Monte Leroy Matthews

Tara just called to let Julie know about Leroy's passing. I am so very sorry about your loss. A parent doesn't expect to lose a child, so the passing is so much more painful. Dee Dee, Monte and Tara, you are in our thoughts and our prayers that time will help you all heal.

I only had a couple of times to meet Leroy, that what he called himself I was brought to New Meadows by a divorce to retreive property and he was on call what a wonderful man I had a chance to meet and under standing, as I left the town of New Medows I have often thought of the kind man that I had met. I cannot say how sorry I am for the loss of such a kind man

I wanted to say I am so sorry to hear of Leroy's passing. Jaycen and I really wished we could of attended the funeral but with his deployment we weren't able to attend. Jaycen thought so much of Leroy. You are all in our hearts and prayers.

To everyone who knew Leroy. You don't even know how you have comforted us in our loss. I wish there were words, but I can't think. Leroy loved everyone he knew. I hope you know that. I keep saying that people have said how we raised such a wonderful person. I want to say to everyone that knew Leroy, is that it was not only us who made Leroy who he is. It was each and everyone he knew. Thank you for being a part of Leroy's life. and thank you for standing with us in this time. I LOVE YOU...

As a young man growing up in Riggins, I looked up to Leroy. He was a real class act and I will always remember him. My condolences to the Matthews family.

So sorry to hear about your brother Tara, My thoughts and prayers are with yous.

To all the family and friends of Matthews....
My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you.... He was a great guy...good friend...and awesome Marine. I feel bad that I didn't keep in touch after the corps.

We were stationed in MCLB Barstow together. Loving great man who...
