Matt was one of the kindest and sweetest persons I've ever met.
After living far away for some years and returning to the area, Matt approached me at a neighboring gathering, asking how my father was.
He remembered who I was and expressed genuine concern and care for my dad. Matt's sweetness is also evident in his sons, Connor and Jake.
I've never seen either boys without a smile on their face. Like Matt.

Matt was sweet and thoughtful.
After many years of living away, Matt came up to me at a neighboring gathering and asked how my dad was.
Matt remembered who I was and reached out with sincere concern and hope for what my father was going through.
Matts goodness is also evident in his 2 sons, Connor and Jake.They are also both kind and considerate.
I've never seen them without a smile. Like Matt.
