Mattee,

Words can't begin to express the profound impact you have made on my life (and everyone around you) both professionally and personally. Your passion/energy for life was contagious. Your sense of leadership was exemplary of all the key competencies every executive encompasses. There are so many great memories I will cherish for the rest of my life. I feel very fortunate that I had the privilege to listen to your vision, and I promise to safe guard your ideas and keep your memory alive in every key initiative implemented via the Phoenix TeleSales organization. Our "2005 Dream Team" is coming together, and although I never could have anticipated you wouldn't be physically beside us each (excruciating) step of the way.... in my heart I know you are in heaven looking down and taking care of us. You are loved by every member of this team, and you will always walk on water in our eyes.

I distinctly recall a discussion you and I had recently where you so eloquently pointed out that "Matthew" is defined as 'Gift of God'. You truly are a Gift from God, and your smile and laugh will be missed. Thank you for being you, I appreciate every minute of it.

To Stacey/Tatum and the Maurer Family: My deepest condolences for your loss. My prayers are with you everyday..

I have known Matthew since I was 10 years old. He was a big part of my life growing up. He was my best friend through all our years of school and beyond. We share so many memories. I remember his tooth getting knocked out, his vans, izod shirts, summers he worked chopping cotton and life-guarding at the pool,his camero, blue toyota truck, his shaved head for t.h.s. football, girls dance king, he dressed up as the motley crue band and sang, the passing of his dad, hanging out at the E.A. pool, shooting baskets at the gym(he did not like me beating him at horse), walking the golf course day after day, being with the whole "gang" and talking with one another for hours about life.(just to name a few) All it took was a few moments in the presence of his contagious vitality and a stranger became his friend. I never knew anyone with so many friends. He got along with everyone. He made everyone laugh! He was so funny, charming, energetic, handsome and lovable.

He leaves behind a family he cherished and more friends that most acquire in 100 years of life.

I feel very fortunate to have known and loved Matthew. I will always remember his smile.

My heart, thoughts, and prayers our with all of his family.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Matt and I were best friends many years ago. Junior high and our freshman year of high school are some of my favorite memories because of everything that Matt and I experienced. I moved away many years ago but have never forgotten the times we shared and the love Matt had for his father, mother and sisters.

Matt, your life has meant a lot to many individuals. The way you touch out to the souls of people is truly a gift. We all can be thankful for that gift you shared. Our "brother" friendship growing up together created times of laughter, success, competition, and memories that are everlasting. Thanks for being a part of my life.

Stacey, my entire family sends our deepest sympathy for the loss of such a terrific individual. We pray for you, your family and Matt's family to have peace and comfort during this difficult time.

I, too, have been blessed with the opportunity and privilege to know and work with Matt Maurer. As I think back to all the special and wonderful friends I've made in my life, Matt is clearly on that list. He was a great friend, mentor, co-worker, listener and would kindly give you the shirt off his back if needed. The Matt I knew was a big guy with and equally big heart. He has an abundant love for his wife, his daughter, his family and his friends. He never made you feel "2nd". When you were at his desk, you were his priority.

Stacey ~ my heart goes out to you. There will not be a day go by that you will be in my prayers. You are equally as strong as Matt, and I know that through faith and love and the support of your family and friends, you will raise your daughter with high standards and make her daddy proud.

With love and sympathy,

Michelle (Lee) Rigby

Mighty Mau-

You are always still invincible in my mind. I'm still gonna call you chumpzilla in my stories though (252lbs beast!). Big boxing PPV's and the gym will never be quite the same without you. I know you will still always look out for me in spirit though. I love you man, your little bro....

Tatum (bug) -

Your Daddy talked about you all the time. Had pictures of you stacey covering his office. I hope you know how much you and your Mom meant to him, you are his whole world.

Matt:

Words cannot express how grateful I am that I was able to be a part of your life. Although we lost touch with each other the past few years, I thought of you and our "brothers" often. Thinking back to the memories we made toghether, I cannot help but smile when I remember your "Gila Hiss" in tribute to our college mascot, and of course your impersonation of "Ice-man, King Parsons" the professional wrestler. You kept us all in stiches with a genuine desire to make us happy. I will always have those memories of you. I knew you as a young man plotting the course your life would lead; I am sorry that I was not able to follow you thoughout your adulthood, for it is quite clear that you became a wonderful and successful man who touched the lives of many and made an enemy of none. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your beautiful wife and child, friends and family, during this time of mourning. We will be comforted knowing that you are with God and the angles, making them laugh I'm sure.

