Matthew A. Dahl

I have mulled over my thoughts on what to say for almost two months now.
You were one of my best friends, someone I spent a good portion of my time with. You and Lizzie are my favorite people forever and always. I still find myself wanting to send you Garfield stuff for Lizzie.
I hope one day we cross paths again and that everything will be okay.
I still need to read the book you gave me, I’ll let you know my thoughts.

God bless you and your family in this incredibly difficult time.

Matt was one of a kind. His passion for the world was infectious and palpable in everything he did. He took on the world with a steadfast spirit and a willingness to learn and get his hands dirty. I had the opportunity to work with him, where he showed his hardworking and creative spirit. Matt was the best at seeing the world from a new perspective, and always provided a quip, or an ear, or a new solution to old, stubborn problems. The world is quieter in all the worse ways without him here....

I’ve been at a loss for words. Matt and I met working together at Addison some years ago with many adventures (as seen towing golf carts). When I moved on from the park we spoke everyday. Without fail. We met up for lunch, got coffee at Shaded Bloom, went on walks, browsed Barnes & Noble, got ice cream, went to the antique store (Matt found an iron frog and if you know him he loved his iron garden frogs), kayaked, and we were recently going to yoga (sometimes with froyo) weekly. I miss him...

We are remembering times with Matt and the irreplaceable impact he had in our family. For that, we will forever be grateful

I was fortunate to meet Matthew on the pickleball courts. He was a very gifted individual who loved music. He was very fortunate to meet the woman who also enjoyed his passion. Remember those special moments when he made you smile or laugh.
