Still so saddened y the loss of this bright, bright light. I knew him as an overweight little guy, an enthusiastic soul, much loved by his father and mother, and older brother and sister ...

My deepest condolences on the loss of Matthew. We were in a show together thirty five years ago. I met my husband in that show so it has always been a special memory for me. I remember being impressed with Matt's abundance of energy and his bright spirit, always focused in making each theatrical moment count. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to be on stage with him.

I only caught the beginning and the end of Matthew's story, but his talent, charm, and intelligence always captured my attention, even when they were not so obvious.
My heartfelt wishes for peace and comfort go always to his patiently loving family, especially Mrs. Gibson.
Sincerely,
Heather

My deepest condolences for your loss. I only knew Matt through his onstage performances which were always a delight. I have a special memory of his role as Skye Masterson in Guys and Dolls. Fabulous! May your brightest memories bring each of you moments of comfort, smiles, and laughter amid the heartbreak and tears.