God bless and keep you Matt.

Matt,

You made it a pleasure to come to work everyday. You were always, I mean always upbeat. You defined work hard at what you do, but have fun. I once read that "success is something you love to do". You made all of us here feel that, one day, we will be successful like you.

Robert Raska

Simply put into few words, (The Managers Manager) one of the few with True Corporate Soul, and Humility in his heart.

Matt I do not envy the one that has to try to fill your shoes here at Direct Alliance, they will try their best, but never completely replace the warmth and kindness that you have shown others over the years, even your rivals bow to you loss.

I never had the opportunity to have known you except for professionally at work Matt, but knowing some of the prople here at DAC that did know you as a close friend, I see in thier faces daily the great loss they are going through, and the pain.

I will leave you and your loved ones with this thought, Boss.

A mans worth is not what he has in his bank, nor in his billfold, nor the gold he wears, or the roof that is over his head.

A true mans worth is in the memories that he leaves behind with his friends, family, and people that knew him and what he stood for, when he no longer is with us.

God bless you big guy, you are truly a great Man.

When you think of me don't be blue

You both know my love is true

I know you can't see me but Im here

In a different form but very near

I'll always be there when your in need

Just look for a sign and be sure to take heed

Keep my memory deep in your hearts

You both made my life complete from the start

Well I have to go for now the plane just landed

There is a large crowd waiting nice to know I am not stranded

Remember Tatum when life seems to swirl

You will alwayss be daddys's little girl

Matt,

I (We) miss you but know you will always be in our hearts. You are a true friend and one of the all time good guys.

Stacey & Tatum

Our thoughts and prayers will always be with you. We have all been blessed having known Matt.

Franklin Mossman

January 20, 2005

When I heard the news that Matt had passed away I was stunned and my heart immediately began to sink, my wife, Stacy--a former DAC employee who also knew Matt--and I both experienced this feeling as we received the news. We didn't want to believe that he was gone.

I first met Matt when interviewing for a position on his DAC/HP team in March of ’99. By the end of the interview, I was truly excited and was looking forward to coming to work because I was so impressed with Matt (and John Moss). I felt then, based only on our interaction during the interview, that I would be respected and supported by these two men, day in and day out. Over the years of working with Matt, my initial impressions proved to be true and accurate.

Thinking about this tragedy, it always seems to me that the "best" people, the brightest "lights", the "biggest hearts" are taken from us too soon, then I realize that there is no appropriate time for such people to be taken from us.

I regret that I had not made more of an effort to spend much time with Matt outside of work at DAC, although we had both said to one another, on more than one occasion, that we would "get together sometime”. I am saddened by the reality that he and I will not have the opportunity, in this lifetime, to make that happen.

Among other things, I will miss crossing paths with Matt in and around DAC grounds, hallways and events, and being met with a genuine smile, a firm handshake and a warm hello--at this moment I remember Matt greeting me, as he often would, with a, "hey big guy!” Now, while I might be a bit taller than Matt, I have to smile and chuckle because in reality and the scheme of things, I knew who the “Big Guy" was. Yeah, that would be you Matty.

Matt may be gone from my physical world, but he will live on in my heart and mind because I will always remember these things about him. I hope to honor him in this way. I will remember him with the fondness, love and respect that I hold for him, developed and nurtured over the years.

This will be part of his legacy; that those who lived with him, played with him, worked with him, crossed his path and shared his "light", were improved in some way by the experience. And at the very least, we became better employees, better associates and co-workers, better friends and better human beings. I know that this is true for me.

Thank you Matty.

Kim Bouck

Matt it was a pleasure working with you at DAC for the last couple years. You were friendly, professional, and very unintimidating.

Rest in peace, my friend.

