I remembered Matt having gone to school with my brother, Jim, in grade school then he became a customer and fun friend to me. I will miss him and hope all the best for Laura, I am shocked! God bless his soul, Jan M at Rite Aid

As I sit here in front of this computer, with tears streaming down my face, I can't help but think of how kind of a friend Matt was.Honest, faithful and oh so talented. He was my friend before he was Ben's and then he was "our" friend. He had such a tender voice and a loving heart and a mind filled with so much musical imagination it made me envious that he could do so much with music and all I could do was listen and enjoy.He will be missed by our family.Our hearts are heavy with saddness.

I was very saddened to hear of Matt's passing so soon on his journey through life and would like to express my condolences to the whole family. I hadn't seen Matt in years and years, but I remember him very well from living across the street from the whole family on Bent Dr., where my mom still lives. And how nice it was one day when out of sheer curiosity I typed in "Bent Drive" on the net and right there at the top of the list found Matt doing what he clearly loved! I'm quite sure he still...
