Omg! I just was asked if I knew the guy, that was killed, that worked @ SCOTTRADE. I had no clue. To Matt's wife & daughters, I am truly sorry for your incredible loss. I always asked about the girls, 5, 3, & almost 1, is what Matt told me, a week ago. I can't believe it. To his family & close friends, I hope you find peace because there will be a huge void. RIP Matt. Gone too soon.

My thoughts and prayers to all...wife, kids, parents, family....
I worked with Matt years ago...late high school, early college years. Very little contact since then, other then the occasional bumping into one another. I just remember what a super guy he was. Having recently become a father myself, my heart just breaks for his entire family.
You will be missed, Matt. I will be thinking and praying for your family.

Jennifer,
The memory that Ashley, Tyler and I will not forget is this last Christmas at Granny's.. Matt sitting in that big chair holding the girls because they were so afraid of Santa. It was so cute when he had all 3 girls on his lap and a big smile on his face.
May the peace that comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.

My heart breaks for you and your girls, Jenn. Matt was so loving with the girls when he dropped them off a preschool. There was always lots of hugs, kisses and smiles. I love little Danika and pray that The Lord comforts and watches over her and your family as you go through this very difficult time.
Amy Williams
April 13, 2015
Jenn-- Matt left a tremendous legacy of love for his girls. He was such a loving and attentive daddy and ALWAYS smiling when he dropped Danika off at school. Every day when he would get ready to go, after hugs and kisses (and then "one more hug"), he would linger a few extra seconds to peek in and see her sitting working at her seat. She rarely saw, but Jane I did. ....I am so deeply sorry. Please know you and the girls are being covered in prayer.

I met Matt years ago through work; he was a lot of fun to be around. I was stunned and saddened by the news of his death because his was a life cut short way too soon. I had not seen Matt in person for years but we kept in touch through Facebook; it was obvious that he loved his wife Jennifer and their daughters more than anything. My heart breaks for their loss of a great husband and dad and my sympathies go out to all of his family and friends.
