed to have been able to work with you, laugh with you, and learn about the world through your youthful eyes. You will forever be missed, Mateo, but never forgotten. May you shine brightly in the night sky, looking down on those who loved you... And always keep the angels in Heaven smiling, as you did us here, on Earth.
God bless your family...

Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.
Mateo..I am so honored to have been your friend. I will forever cherish all the laughs we had. Thank you for being a friend. I'll never forget you. It's not good bye, but see you later. Praise the Lord, you are now pain free. God has taken his angel from us. But has left such amazing memories for so many. Thank you!! Love you Mateo.....Maribel

Mateo, Well where do I start.... I am very blessed to say I had you as my friend. You brought great laughter and love to my life. You were an amazing person with lots of love and happiness. Quest will never be the same without you. I will never get those phone calls from you saying can you do me a favor and fire her... lol I know you fought this cancer as hard as you could, cause you are a fighter and never gave up on anything. I will never forget the issues you helped me get through. My son will never forget the first day you came over and showed him beerpong, that is his way of remember you along with other things... I cant begin to tell you how much I miss you and the hurt that is inside me because you are no longer here. I promise to carry you in my heart, thoughts and prayers until we meet again. I also promise to continue to visit your mom and make sure she is doing ok, she is amazing as you already know. I love you very much and miss you the whole wide world Mclovin... Spread your wings and fly babyboy...... xoxoxo

Matt,
Where do I start? I could never have imagined this happening. I sit at work and still wait for you to come walking through IVR to come say Hi and give one of your back rubs. Quest will never be the same without your smile, your laugh, your movie quotes, your encouraging words to cheer up someone who may be having a bad day! I have so many memories of good times spent with you! I will cling to them forever! Thank you for the talks that we had and always being willing to listen. Oh how I miss you and my heart breaks every time I think of you! I am blessed to have had you in my life. I miss you terribly but find comfort knowing you are in the arms of Jesus and one day I will see you again. I'll never EVER forget you!
"From one MFer to another"

Matt,
its hard to find the words to tell you how much i love you, and you ment to me.
You were the best cousin i could ask for, you were like another brother to me. I have lived with you multiple times in my life, and it always came with amazing memories.
You were the only person who ever got me to watch the history channel, you got up at 5am christmas morning when you didn't want to. You tought me so much...my favorite memory with you is sitting at Magoos sharing a cheese pizza and talking for a good 3 hours, we talked about stuff I never thought we would never talk about. I miss you so much, and it kills me to know we can't do that anymore..i miss just walking upstairs and having my room right next to yours, or just walking into my garage and you just chillin there. I can talk about the good times I've had with you for hours, and I know it wont bring you back, but just know, i will see you one day, and we will sit and talk for a good three hours about everything possible. Matt you are an amazing person who always managed to make me smile, and i will never forget you. I love you so so so much, and I have felt you in my heart from the day you left, I know you are always watching over me and I can hear you tell me something every time I need it, you are truely missed. I love you so much cousin Matt
Love your baby cousin Avery<3

To: The love of my life
Matt,
We sat by and watched you fight the fight of your life and I have never been so proud or amazed by someones strenght. This doesn't seem real to me, tears will not stop. Carson and I just sit here and stare at your pictures laughing , crying, but mostly missing the piece of our life that made us a family. The day we got married was the most beautiful breathtaking priceless day of my life. At that moment i truly felt my heart beat. I feel like my heart left with you that night. All the stolen kisses, the most beautiful acts of love and devotion shown by you made me the luckiest girl in the world. I saw for the first time in Carson's life he felt that he had the best most amazing dad in the whole world, Thank you for loving him everyday just the way I do. You promised me that you would take me with you wherever you go and wait until we would be together again in our "love story". We blow kisses to the heavens above and talk to you at night when we pray and I can't wait for the day I get to feel you hold me again and hear you say "I love you baby". You are the strongest most amazing man I have ever had the privlage of knowing yet alone loving. You and me were soulmates, best friends, husband and wife, parents...you were definately my better half. Until the day I see your beautiful face please watch over us all, I hope me and Carson make you proud and I am comforted by knowing that you do not hurt anymore and that most precious sweet smile is back on your face.
"I carry your heat, I carry it in my heart"...
Your wife Amber and the little boy who I hope one days turns out just like you...Carson Paul ( I love you Map Dad)...
Until we meet again I will see you in my dreams and only until that day will my heart beat again...I love you sweetheart.

