Just heard of your passing yesterday, dear soul. My heart is broken. I remember the first time I ever saw you was on the steps in our house. Others were around you but you seemed to stand out in the crowd. Rest in God´s arms now, my friend. Watch over your loved ones until you´re together again.

My condolences for your loss. I only knew Matt a short time in high-school. But he had a way about him like few do. Always said what he was thinking and a master at making any comedic connection he could for the topic at hand. Though I've not thought of Matt in many years the loss you're feeling is not yours alone to bear. This world needs more like him. To lose him so young seems a harsh toll for anyone whom had the pleasure to meet him. My prayers for those who feel his absence.

I had the privilege of knowing Matt the majority of my life. He was truly a one of a kind person. He would always listen to anything one would have to say and always willing to help talk through it. He was one of my closest friends. I called him brother at all times because he infact was very much extended family and alway had a place no matter where I was. Nothing but love Matt.

I enjoyed working with Matt. He enjoyed his work and all of us who worked with him. I will miss his smile, his laugh and his dedication to his work. Rest easy my friend.
