Not sure what to say?

When I wrote what I did about Matt, I was in shock to find out he had left. So, it was hard to know what to say. As soon as we had met, I sensed we were part of the same Soul family. He didn´t simply radiate Light, the Soul he was was pure Light. He knocked my socks off. I am crying as I write this. Matt was one of those rare people who when you meet him, he touches you in very deep places and the impact of his imprint remains permanently. He is greatly appreciated, loved and missed.

I knew Matt many years ago when I still lived in Portland. He was one of the sweetest and kindest people I had ever met. Extremely funny and intelligent. A deeply caring Soul. I am saddened to hear of his passing but glad to know he´s in a better place now.

Matthew, wow, seven years have gone by since you released your spirit to the vastness of the universe, in God´s hands... not a day goes by that I don´t ponder a memory of you (M) of Mom (L)(Lois), of Angelo (A) the three most important people of my lifetime, my L.A.M. You all gave me the strength to pursue my dreams and loved me no matter what, when I fell and even when I failed you, you never stopped loving me...I love you forever and you are forever in my heart and soul... blessings and...

Many fond memories of working with Matt at Port City. He had such a great sense of humor, I can hear him chuckling as if it were yesterday. He so loved and admired brother Geoff. His eyes would light up whenever he stopped by to share lunch and conversation. Loving thoughts to all of Matt's family.

I love you matthew

I cared for Matthew for three years, those three years were the best three years I've had in a long time. Matthew was not just any average man...he was so much more! Matthew was so happy and caring every single day. I would come to work and he would always say hi Justie how are you? how's your daughter doing? He was always worried about everyone else and how they were doing. Matthew was one of the best men I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and he will always have a special place in my...

I am honored to have had the opportunity to know Matt and bear witness to the loving community of people he drew to him. My memories of Matt will always be inextricable from his laughter and sweetness, generous sense of joy and humor. Matt has inspired me with his delight in the world and his unwavering work ethic and I count myself one of the lucky many who has been touched by his life. Much love to Geoff and Randy for helping me stay connected through the years.

Thank you to all for taking a moment to remember Matt and share your thoughtsAs Dr. Seuss would say, sort of"Don't cry because Matt is gone, Smile because he was here" All the good that is in me as a man and human being, I owe to my brother Matt! I love you forever my little brother!
Geoff

So sorry to read about Matt's passing. I will always remember what a sweet kid he was, and how much his brother Geoff cared about and protected him. God has a clever new Angel. RIP Matt, and Geoff and family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
