Matthew Bak Dufort

I worked with Matt as a inspector for Rise Engineering. Matt and I shared stories about attending Catholic grade School. He was a good friend on the job and helpful in all ways.

I had the privilege of knowing you for a short time and you were a kind man who was full of life and understanding. I'm deeply sorry to hear of your passing. My condolences to your entire family.

I met Matty, many years ago, at a Todd Rundgren concert in Portland, MA. I had travelled from NB, Canada and he from Ludlow, MA. We immediately connected and became fast friends, despite the distance between us. Matty was such an engaging man, so open, warm and kind. He was quite literate and he had such a great sense of humour - I truly enjoyed that about him and I will sorely miss our texting, phone calls and visits. He was also a very humble man who always showed concern for others....

RIP Matty

Matt would light up the room with his presence. It was always a good day when we got to see that smile. Gone way to soon.

I only met Matt a few times-when I shadowed him as part of my work training- but he left an impression on me. He was genuinely kind and positive and helpful. He wanted to share his knowledge and support colleagues so we could all improve. I was surprised and saddened to hear this news and I wanted to share my sincere condolences with his family and loved ones.

Condolences from Matt's old friend and former next door neighbor on Ellsworth Drive in Bloomfield Paul Stowe, living in Germany since 1985. We played in our first band in 5th and 6th grade together, and those beginnings inspired me to become a musician. I have many happy memories of our childhood, running through the woods, playing baseball in our side yard, sleeping out in the backyard and pool hopping, listening to the newest albums together and jamming on our guitars. I lost my father...

I am just hearing about this today as I am not on FB as much. I met Matt a few years back at a pre Todd show meet up. He was a great guy and we had become fb friends for the past few years. I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing. My prayers go out to his family.

sending our love and hugs to Matt´s family. We hope with each passing day the sun shines a little brighter. Rock on Matt mark & jen
