Matthew L. "Matt" Elder

Prayers to Matts wife and family. Matt definitely has touched many people over the years. He survived countless hours in the wheelchair van with my husband at River Rescue. I am sure he took the true story with him on how they drove it up on the hood of a Pinto. Many more memories, always a story when it involved Matt. Rest in Peace.

My condolences to Matt's family. I only knew him a short time,but I have alot to thank him for. Sharing his knowledge,plus he introduced my wife and I .

My condolences to Matt's family. I remember him from middle and high school. We recently reconnected on Facebook. He was a good man
