Not sure what to say?

Matt was a humble, giving, loyal, witty, and sweet man. His friends were his brothers. His family was his world. In the short time I knew him, I saw how genuine Matt’s heart was. I’m grateful to have known him, and that’s an understatement. God takes the best. Thanks for the laughs, Matt.

I am so very sorry to hear about Matt’s passing. I didn’t hear about until just tonight(September 28th). He was a really nice and kind person. He had that easy going personality when I knew him and I think that’s why he was always well liked. I remember when I had him in Physical Education class at Jefferson. He always seemed to have so much fun playing different sports especially tennis with a couple of his closer friends.
To Marsha, Charles, Andy and Kristine: It breaks my heat...

Jen, Lils, Charlie and Grif, I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you all hugs and love and strength in this shocking and sad time. I'll miss Matt's kindness and calmness. He was a good man. Let me know if you need anything at all. I love you!

Sincere heartfelt sympathy Jen to you and yours. You are in my thoughts and prayers with loss of Matt. Deb ONeil

A gentle soul we remember well
Never a bad word said on which to dwell
As the years go by memories are made
And we recall them now as they cascade

Our lives intertwine and sometimes move on
As part of own life's endless song
Then there comes a time to say a goodbye bow
So hail and farewell but only for now.

Matt was a kind man and a good father. Rest in peace.

Was very kind and respectful of all he came in contact with. A smile for everyone. Matt will be greatly missed.
Now he is a guardian angel for all.

Matt was my manager the last couple years at CRST, but he was also a one of a kind friend. I am completely devastated and so sorry for the families loss. I don't think any of us were prepared for Matt to leave us so soon. There is no one that will be able to fill his shoes. You have my deepest sympathies at this time.

Jen, so sorry for your loss. Deepest sympathy to you and your children.

My deepest sympathy to you, Jen, and your children!
