Matt... You and I have mutual friends. Although I did not know you personally I did take a shot in your honor at Iggy's house party the day after you passed away... It sort of ended up being a party in your honor which I am thankful to have been invited to. From all the stories everyone was talking about you... You seemed like a real stand-up guy and someone I would have liked to have been friends with.

Dear Chip, Barbara, and Ben, Grandmama told me about Matthew's accident as soon as Uncle John dropped me off at home after VBS. Matt died doing what he loved. He was happy and having a good time. It's like Dad used to say before he died. "Endubity, Benigity, and Resurrection and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Have a good week. I love y'all.

Dear Latimer Family,
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss, however, it is true that Matt will live on in so many hearts and minds in a positive and bright light.

When I recognized him months later at the best natural food market around, Whole Foods, he greeted me with a big smile,...

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and so sorry I did not get the chance to meet Matthew. He sounds like all the wonderful things a parent would like their son to be. I will be thinking of you.
