Matthew, age 21, taken on B Street

Even though Matt has been gone from us for quite some time, I still think of him often and miss his great smile and sense of humor. Matt was a wonderful person and I miss watching him as a loving father with his children.

This holiday season must be terribly sad for those who are used to seeing Matt.

I saw a handsome young man last night who looked so much like Matt, I had to stop and think -- I thought Matt was sending a message for all those who are missing him or think of him from time to time...

The message is personal for each of us. Whatever you think Matt is telling you now is really what Matt is telling you! The mind does not cease even though the body is no longer here!...

Matt was truly someone you could look up to, especially from my heighth. I remember meeting him out in the field at work. He was a diligent worker. His work ethic is ne to be remembered. A friend like Matt can never be forgotten. My wife met Matt through his brother John and wife Carmen, she remember's him for his silly humor and positive outgoing attitude. His memory will live on for quite some time to come. He will be missed, however, certainly never forgotten.

Dear Cousins,
Matt certainly lives on....the funeral services spoke so eloquently of his life and loves. Each of you is in special prayer and love. Thank you for honoring Matt in his living and his dying so that his life continues to inspire and generate love and care. I am so proud to be part of this Walsh family.
Lovingly, your cousin, Pat,O.P.

Matt Walsh is a man who I always have and always will look up to. Proud, confident and trustworthy, if you needed him he was there-period! Although my heart is heavy with the loss of such a great friend, the memories of his spirit and smile will live on.
Matt Walsh, one of a kind.

There are people in one's life that you can never forget. Then there are the ones you wish you never knew. But Matt will be a person I'll never forget and wish that the others would be more like him. Although I haven't seen Matt for some time, I would remember the great times I had with him and his sense of humor. He was an influential friend in my life and his memory will be one I'll never forget.

The Walsh brothers have always been dear to my heart. I am saddened that Matt has left us so early in his life. He had a way of making people feel special, no matter how long he knew them, no matter how much time spent apart. My life has been enriched knowing Matt. I know his big heart and arms are wrapped around all of us who mourn him. I can feel the warmth of his smile as I write this...Blessings!
