Dear John & Linda,
It has been just over a year since Matthew's death. And we know you are still grieving, you always will. We wish we had a magical wand that could take your pain away. Unfortunately there is no such thing. But we can give you our friendship. We want you to know that are thoughts and prayers are still with both of you.
Love,

Thinking of you John and Linda and Kristen, and remembering Matthew.
He was always the cutest little boy, smiles and dimples and easy to please, even having Julie and Kristen for babysitters on Saturday nights. He was a good son, loved his family, and he was a gift. I just know he is at peace, with Uncle Russ and Aunt Louise, John's folks, and Aunt Eva.
They loved him too.
Love, Claudia and Dan

Your parents are starting their first full year without you.
I am sure they are not celebrating the New Year as in days gone by, but thinking back over the New Year's past when you were here.
I know you are missed by many, therefore you stay alive in their hearts. I never knew you except through your partents and the love they had for you.
I felt the need to write to you on this night.

I miss you this Christmas Day, Matt, but I choose to think of warm memories in which you star. Playing Trivial Pursuit and how you tried so hard to be accurate when drawing that you always ran out of time. Wearing your "bear feet" slippers. Hearing you say, "Hi, Aunt Karen" and feeling your hug. How you hooked up video games and played them with Ryan (thank you, thank you, thank you!) Your Mom telling me how you loved a Christmas book with scented pages when you were little.
Merry Christmas, Matt. I know you're close by your family and friends this Christmas.
Love,
Aunt Karen

Matt,
I missed you on Monday. Birthdays were one of a kind with our circle of friends! I know you would have been up for a celebration, as you always were. Nothing can replace you here, but the memories of the great times we shared as friends give me comfort. You are missed dearly brother. I'll see you again someday friend. We will celebrate once more.

Dear Matt
Although we never met,your aunt Karen filled me in on who you were and what a great young man you were. We are distant cousins,and I'm ashamed of my self for not keeping in touch with any of the family for the last 47 years.You see Matt,I'm a distant cousin from Wisconsin,and a jerk for dropping out from all our family for all those years and missed the chance to meet a great young cousin like you. The only comfort I have is knowing your with all the incredible loving,and totally crazy and hilarious relatives from Michigan and Wisconsin. I know they all wait for all of us with open loving arms until the time we can all be together again.Please say hi to all them for me buddy. I look forward to meeting you and seeing them all again.Rest easy my young friend. Your greatly loved and missed here and always will be,you will never be forgotten. May God embrace and keep you in peace.I look forward to meeting you and hangin together as family

Matt,
Though your time here on earth was short, you touched many lives and left loving memories.
Your mother and father are wonderful people and very dear friends, though we live far apart. This weekend, and yesterday, they celebrated your life and the memories you left behind.
They asked us to remember your day of birth, which was also your mothers special "birth day" with prayer.
This is for you Matt:
Those who shared their laughter
and their smiles with everyone
and helped others feel a sense of their own worth,
are God's own special angels
who truly made a difference
here on earth.

Dear Linda, John, Kristen, Family and Friends,
Our aching hearts bring us together as we struggle with the loss of Matt, a special person in each of our lives. Let's remember that the joy Matt brought into our lives is a gift that is ours forever. How blessed we are to have walked the path of life with him for whatever time we did.
We are all connected through Matt's love. Let's send each other thoughts of love and healing, as it will honor Matt and help us to lift each other up.
On this, Matthew's birthday, I send my love to all of Matt's family and friends. I will keep you in my heart, thoughts and prayers.
Happy Birthday, dear nephew. I treasure the joy you brought to my life. I love you, Matt.
Aunt Karen

Happy Birthday Matt! We are so sad that you aren't with us today but we remember all the good times too. You were a joy from the day you were born. You were such a happy and beautiful baby and boy and grew up to be such a nice and caring man that everyone loved. We were so proud of you and thank-you for making our lives so much richer having you for our son. Matthew means God's Gift and you sure were a wonderful gift to us. We are comforted by knowing that you are at peace now and in God's loving arms. We love you Matt.
A special thanks to everyone who has taken the time to write a note here. It has been so comforting for us to read all the heart-warming entries over and over again.

Unfortunately I just received the news of Buck's departure from this life. He and I met at Towson U. and became fast friends. We maintained that friendship through thick and thin, but "life" inevitably got in our way. We kept in touch as best we could, and he was a someone whom I thought about often. He was an incredible friend...always lending a shoulder for me to lean on (or cry on), and he never failed to make me laugh (even at my own expense!). My greatest regret is not having known about this tragedy sooner, so that I may have been able to pay proper respect to a good man...and a wonderful friend. Rest easy my friend. I'll see ya again :-)
Love always,
Jen

It's been over a month since Matthew passed away, and there isn't a day that goes by that I haven't thought about him. I didn't realize how much my heart would ache even though I haven't seen him in a couple years. With much love to you Matthew. Save a cloud for all of us.

Buck, it's been one month since you left. It hasn't been easy continuing on without you. There are times when I ask myself, why? You were a brother to me, and you always will be. I cannot remember our last words, knowing us they were short, sweet and to the point. If I could only have one more day, hour, minute to hang out, go to happy hour, fire up the bar-b-q, play cards, etc... I'd settle for it in a heartbeat.
I now know you are at peace friend, and I am forever grateful for it. Rest easy brother, I will never forget the good times we shared. May God bless your family and friends with the courage and the ability to continue on.

