Is this the Matt Colson who lived in St.Cloud,Florida from 1999-2001? Owned a white pickup truck and had a female cat named Frankie? I think he had a brother..it was over ten years that I last saw him? If so my sympathy goes out to his family. Vaness a friend of Darren Crawford

I graduated with Matt, and i will never forget his goofy laugh and crazy things we've done together. He threatend to kick my but if i ever hurt his sister, and the next day treated me like his best friend. He looked after his family more than they might know. Matt was famous for his Mocho Man inpersonation, O' Yeah will never sound the same. Love and Prayers to all the family.

I went to high schoolwith Matt and played sports with him. He was one of my best friends. All I can think about how he was always laughing and having a good time. There are many people here in Ohio that will miss him . To all of Matts family I send my regrets. His # was 9 in sports and every time I see that # Matt comes to mind. He will live in my memories as well as all those he touched.

Matt,
Your heart is one of an angel to all those who know and love you. My memories of you and the happy times you spent with my family are forever engraved on my heart. When I think of you, I know you'd want us to be happy as you always tried to be. I will keep Sheryl smiling, as I have always promised you.
My heart is with you always,
Vanessa.
To Diane and family: Matty was the greatest gift a mother, father, sister, or brother could have ever been given. His memories and spirit will always be with you even though he's no longer among us. My family's prayers are with you always.
Love,
Vanessa,Willie, Shakira, & Shakora.

Life is unfair at times. And We'll never know why... Matty, I never imagined you'd be taken away like this. You are truly are a God sent. Now, he has you back. You are in my thoughts every day Matty. You'll be missed my dear.

Our deepest sympathy, we were so saddened by Matt's passing. He was such a wonderful and beautiful person. We kept remembering the time when he visited here last and the great time he had at the flea market in Santa Fe. Remember the good times and the happy memories to get you through the sad days.
Love you, your New Mexico Family, Tony, Dolores, Anna, Tom, Lorenzo, Shane, Annette, Charles, Jesse and new baby.

To the entire Colson family
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I graduated high school with Matt and have been able to get a few visits in with him in the last 13 years. I can remember the first time he saw snow and the time he got a rubber band stuck on his nose. Matt made every one around him smile. Matt, you will always be in our hearts.

I am Matt's stepmother and on behalf of his other siblings, Brian, Alicia and Brad, I want to say how much we will miss Matt. Even though their father, Steve Colson, passed away almost 2 years ago, Matt never let them forget that they had an older brother. We kept in touch through phone calls and visits to Florida. We will always love and miss Matt and find some comfort in knowing that Steve and Matt are together again.

To the family of Matthew Colson
i know that this is a hard time for you, but the bible gives us some encouraging words at Revelation 21:4:"and he will wipe out every tear from thier's eye and Death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore the former things will have passed away." I hope I have at least bought justa little bit of comfort in this sad time.
sincerly

I've known Matt for quite a few years now. He was one of the most genuinely nice guys I've ever met who would go out of his way for anyone (including strangers - I know, I've seen it personally myself). Matt was always smiling and laughing and had the uncanny ability of making it contagious to the people around him. His job on earth is done and he will be dearly missed by all.

Wow, I really do not know where to begin? Matt was a very caring and loving person who would give the shirt off his back if needed. I had the opportunity to grow up with Matt as a child and we became closer as we grew into adults. I have many memories I will cherish forever and put in a place in my heart. I will never forget you.
My thoughts and prayers are with Todd, Stephanie and family.
Matt, say "hi" to "Mrs. T" for me!

I am the mother of Sheryl Renninger. I met Matt this summer while visiting Orlando and was very impressed by him. He was a very kind man and made friends with my daughter and then my son, who recently moved to Orlando. I am so sorry for your loss. Sheryl's extended family will be thinking of you. Paula McCormack
