Andy Kurkjian, My heart broke when I read your loss. I know you and Matt both played CU Baseball. I pray for your family. Hope other aspects of your own life are going well. Peace, Kathy McCarthy McCreedy.

How could someone so important to me be so important to so many others. I knew Matt for over 40 years during which he always made time for me and made me feel special. He was a great, kind human being who made everyone he knew feel better about themselves. There´s a part of me that will always be sad because he´s not here any more.

I remember Matt from the ball field. He played for Mercury Van Lines, which my father owned, and was everything a young man should be. Competitive but the right way, got the most out of what God gave him, no question Tim and the rest of the family will miss him a great deal.

Matt was truly a special person. His personality was contagious as he was always cheery. He was very knowable in his job at ATU. I enjoyed him sharing stories of his trips to various locations. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Matt was one of the good guys. His kindness, friendly nature, and sense of humor were wonderful gifts he had. I´m going to miss him very much. If you were still here I would have one question for you. Got a key? Rest in peace my friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Matt and his family. He will be remembered by his ATU family for the many hours he spent in our history room at conventions taking time to answer any questions asked. His smile, kind and positive attitude was appreciated by those who knew him.

Uncle Matt was one of a kind. He will be dearly missed by everyone. If you knew Uncle Matt you knew never ending love, strength and happiness. He cared so deeply of everyone especially his family and extended family. I love you Uncle Matt and will miss you dearly. Praying for the days ahead. He will be watching over us all.

He always lead with kindness and joy. Greg and I will hold dear the times shared with Matt and the family. He fought so bravely - may he now find rest & renewal in the hands of our Lord. Rest in his peace Matt.

Matt's Ashburton round 2 friends are saddened to hear of his death. We loved the time we spent with him when he came back to Ashburton to work as a paraeducator. He brought kindness and understanding to the students, always a positive word to the staff and was a pleasure to be with. Many of us formed quick close bonds with him and he made an impact on all of us. What a man! My condolences to his beloved family. Marney Jacobs
