My nephew, Matthew, had the most caring and tender heart, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving him, was well aware of that fact. Our hearts are so very sad for this tragic loss, but our Heavenly Father is holding us in His loving arms and comforting us in ways we could never have imagined. Our memories of Matt will bring us joy until we see him again in Heaven.

The class of NLHS 1997 will miss Matt. He was a very unique & eclectic soul who is now with the angels. He was always a sweet spirit to be around and one of the smartest people we knew. RIP Classmate

Matt was a very beloved nephew and we will miss him; however, we know He is with the Lord Jesus and his precious grandparents, Carroll & Anna Laura Brisco so, for him, it is a joyful time. "We'll will see you, again, Matt, and never have to say 'goodbye'".
