Dear Family and especially wife and children of Matt. I recently learned of Matt's passing. I am so sorry to hear about that. I knew Matt through Lauren Wells (from Robert Half), who helped plan Matt's Protiviti meetings when he came to Florida. He asked my company (SAK Comedy Lab) to simply work in to his agenda to provide a comedy show and some team lessons for his new managers. He was a big believer in his team at Protiviti and wanted them to have a great experience during their...

Deeply saddened to hear the news! I couldnt believe it, I red it twice before I accept it. I met Matt last year in Milan for a training program by Protiviti. He is very personable and the whole team loved him. He is a great trainer and always available for chats and to share his valuable insights. May his soul Rest In Peace. Please accept my deepest condolence. May God bless the family, friends and dear ones with His peace in this difficult time.

We are so shocked and saddened to hear of Matt's passing. We knew Matt when he was our swim coach at Miramonte Swim Club. He was the most genuine & enthusiastic coach we ever had. He was full of positive vibes...coached and mentored in a strong and loving way, was a great friend on & off the pool deck, and could be amazingly silly too!
We will never forget what an impact he made on our 3 sons lives...he truly was an inspiration to all.

I am so shocked and saddened by this news. I had the pleasure of attending one of Matts challenge schools in Milan. Matt had a genuine interest in helping people and went out of his way to make sure everyone at the challenge school was well looked after. Matt will be missed by the learning and development team and by wider protiviti community. My heartfelt condolences to Matts family during this difficult time.

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, and often speak your name. Now all I have are memories, and your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake; with which I will never part. God has you in his keeping, and I have you in my heart.
Your Friendship, Kindness will be missed. Protiviti's Global Learning & Development team speak of you often. Rest In Peace You Gentle Giant!
