Matthew Brew Bartley

He was our class valedictorian. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it was him who would speak to us. I remember the more serious side of him. may he rest in peace. You have an angel with you always.

Brendan and family, our sincere sympathies to you and your family - we remember the great days of Lake Villa, staying out until the street lights came on! You are all in our thoughts and prayers - contact me if you want to: [email protected]

matt's family and friends,

tearful prayers and condolences to you all.
he was golden,he was admired, and most of all, he was loved.
he made us all stand a little taller.
named a son with him in mind.

"To-day the road all runners come,
Shoulder high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town"

To the Bartley Family:

Although I hadn't seen Matt in many years, I have often thought of him. I have many fond memories of growing up with him, going through twelve years of school with him, hanging out with him. He was a very special person to me all those years ago, and I never forgot him.

My deepest sympathies to all of you.

Mrs. Bartley, Moira, Brigid, Kieran, Garret and Brendan, you all have a special place in my heart and when looking back at childhood, memories of your whole family and the fun we had is my greatest memory. May your memories of Matthew bring you comfort and you are in our thoughts, we love you. Marylynn(Hancock)& Bob Harkinson

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I am so so sorry to hear about Matt's passing. I knew him during his Paul VI days, and got to know him more through our mutual friend, Ken Kaleta.
Everytime I think of him I think, "Brilliant". And he was.
God help his family through this.

I was very saddened to hear of Matt's passing. I will keep everyone in my prayers.

I was taken aback and so saddened to learn of your loss. Matt and the Bartley family were a big part of childhood memories from Lake Villa. May you find comfort in knowing that many prayers are with you during this difficult time.
