My dearest Matthew, how could we have known those many years ago that time would be so short? You touched my life in so many ways and you were my confidant, support, and best friend. I will never forget your beautiful smile or your infectious wit. We have truly lost an angel on Earth but I know you are now with our Father in Heaven looking out for us. I know one day we will meet again and rejoice. Until then, rest well and know you are so greatly missed. I love you.

Matthew was a nice guy. He was considerate (worked on holidays so those with kids could be off), he was very professional and shared information/his knowledge to make my job a whole lot easier. We temporarily lost touch when he first moved to Airtran, but talked effortlessly a few years ago. We bantered, laughed, exchanged wits (he was quicker on the draw) and played monopoly. I loved him...his open and free spirit, his honesty, his sense of humor. Rest comfortably Mr. Schuster, I will always remember & love you!

The Matthew I met and knew had a sharp sense of humor, quick wit and infectious smile. He loved life and shared his hilarious travel stories with us. What I remember and will miss most is his good natured sarcasm and warm spirit. May he rest in perfect peace...till we meet again.

And memories a lane,

I knew Matthew for 29 years. He was my first love and first boyfriend and the brightest, sweetest, smartest man I've ever known. I will truly miss him and all his sweet messages that he would send to me every week just to let me know he still thought I was special even though we were know only friends. Goodbye my dear Matthew, you truly have your wings now. Erin Gibson
