I just read of Matthew's passing in the Saint Jude Newsletter. Pleasant memories of my time there and events with Mathew including Boy Scouts starting coming back. To his family I offer my heart felt sympathy.

Matt, I have known you the last 15 years through some of the great friends we have shared together. You will be missed as you were a great person always willing to help others. The best memory I have is Christmas at your house and you treated me like family when mine didn't. You will be missed. -Chris Johnston

My deepest sympathy in your loss of Matthew. Memories of St. Jude School came flooding back as read of his passing. Matthew and I would speak together of Friendship, WI. His birthday party was one of the best. Matthew was a great listener and had a positive
influence on those grade school years.
The grace of God will not take you where love of God will not protect you.

Matt,
You have been my dear friend for 23 years. During that time you lifted my spirits when I needed it. You made me smile and see that things were not as bad as they seemed. You literally glowed with a positive attitude. Derek and I thank you for being our witness at our wedding. You will be missed and your love will reside in us. Your laugh and fun nature will be remembered always. You will not be forgotten.
All my love,

Matthew was one of the kindest, gentlest people I have ever known. His heart was bigger than the universe. He had the patience of a saint. Rest in peace Matt.

Although I only knew Matt for a short time, he was a delightful man. I felt as if I had known him for many years. I am sadden to hear of his passing and will think of him kindly as I go through life. The sun will not shine as bright as it once did without him here.
