Dearest Matt,

You were the rose to our stems,

and the light of our day.When I was sad you always made me happy weather it be over the phone or in person you always made me laugh.You were the only person I knew who could make a person go from sad to happy in less than 3.2 seconds.thanks for doing that everyday for the 2 1/2 years we spent together.I will never forget the last words we said to eachother not to long ago(I love you and always will)not only do I remember those words but I remember how I felt when we said them to eachother.I still have those feelings inside of me when I say my prayers at night.And again say those words to you I LOVE YOU AND ALWAYS WILL.

you'll be in my heart forever

love always haylee



P.S.CATCH SOME FIREFLIES FOR ME AND SAVE THEM FOR ME UNTIL I GET THERE.

I think that next to my brother, you were one of the biggest pains I've ever known! But, with the torture you handed out, you also handed out so much laughter. You were one of the funniest people I've ever known in real life, and I'll love you always!

Matt,

Where could I possibly begin to express a lifetime of memories we shared! From the Early days in Commerce City to Cruisin on 38th. From our trips to the Mountains and Our Battles on the Breakdancing Floor. We did It all! We at times Laughed so hard we Cried and others - Cried so hard we had to Laugh. We were seperated too soon! You were always there for me and my family. My Kids Loved you and I promise to always be there for yours! We will treat them as if they were our own! I have your back! I will look after your babies (Forever) I love and will miss you till we can meet again...

Rest in Peace Cousin

Matt,

All I can say, is that you are loved by everyone that knew you. I have always looked up to you, ever since I was a little girl. Now I will forever look up to you in Heaven, and pray that you keep us all well and safe. Kiss my Grandpa for me! I will see you some day, but for now, I love you and will miss you very much.



Love You Always,

A friend of mine that met Matthew only once said to me He seems to bring out the best in everyone around him. Matt did just that! He was a joker and a consoler. He knew how to make us laugh and he knew how to be there for us when we couldn't laugh. He will be missed by so many.

Matt, you were always a very upbeat person. You were always very respectful to me. You always made me feel like part of the family. You seemed very patient, kind and were an outgoing person. I still remember you break dancing! Take Care, Matt. Love, Aunt Pam

I will always remember his great smile, and how he never seemed to be in a bad mood. He always treated me with respect. and made me feel like i was special, which i hope i was. All I can think is the good Lord needed a great handyman for a very special job. I Love You & Forever Will Miss You
