Matthew George Ballard

I continue to lift Matt's wife Julia up in prayer. Can't imagine the pain from such a tragedy. My heart continues to hurt for you Julia.

I send you all love, light and prayers for comfort and peace during these difficult times.

I worked with Matt for over 19 years at Knapheide, he was always there to lend a hand to anyone. He cherished his family and most of all Julia and his children. I still remember him saying how lucky he was to have her and what a better person she made him. My prayers, sympathy and condolences go out to all of the family. Matt will definitely always be remembered.

My heart, my soul - is in shock, and hurts for all of you. Such a very special guy he was. He loved you all so much. I just don't have any other words Stacie, except, I'm so deeply saddened, I'm sorry and I love you all.

We are so sorry for your loss! Thoughts and prayers to family, during this difficult time.
