Not sure what to say?

So shocked and sorry to hear this unbelievably horrible news. My deepest condolences to the entire Rutkowski family.

A lot of Matt´s students may not know this, Matt was the class clown. He was hilarious in class and would give it right back to teachers who were giving students a hard time. This made him a good leader. It is no surprise he went into the field he did and that he was so successful in the outcomes of his work. He was and is an amazing force of energy. His legacy will live on in his students, children and those of us lucky enough to know him.

I had the pleasure of working with Matt during his time in the SEL schools. He was a dedicated educator and became an exceptional counselor, always dedicated to helping his students. My deepest condolences to his family. Words seem so inadequate and empty in the face of this huge loss. My prayers will continue for his family
