Not sure what to say?

I was one of Matt´s customers at Eisenhauer Flea Market. He was a very nice and friendly man who knew a great deal about records and music. Matt was nice and friendly to everyone there and was a dynamite source of positive energy to the Flea Market! I last spoke with him in September 2019, after he briefly returned to run his shop after undergoing his first surgery. I was very sorry to hear that he did not survive his second surgery. Mr. Aardwolf will not be forgotten

Matt was one of the nicest human beings I ever met. He was an honest, hardworking family man. He often talked glowingly about his wonderful wife Cassie and his kids, and he was always helpful and supportive in any situation to which he could lend a hand or offer advice. Of course, he loved music passionately, but most of all he loved to make people happy. He gave so much of himself to make the world a better place.

My condolences to all those who were touched by Matt. I knew Matt only because of my desire to start collecting records and all that is music. I would make the effort to catch him at his Eisenhauer location, never knowing the Windsor Park Mall site. Enjoyed taking up his time to obtain his insights on the industry and of the local music history, as I was certainly new and had a lot to learn. Without doubt, he loved his Family. As a Holy Cross Graduate and a life-long Marianist...

The world has lost one heck of a human being, a wonderful friend and confidant to everyone. Matt will forever be missed. A NOTE TO HIS CHILDREN. As a longtime customer, I recall the big smiles you and his grandchildren brought to Matt's face when he spoke of his family. You were his life. May these words bring you comfort and peace in this time of sorrow.

I've known Matt for about 20 years and him a joy to talk to. He had some very interesting stories to tell and was never boring. I sold him some of my albums and always gave me a fair price. I was always thankful for his honestly. He always had a great sense of humor. The last time I saw him was over a year ago. When I heard about his cancer, I wished I would have visited him more. I am truly going to miss him!

HI CASSIE, THIS IS JOHN AND RUBY PAIZ FROM CORPUS CHRISTI,TEXAS. WE HAVE KNOWN MATT FOR MANY YEARS. WE PREVIOUSLY OWNED A RECORD SHOP IN CORPUS CHRISTI. EVERY TIME WE WOULD VISIT SAN ANTONIO, WE HAD TO MAKE A STOP TO TALK TO MATT NO MATTER WHAT. I JUST FOUND OUT OF HIM PASSING AWAY WHICH I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE. WE WOULD ALWAYS TALK ABOUT OPENING A RECORD SHOP TOGETHER. WE WILL MISS HIM VERY GREATLY. HE WAS PART OF OUR LIVES FOR 19 YEARS. HE ALWAYS SPOKE OF YOU AND THE FAMILY...

Condolences to Fellow Veteran, (Friends) Family from the "Domingo Davila III Family" may you RIP my Good Friend!

I will miss that smile, that laugh. Matt made my weekends at the flea market bearable. He introduced me to my very best friend. He tried to get me to eat spicy Sea Monkeys! Matt welcomed my family and me into his family wholeheartedly, a family he truly cherished and for that I will remain grateful and forever blessed. To his loved ones, I can only offer words of condolence and a listening ear if ever you would like to talk and tell me more about him. May he rest in peace.

Cassie and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Ken and I both have fond memories of Matt. Please know that you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Heaven has a new angel.