John, Linda, Kristen . . .
At times like this, there are no words that properly express the sympathy, compassion and prayers sent to each of you. Nor do those expressions allay the pain and sorrow that permeates the very core of your hearts and souls.
Here are my words for you . . .
Time stands still yet races along.
I know it hurts,
I know you are dying inside.
My heart feels your pain,
My tears are for you now
To help you get through.
Others who are here at this site
Cry with and for you
And for themselves.
Let their hearts care for you for a moment,
For an hour, for another day . . .
John Buck

To Matthew,
It’s Father’s Day and I’ll miss getting the traditional funny card.
I’ll miss seeing your smiling face and having you with us today.
I’ll miss getting my bear hug from you and a kiss on the cheek.
I’ll miss you, my friend, my son.
But, it’s a comfort to know you’re at peace.
In our hearts you are with us always.
With love,
Dad

“Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy.”
It’s been almost one month since you’ve left us. I’ve been having a hard time accepting that you’re gone. I find myself picking up my cell phone wanting to dial your number and hoping so desperately that by some miracle you pick up the other end. I imagine we exchange our friendly hellos and then I tell you of a horrible nightmare I had that you were gone. Suddenly and sadly, reality sets in.
I met you while living at Valley View in Towson. We became friends instantaneously. Your smile was contagious and your laugh was uplifting. When it came to school, you helped me through my graphics courses and shared so much of your talent with me. When it came to my personal life, you were always there with an open ear, a shoulder to cry on and heartfelt advice. As the years went on, our friendship remained a tight bond. I can’t help but wish there were something I could have done to help you. You were and always will be such a special friend to me. Until we meet again, know that you will always be in my heart. I miss you and love you Buck!
To the Buck family:
It was wonderful to meet all of you and extremely therapeutic for me to speak with so many of you. I only wish that we could have met sooner and not under such sad circumstances. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with your whole family. If you should need anything at all, don’t hesitate to contact me. ([email protected] or [email protected])
Love Always,
Tabetha

It hasn’t been a month since you left us. It won’t take that long to get over the loss, it won’t take a year; it’s possible I may never get over the realization of you not being here. I will never forget your care free spirit, your personality, sense of humor, style, love for others, and your smile.
God bless your family and friends; your memory will carry on through them.
Rest in peace friend, for I know that you suffer no more.
I miss you dearly.
-a friend.

I lived with Matt for almost six years. My most vivid memory of him at this time is seeing him dance for all of us, to the beat of "house in Towson" and others. To those of us who remember " stop the party, Buck's not here" , the times we share will never be the same without him.
June 1, 2005
-Friend-
When someone shares, a friend will listen.
When someone cares, a friend will glisten.
When a friend is mad, I will be their shoulder to lean on.
When a friend is sad, I will be the person who helps them to carry on.
Fore that’s what a friend does.

Meeting Matt's friends and reading their messages makes me so grateful that he had such special, loving people in his life.
I watched Matt grow from a beautiful baby and child into a handsome, kind, funny young man. I will miss him for the rest of my life but I treasure the time that his lifespan crossed mine. It's comforting to know he is at peace with his loving grandparents and I look forward to seeing him when we are all together again. I feel Matt's spirit and the love it imparts. Let's continue to lift each other up because none of us has to walk through this sorrow alone. I will keep his dear family and friends in my prayers.

My deepest and sincerest regards go out to the family and friends of Matthew Buck. To everyone he was, and always will be an honest, generous and remarkable soul. His spirit was made of gold, woven by angels and protected by God. Buck was an icon of admiration; acting out in selflessness, goodwill and affection. An exemplary individual, he will continue to be a teacher to us all from within our hearts.
From an anonymous poet..."If you learn from your suffering, and really come to understand the lessons you were taught, you might be able to help someone else who's now in the phase you may have just completed. Maybe that's what it's all about after all..."
He is loved and will be remembered in our hearts forever.

Buck was there for people who needed him. He would listen and give you a lift. I remember his laugh and smile, and the faces he'd make for photographs. He was one of the few people in Maryland I met who could talk hockey. He was a funny, generous and caring person.

Mr. & Mrs. Buck, Kristen, and Family,
It is hard to find the words to express how much Buck meant to so many of us. He was one of my closest friends since I entered Towson University. He was an easy-going, lovable friend. In addition, we worked together for over 3 years. Recently we were roommates, and he provided many a helping hand and was one of the most generous people I know. He will truley be missed by all. My deepest sympathy in this most trying of times. Stay strong and remember all of the good memories he helped make.

Buck was the first person I met at Towson U. He was a cherished friend and will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Buck will never know how many lives he touched. This is for you old buddy...until we meet again,
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

We are so sad to hear the news of Buck passing on. We know he'll be missed very much. We have so many happy memories of the middle and high school years here in Novi.

Remembering the first day I met Matthew brings tears to my eyes. He instantly became an older brother to me. Matthew was always there for me and the rest of us in hard times. He protected us, kept us out of trouble, and was always there to lend a helping hand. I will miss my dear friend and I will never let down the hope of all of us being together again. Mr., Mrs. Buck and Kristen, I want to be there for you just as Matthew was there for me.

I met Matt when I moved to Towson for college and he instantly became a great friend. We spent a lot of time together, going to college, working, and hanging out together. I can't remember a football Sunday that we didn't watch the games together or the countless amount of DMB concerts that we went to. Matt will be missed greatly.
