God saw you getting tired a cure was not to be. He put his arms around you and whispered "come with me". With tearful eyes we watched you fade away. Although we love you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
Matty is gone to soon and will be missed.
Darren & Karen
One of the many memorable nights at Matt's!

Matt, you will be missed dearly. The fun never stopped whenever you were around. Thanks for all of the fun memories; I'll never forget all of the fun we had celebrating Johnna and Luke's anniversary at Darien Lake and the concert, along with all the fun nights at your house. Thanks for all the sesame seed bagels toasted with turkey, american cheese, and lettuce, and for never making me take my ID out when I came to Rileys. We love you and will miss you more than words can say. Rest In Peace.
