Matthew Ian Cohen

My deepest thoughts and prayers are with your family. When I came to Edinboro, this was the first time away from my little town of Butler, PA.

You have alot of misconceptions when you first head off to college, let alone thinking you know what the word fraternity is about. Yet when we met Matthew, that blew away all we thought we knew about college, and about a fraternity called Phi Kappa Psi, all we thought we knew about friendship. Matthew would go on to define the word...

Matthew was a one of a kind individual, one that you always remember because of his curiosity, genuine friendship, ability to always stay positive through much that many people grumble about, both complex and simple, and he attcked mountains of adversity costantly. Honestly, the all around idea of what a friend is was always contained in Matt's persona. Having been the first time away from home at college, when I attended Edinboro University, I had many misconceptions of what it would be...

Matt was a thoughtful and kind person. My prayers are with his family.

I want to express my condolences to Matt's family. I worked with Matt in the Pittsburgh OPM office and saw him at times up here in Boyers. Matt was a very special individual; funny, kind and he dearly loved his family. He will definitely be missed.

I want to express our sadness and sympathy to Matt's family at his passing. I worked with Matt at OPM in the Pittsburgh office and will always remember him as one of the sweetest, funniest people I have ever worked with. Even though I had not worked with him for the past 12 years, I often talked about the funny things he would say that would make us all laugh, people in my new office knew him as if he had worked there. He always talked about the great love of his life, Tori, his daughter...

Matt was one of my dearest friends from Edinboro. He was funny, kind and one of a kind. He loved his family, his daughter Tori, his cats. But the things I remember most are his jokes & his love of Pez dispensers, Homer J Simpson and gourmet donuts. May your afterlife be full of what you loved most knowing the people you loved and left behind will always remember you in our hearts.

I met Matt in Edinboro when we both lived in Schaefer Hall. My best memories were of him telling me jokes, he always made me laugh. My condolences to Matt's family and especially his Daughter Tori who he adored and loved very much. RIP dear friend, you are missed.
