I was so sorry to hear about Matt’s passing. Although I haven’t seen him in many years since moving away from Crawfordsville nearly 30 years ago, I have great memories of Matt when our families lived next door to each other during the late 1970’s/1980’s. Matt was a great kid w/ a kind heart and an easy-going, quiet spiritand I just always remember his big smiles! Sending hugs & prayers to Lou, Norma, Mark and the rest of Matt’s family as they grieve this tremendous loss. Rest In Peace, Matthew!

Lou and Norma, Michelle and I are so sorry for your loss. You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.
