Matt was not only one of the kindest people I had the pleasure of working with, he was also among the brightest. I never failed to learn something when I worked with Matt and relished each opportunity. To Matt's family, you are in our prayers and our hearts.

Matt was an amazing manager, employee, friend, all around great guy. I have had the pleasure to work with Matt over the years and just recently this year at the chance to report to him. He had the experience and knowledge that the team and myself needed. He was always willing to take time out of his busy day to help and never once complained. Matt will be truly missed.
My condolences to his wife, daughter, family and friends.
