Not sure what to say?

Mac was a guest at Lauren"s parties when they were in HS together at Cave Spring. He was a pleasure to have at our home & Lauren forwarded his obituary to me. God Bless him & keep him. Renee Douglas

I'm sending much love to Marcia and family. Mac must have been a truly incredible man. With sincere sympathy, Renee Staton

Mac inspired me with his happy attitude despite the health issues he dealt with. He was in my video production class at Cave Spring High School. We did a daily television news show every morning for the students: Mac always added his own special touch to our broadcast. You will be missed by all who knew him. Sending prayers to the family.Pam Weddle Palma.

I witnessed as a young boy in middle school a very young Mac. He did not have it easy by any stretch of the imagination. Yet he would never fail to have a good attitude, be present most every day and be a constant leader in the classroom. I remember him being very serious about politics way back in middle school which was almost unheard of for a 7th or 8th grader and he was proud of what he stood for, yet never once downed anyone else for their feelings or beliefs. The way we ALL should...

My sincere condolences to the Obenshain family and friends. May God comfort your hearts, the days ahead that you remember all the beautiful moments shared with Matthew. Blessings and Peace

Praying for your family tonight as you grieve and remember a remarkable man

That was so beautifully written! Rip Mac

I worked with Mac at Carmike in 2009 and have thought of him often over the years. He was an unforgettable character, and this wonderful obituary commemorates him perfectly. Rest easy, Mac - I'll always remember that photo of you sitting in the Fruitopia fridge. Thank you for being so kind to me.

Obenshain Family, we are so very sorry for your loss. Mac was such a wonderful person and friend and he will be missed.