Matt is and ever will be remembered as a man among men. His personality has and always will be one of love, caring and appreciation for the good things in life. His family was his number one priority. You could always see how much he loved his daughter! Every time Tatum was asked about or brought up in conversation he beamed with joy! His ever encouraging and always positive outlook on life has been a real strength to me, and others as well. I believe this is not the last I'll see of him. His presence in mortality will be missed. There are few in this world that you can truly call friend! He is the definition of what a friend should be. I am a better man for having the opportunity to know him. My sincerest love and condolences go out to his family in hopes they will continually feel his influence in this life.

As many of the tributes here state Matt was one of the most energetic and friendly people someone would have the privledge to know! We are all so proud of your accomplishments- the most important being your beautiful family! One of the things I will always remember is the little joke Matt would have by saying "not bad for a Thatcher Boy!" You will be missed but because you have so many loving friends/family you will never be forgotten. I know that you will look down on us all with the love and care you've always shown. God Bless You Matt!

Matt,

Words cannot describe the level of sadness and emptiness we all feel. We miss your smile, sense of humor, and the kindness you spread to everyone you knew.

Your physical presence was definitely large and sometimes a little intimidating to those that did not know you - but one of the memories I will always have of you is how a little girl named Tatum turned "the giant" into a mush-ball. I will "always" think of you whenever ASU is mentioned. I miss you, my friend.

Stacey/Tatum

My heart and prayers goes out to both of you - just know that all of your friends and family are here to provide support during this very difficult time and in the future as well.

Matt was a great individual. Even though he has left us physically, he will be with all of us forever.

Matt,

There was never a day that we crossed paths that you didn't say what's up... I always knew you as treating everyone equal and making everyone feel welcome around here on the floor. Your strong leadership presence will physically be missed. Your spirit is what will keep us going. May you help your family heal in spirit with their tough loss. Take Care Matty...

My most heartfelt and sincerest wishes go out to the family in this most trying time. There are no words to take away the pain you are suffering at this moment in your lives, but do know that my prayers are with you. May God give you the strength to get through this time, the comfort to know that his and Matt's love will always be with you, and the pride to know that you were so deeply and genuinely loved by Matt. He just lit up when he talked about his family and you just knew how much he really cared. It was a great honor to have known you Matt. God Bless You. Esther

Matt was one of the few real friends a person is blessed with during a lifetime. His loyalty and devotion to my family was dear to us. Matt gave freely of himself without expecting anything in return. The calls will be missed, along with the celebrating of one anothers achievements as if they were our own. I will always cherish Matt and the rich memories he's given me. I love and miss him very much.

To Stacy, Tatum, and Family: God bless you with Strength, Comfort and Peace.

Matt, you where such an impact on everyone’s life you touched. You had a huge heart, and always made everyone around you feel more at ease. You always gave 100% in everything you did, and it showed in how successful you became. I am so proud to have been a part of your life. If there was one person I could always count on to be there, it was you Matt, my best friend, and my brother. I'll never forget the many great times and experiences we lived together. I loved you, and you always made it clear that you felt the same by the many times you stood by my side thru thick and thin.

I will make sure Tatum knows how much you loved her, and how everything you did was for her. I know that because you told me. God Bless you and your family.

You will always be in my heart and thoughts, I miss you Matt~

Someone said something about Matt's heart being so big he didn't know how it fit into his chest. Those words fit to a t. There is no word to describe this "big brother" and little angel on earth except magical. He had an energy and aura about him that was just plain untouchable. He was passionate about people, his business, life and most of all his beautiful family. That smile just made my day. My sincerest blessings and love to the family.

January 19, 2005

Matt,

As we worked together throughout the years I saw you consistently glide across the sales floor overpowering everyone with an intense kindness, all the while, gaining ultimate respect. This was a quality about you that I will always admire. You had a way about you that made everything seem just fine no matter what the situation.

Stace y, Tatum, and Friends,

I can best remember the feeling Matt gave people by explaining how his first and many subsequent handshakes affected me. It has been said that you can tell a lot about a person by simply shaking their hand. In retrospect, Matt definitely proved this statement to be true. After the first handshake we exchanged I turned away thinking my hand would never heal from the deep throbbing pain I had just experienced. Despite the great pain, I looked forward to the next time that we would have a chance to shake on something. Why? His handshake was very strong like the leader he was. It was genuine because with every handshake we exchanged, he gave 150% effort and looked me square in the eyes. It was kind because he always extended his hand while sporting a smile. It was humorous because he nearly brought me to tears (of pain) every single time we shook. What did his handshake say about him as a person? He was a strong and genuine leader that always gave 150% in everything he did. He led with kindness and humor, which ultimately gained my respect and friendship. These are the reasons why it was always my pleasure to shake Matt's hand no matter how much it hurt.

