Matthew, your flamboyant and paradoxical attitude and spirit will never be forgotten. Almost everyday I think to myself, " I need to call Matt." I always imagined us sitting outside some cafe in New York eating together, watching all the beauty pass by, planning for the next big art collaboration. I miss you, brother, and will use you as a reminder and a lesson learned to always take care of myself and body.

Love always,

-E

I was an upstairs neighbor during his stay in Greater Boston. He was a unique

a memorable character. Godspeed, Matt.

Matt truly cared about helping others along their journey. He would make personal sacrifices to benefit others and saw the potential our world. The world needs more people like Matt and we should appreciate these types of individuals and their endearing efforts. People like Matt should be greeted with open arms because it's the help and enrichment from these type of people who help us achieve our own legacies. Matt's legacy will live on through all the others he helped create.
