I was shocked and saddened to hear about Matt. We were close friends at Conner High School, and dated a few times after high school. Matt was a great guy, and a true gentelman. I will always remember his smile, and his laugh. He made everybody happy around him. My deepest sympathy and prayers goes to his family for their loss.

I have been on holiday in Vietnam for a month, so I apologize for the late entry. He had a way of making people laugh and smile. He was an asset to Conner marching band. Rest peacefully Matt.

I was sorry to hear about the sudden loss of Matthew and especially sorry for the loss to his family and friends. It is very difficult to understand why this has happened but for those who know the Lord, we will see him again. The "why" will no longer matter then. For right now, your help comes from the Lord in these times. Rest in Peace Matt. You are with our Lord now.
