Not sure what to say?

Hello. I do not know Matthew nor his family, but I am deeply touched by what I learned from this obituary. I don't know why or how, but it resonated with me My prayers are with his family and friends. Blessings!

So sorry for your loss. Sending prayers for comfort and peace during this difficult time for you, Jacob and Walt.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Gripp at Kandahar in Afghanistan. His detachment was next to ours and I would often go next door after shift as a bit of cultural exchange. What a character! He was welcoming, funny and great to chat to. I would often hear a certain British greeting being shouted (including British accent) from the US detachment. (That'll be Gripp haha)

RIP Matt!! You always made me laugh in high school. Prayers to his sons and family. Rest easy!

I have several fond memories of Matt. I was stationed with him at Moody AFB. He was a very smart young man and full of life and always fun to be around. I had the pleasure to be his direct supervisor and he was always a good troop and made my job easier. Glad he is healed now in heaven. We will be praying for the family.
