Dear Family-
I was Matt's teacher at Villa Maria college when he was there - he was in two of my studio classes. I just found out he passed away. I am so saddened. I have to say he was one of my favorite and most memorable students of my many years of teaching. So talented, thoughtful, funny, a lovely young man. I send you my dearest thoughts and wishes and will have the fondest memories of him.

Hi Lori -- again, if there is ANYTHING we can do, please let us know. Even though we only knew Matthew thru the Sabres' games, I feel like we've lost someone so special, too.

I went to high school with Matt at Niagara Catholic, he dated my friend Liz Longin and I got to know him through her. He was so artistically talented and I remember watching him in the art class we shared for inspiration. He was so unbelievably kind. He always watched out for Liz and all of us..and I know he will continue to look after his undoubtedly wonderful family. My prayers are with you <3

Dear Marin Family,
Although I never had pleasure of working with Matthew in my classes, I fondly remember seeing Matt with his friends on the third floor of the Rockefeller Arts Building. We are a close-knit community of students, faculty and staff who cherish the time we had with Matt and are thankful for the privilege of having him in our company for a few years. I will pray for your family in hopes that you can find some peace amongst your sadness.

Dear Marin family,
I am so sorry to hear of Matt's death, and I will send a notice to Fredonia graphic design alumni so that more of his classmates can be informed. He is remembered fondly by many of us.
Matt was a fun student to work with; always taking a unique approach to his work and never afraid to push the boundaries and try something new. I enjoyed having him in my classes and it is a shame to lose someone so creative at such a young age.
My thoughts are with your family in this difficult time.

Dear Marin family:
My deepest regret is that I didn't get a chance to continue getting to know Matt...in the short times I spent with him, he constantly made me laugh, and I'll always remember that! Matt was like a brother to Mike, Jake, and Josh, and a son to Aunt Becky- your family has always been close with mine, and I can only pray that family will help get you through this. Since I was regretfully not able to come home, please let me express my heartfelt condolences over your loss here...my thoughts are absolutely and constantly with you all.

Matt and I used to play Ninja Turtles on the school playground when we were younger. I remember when my cousin (Heather Pawlukowski) would babysit him, he would call me on the phone and pretend to be one of the turtles.
Years later, Matt and I were reunited, as we had many of the same friends.
Matt has always been a special person, and I wish Dan and the rest of your family the strength to get through this tough period.
