Matt, was by far, the best guy i have ever met... he and i were recently 'dating' and i was going to ask him to be my boyfriend on his birthday, because i knew he liked me, and i liked him a lot... actaully i think i loved him.. he was so beautiful inside and out, and he showed me so many things... like the fact that i can be capable of loving again despite my past relationships... i fell in love with matt and i wish he were still here to this very day. i would be so happy... i miss him so...

I dated Matt last year, and after we broke up we stayed good friends. He became like a brother to me, and he is without a doubt the greatest friend I will EVER have in my life.

DOT-Thanks for all the great times! We've had a lot of fun together. You can be my guardian angel now, ok? I love you so so much, and I'll NEVER forget you. I'll see ya when I get there.

Matt was one of the sweetest guys I've ever known. I have many fond memories of him as a boy, from playing games to watching TV, and just goofing around. It was amazing to watch him grow into such a tall, attractive young man, and I am sorry I did not get to know that young man better.

My thoughts are with you, Dottavio family.
