I'm sorry to hear of the loss of such a sweet individual as Matt. He made everyone smile and laugh when getting his coffee every morning at Belk. We fought everyday about who's turn it was to bring breakfast. Belk is not the same without him. Words can't express my deepest sympathy. Matt you will truly be missed.

I'm going to miss that smiling face. White chocolate was a special person here at Belk and he kept us smiling and going. God bless you and your family in the time of your sorrow.

Mr. Steve, Words can not express all the time what our hearts would like to say. Matt knew how to make you laugh even at 5 o'clock in the morning at work. I always made sure the coffee pot was never empty when it came to you and him. The coffee pot will never be the same because Matt fingerprints will no longer be on it. We all here at Belk are praying for your family. May you find peace and comfort in each other. Be Bless and hope to see you soon.

For those of you who didn't have the greatest honor of meeting my cousin Matt, he was the most caring and fun person I have known. He always had a smile on his face. We spent a lot of our childhood swinging off the garage ( I was always too chicken and they let me know it : ) and hanging out in the tree house or the woods. Riding dirt bikes and go carts and climbing trees. Whatever we were doing we were always having fun and those are memories I will cherrish for the rest of my life. To Matt: Your life was cut too short and I never got to say goodbye but I know your spirit is in heaven now watching over all of us with that smile on your face. Goodbye.. I love and miss you so much.
