A candle burned strong and true...
Lit the way for old and new.
I have left the path I once walked...
To seek the warmth of his flock.
Do not morn those who
leave...
But rejoice in their belief.

Matt was such a great guy and hard working driver. He loved life and his work and I look forward to seeing his smile and working alongside him again in paradise. Until that day comes tho I will miss him greatly. Prayers, thoughts, and condolences to all his family and friends in this time of great loss.

Dear Doug, Diane and the Martin Family,
Our hearts go out to you at the loss of your son. We did not know Matt very well but I think we met when you and your very large crew came to our house and put up a shed for us. What a great bunch of young men. Joan and I pray that the Lord will give you the strength to get through this and that you will be able to see his devine plan for Matt and also that you will come to know that He never gives us a burden to bear that he does not, first, give us the strength to carry. He is with you and as you look at the single line of footprints in the sand you will know that he is carrying you at this time in his arms. Jim and Joan Gregory

Matt was a truly, sincere nice guy. When he asked how I was doing I could tell he actually cared about my answer and was not asking just to ask. He took time to ask and listen which I thought was one of many great qualities he had. Matt, you will be missed

Matt was one of the most kind-hearted young men we knew. He always looked for Larry at church to talk trucks and ask about Larry's health. Matt was an encourager who blessed others every day of his life. We will forever miss this remarkable young man.
