Kerry, Sean, Sean J Jay and Pat So sorry to have lost such a sweet young soul. Kerry, you will have many thoughts of Matty when you go home. It may be a smell that comes or a memory that might come to mind. A hearing Mathew's voice will invoke memories to you.

It was such an honor to get to know Matty and you, Kerry and Sean, over these many years. He was an inspiration to so many of us - and so are both of you. He always ran the show, and as the amazing Karen G said to me, now he is free - comfy and cozy for sure. I will never forget Matty. Best, Robyn

We are all better people for knowing and loving Matty. Love to the Turner family

Matty, in his own way, taught everyone who knew him what it means to love and be loved, what it is to simply rest in God’s arms. And God’s loving arms were seen in the love of his Mom and Dad, his brother Sean, his grandparents, and anyone who came to Matty’s house. I’m sure he is joyfully in God’s house now, a place of peace Matty will recognize right away. Run in joy Matty. We’ll catch up to you someday.