Stacey, Tatum, and Family,

It was my honor to become friends with Matt over the past few years. I’m sure he will be leading us still from a better place just as he did here on earth. My deepest sympathies go out to you both and everyone in your family.

Having worked with and known Matt for over two years, I believe these words from the Dali Lama express how he would want us all to remember that we all have A PRECIOUS LIFE.... Every day, think as you wake up,

Today I am fortunate to have woken up,

I am alive

I have a precious human life,

I am not going to waste it,

I am going to use all my energies

to develop myself,

to expand my heart out to others,

To achieve enlightenment for the

benefit of all beings,

I am going to have

kind thoughts towards others,

I am going to benefit others

as much as I can

Always in our hearts, God Bless

Matty, not a day will go by where I pass your home and dont think of you. I will always remember some of the little gems we would constantly exchange with each other. Whether it was us ripping on the other one, our friends or just telling stories of times gone by. You were and always will be considered a great man and an even better friend. I am truly proud to have crossed paths with you in this lifetime. I know that I am better person for having known you and your family. Although we have lost you physically, you will never truly be gone, you will always be alive in our hearts and our thoughts. Thank you and your family for considering me a friend and allowing me to be a part your lives. May you rest in peace and continue to watch over your friends like you always did.

Matt interviewed me in July 2000 as a sales rep and I ended up supporting him in his most recent role at Direct Alliance. Matt was definitely like a big brother to me at Direct Alliance. I always looked forward to seeing Matt, even if only to exchange smiles and to say good morning. Matt’s warm and positive energy will be missed more than words can describe. He truly was a shining star that always went out of his way to make people feel so valued and important, not just to the company but also to him, personally. Life at Direct Alliance will never be the same. With the strong impression Matt has had on the people he worked with, I can only imagine what the family is going through. My thoughts and prayers are with the Maurer family. What a beautiful soul!

Matt,

First, you were a co-worker and soon after you married Stacey. That made you part of our family too. I know that Stacey and Tatum will always miss you. You were her husband but also her best friend. Tatum was sent to you and made the circle complete. I know that you will always be in there heart and looking down from heaven to guide and watch over them until you can all be together again.

Rest in peace my cousin, and my friend,

Matty,

I am so lucky to have known you. I will always remember the good time we had in Beaver Creek Colo with many more great memories I hold close to my heart. I will miss your compassionate strength you had for all of your family, friends and co workers. Most of all I will miss that great bear hug you often through on me (not many men could). As you now sit upon that highest dune, I say rip it!

Thank you Matt, you were truly a great man!

Stacey,

I am so sorry for your loss. Matt was such a great guy. I remember when you were pregnant with Tatum, just how excited he was. I was expecting my daughter at the same time. The first name we picked out for my daughter was Shea. Matt and I used to joke about having "Tatum and Shea". Matt was great to work for. He worked hard and always put a positive spin on any negative situation. He was a wonderful boss, Dad, husband and friend. Our prayers are with you and sweet little Tatum.

Matt, I can not say enough about how much your incredible energy has had on me and my family. To have felt the comfort that you brought to the table whenever we/crew were together is something that I am sure everyone who new you can understand, to realize how much it hurts to have you gone. You will be missed but always, always be remembered in my heart and body literally. Remember our saying: "SAND PLAYAZ" stick together we are a family, no one gets left behind, we will always be here for "BUG" and "Stacey". With all my heart I LOVE YOU MAN!!!!! My extended condolences to the immediate family.

Matty,

You and I both now what happened that night heading south on the Broadway curve.... We became friends, more than that we became brothers. Over the past few years you have been there whenever I needed you, you are always there, and you will always be with me and my family. You were larger than life Matty, I don't know how your heart fit in that chest. I promise you that Austin, Dane, Macy and especially Tatum will know how much you loved them even though they may have been too young to understand. As painful as all of this is right now, if I was given the choice to do it all over again and knew the outcome of where we are right now, I would take that drive on the Broadway curve a 100 times over. I love you brother, I can hear you saying it now with that big ol' smile.... "What's your dream kid??"