Matty, I never thought this day would come, you are so special to me. I remember when you were little and I would pick you up at school and you would come running with your lunchbox in one hand and your schoolwork in the other, grinning from ear to ear that school was done for the day. We laughed so hard when you told us you wanted to be an ice cream man when you grew up so you could eat all the ice cream you wanted. I laugh when I think about the ghostbuster outfits that you and Brad used to play in when you were trying to "catch ghosts" and your high school graduation was a very proud moment for all of us especially when you walked by and smiled that big smile. Then when you worked next door at Quest I would drive by and see your car there just knowing you were so close by made me smile and even happier when you would just walk over and give me a hug. The times I've spent watching you grow up is some of the happiest times of my life. You have turned into a strong, confident, handsome man with a heart of gold. My world will never be the same without you and it breaks my heart to even think of it. I know I will see you again & I love you more.......... Aunt Julie

I have known Matt for most of my life and he was not only a good friend, but like a brother to me from the moment we met. We have not been as close with the passing years, but I always knew that I could call him or go see him and we would pick up just where we left off. There are not many of my childhood memories that he isn't a part of. Tracy probably thought that I was another one of her kids with how much time I spent over at her house when we were young. Matt will forever be a part of my memories and will be greatly missed, but I know that he has gone on to a better place.

Matt...i dont even know where to begin, from the day i met you, my first day in MRI at quest, i knew having you in my life was going to be an interesting experience and boy was i right. there was never a dull moment, wether it was you and trav with the movie quotes or you being SOOO angry at me because i was singing the spice girls song..."tell me what ya want." it didn't matter what was going on you were always the one who knew how to make me smile at the end of the day with your kind words and advice ! i miss you so much each and every single day but i know how lucky i am to have had the chance to have you in my life. your one of the strongest people i know! matt i love you so much!

I will miss knowing you are here on earth but rejoice knowing you are with our father. Love Davia

A note to Matt: Thank you Matt. For always bringing a smile to our faces with your presence alone. For instilling your integrity, manners and guidance to my grandson (Carson), for teaching him the differences between right and wrong, to speak to mommy with kindness and respect, to practice his math, for teaching him how to skateboard and to always be respectful to girls. Matt, thank you for being the amazing "Map" and Daddy to Carson.. and most of all, thank you for loving my daughter (Amber) with all of your heart, for always standing by her side and being so proud to call her your wife...for making her laugh as she has never laughed before, for always seeming to "pull off" some of the most random and romantic acts of love to her when she'd least expect...you were and will always be a constant solid source of love, guidance, support and the link to her and to Carson making the three of you your own little family. You loved and were loved as much as I have ever witnessed...for this and so much more, I thank you and extend my heart felt appreciation to your mother for raising such an incredible young man. Your amazing spirit will be with all of us forever. I was proud to be called your "Mother-in-law and Jack Girl". Our lives were richly blessed because of you...Love, Dyna

I am proud to say that Matt was my friend. From the moment I met him it was love........ he had a way about him that would melt your heart! This guy had a "HEART of a LION" and he fought harder than anyone I have ever known, He fought because he loved life! I don't know if I have ever known anyone so young to touch so many lives...... He touched mine and I will never forget him and the times we shared. Matthew: Gift of God...... I love you and thank you for excepting me into your circle of "friends and loved ones" it means the world to me! I love the Fernandes / Hernandez family with all of my heart! God Bless you and You have a new family member....me
