He loved his new home and loved being there with his mom. That was his happy place. There as well as Taco Bell and Hardee's. He loved good food.

I love you Matt. I don't know how to go on without you. You are everything to me and always will be my saving grace.

Matthew was the best person I ever knew. He was loyal, loving, and good hearted. I wish he knew how much of a impact he made on my life. He believed in living life to the fullest and had a spirit that no one else could compare to. I truly wish he got to finish his life goals but now in spirit he will. My hearts overcome with sadness with him gone. But my memories will live on forever.