I would always look at the pictures on Matt's desk of his photogenic family. I would think about how nice it was that two people who matched so well were together. First, a few years ago, there was a picture of Stacey. Then, there was the lovely wedding picture, followed by the arrival of the cute pictures of Tatum. Matt treated his colleagues like family and helped me get three jobs over the years. I don't know what he said exactly in reference to me, but it always felt like, "Hire my Sister." People listen to Matt and he had the most animated stories. Everyone would gather around and crack up. I am thankful to Direct Alliance for facilitating the educational fund for Matt's daughter. I was Tatum's age when my father passed away from an accident and his company, JI Case, did the same for me. Tatum will remember her father through stories and she will always be able to look at the most beautiful photographs of her parents. My condolences and prayers to the family.

Matt you are and always will be the man. What you saw is what you got with you and your family. It was my honor to know you, stand by you, support you, and play ball with you. You would make any father proud, any mother behold you, any wife love you, and Tatum worship you. You are measured in life by the effect you had on this world when you leave it. You have made the impact you worked so hard and made look so easy on peoples lives. You are the king and will be missed always. You were a man's man and everyones big brother...

It is very difficult to express into words what the loss of Matt Maurer means to all of us. In addition to being a husband and father, he was a tremendous leader and most of all, a friend. I am a better person for having known Matt and having him in my life. Matt, Rest in Peace...you will be terribly missed.

Matty we are going to miss you and your bear hugs so much. You meant the world to BDub and were just as much a brother to him as his own brothers are. Dane will dedicate his first year as a "Devil" to his Uncle Matt. We love you and will miss you so much. We promise you that Tatum will know what a great man her daddy was.

Matt Maurer has always been one of my favorite people. He was the type of person that everyone wanted to know and be around. He was a great person a very good friend. I will always remember those competitive softball and basketball games we played years ago. Matt was always up for the challenge and more than held his own each time. And I'll remember how proud Matt was when he first became a Dad to his little girl. He made sure we all knew how much he loved her. My thoughts and prayers are with Stacey and Tatum. He will be missed.

Matt,

I worked with you for nearly 7 years. I remember so much about you. But what I remember most is:

When we talked about business you were interested and concerned.

When we talked about friends and family you were animated and caring.

When we talked about Tatum, you were glowing.

I will miss you.

My thoughts and prayers go to Matt's family and friends. I know my words can not take away the pain nor can my prayers bring back your loved one, but remind you as well as myself that Matt has gone on to a better place. Matt was a very kind man and always willing to help out a friend. Thank you Matt! You will be missed!

Matt,

We both remember so many wonderful things about you, but a couple that first come to mind are sitting next to you and Stacey at the Fiesta Bowl, yelling, screaming, telling jokes, laughing, and just enjoying you being you, and watching you show your devotion and love to Stacey at a time when you both had so many dreams, hopes, and plans for your future as husband and wife and family.

Ben remembers you at the company golf tournament, and your wonderfully attractive medical scrubs and darling hat you proudly displayed.

You made us laugh, you helped us keep our perspective on life, and you earned our respect when you not only spoke of family values and loyalty to friends, but you demonstrated them daily, and they were such a natural part of who you were.

We promise to be here for Stacey and Tatum, and will do all we can to be sure we help pick up where you left off.

We truly miss you, and certainly will never forget you.

Matt was always upbeat, always smiling, and he loved his work. More than a boss, he was a friend. A more genuine person cannot be found. We are all now missing a part of our family...may he rest in peace.

I will miss parking next to you and not seeing you on a conference call every morning. You always made everybody feel like a million bucks - we will miss you and never forget you!

My deepest sympathy for the loss of your beloved Matt. I know he will be deeply missed by you and your family. God bless you during these difficult times.

Matt at one time was my direct manager. He always treated me fairly and with respect. For the past several years we played fantasy football together in the same league and had many conversations about his beloved Denver Broncos. Matt was my manager but more importantly Matt was my friend. And when you lose a friend a little part of you goes with him.
