Matty - thank you for bringing so much joy to our lives. You were truly one-of-kind, had a heart of gold, contagious laugh, and that smile - it melted hearts, seriously. You were such an amazing uncle to my boys (we promise to talk about Uncle Matty daily), an incredible friend to me and to Derrick, you were everything he could ask for in a friend. Thank YOU for being a loyal friend to him for all these years. There are so many things I am going to miss about you, Matty. Our lives will never be the same without you in it, but I promise to live life honoring the exceptional man you were every single day. I hope you are finally at peace. Until we meet again, love you always, Kelly xo

Brother, you are one of the best people I have ever had the privilege to even meet. Let alone, hang out with you everyday (all day, in a way, because of NHL online). The times joking and talking about legit everything is something I will cherish and hold on to the rest of my life. Love you man. Until we meet again... Grab your sticks

Matt, I pray you found what peace you were looking for my friend. I am very happy you were an almost weekly fist bump and hug at the gym. I will never, ever, step into the gym again and not think of Muscle Matt and your latest nick name, GEO Matt. You will be forever missed.
