I struggle to find just the right
words. Matt was my nephew, my friend, my confidant,and even @ times my tormentor, but I loved him for these things and more! We could go for months without talking, and then suddenly find ourselves talking for hours. Oh' how I will miss him! I will miss those great big hugs of his that lifted you right off the ground and realigned your back at the same time! I will miss his level of honesty that you seldom see these days. I always new where I stood with him. To Matt family, and loyalty where everything! He loved us all and it showed! Matt would be proud of how strong each and everyone of us has been through this, and will continue to be. My only solace is knowing he is with Our Lord, and his pain is no more. Rest in peace my Dearest Matt.

It breakss my heart to see my Uncle Matt leave me so soon . The moments we shared are irreplacable & unforgettable . We`ve had our smiles , our arguments , our laughs & our tears . But through it all he`s always been here for me & I`ve always been there for him . My Uncle Booger is one in a million . He always made me smile when i needed him most . He`s taught me a lot over all the years & i miss him terribly . He will always remain in my heart through whatever happens . There hasn`t been a day i haven`t thought about him or haven`t missed him . I wished we had more time together . But i know he`s in a better place now . My Uncle Matt is & always has been my blessing in disguise . He is my guardian angel . I love you & I miss you .

Louis, Mary & Salena,

We always take life for granted, what we thought we'd never lose. Because we never thought it would happen,until we heard the dreaded news. They said he was chosen for God's garden like a preciously hand picked bouquet, God really must have needed him, that's why he couldn't stay. Saying Goodbye is never easy, it's the hardest thing to do. But what hurts us the most is not having the chance to say it to you. So today, as Jesus listens to us from above, know that in our hearts you will always be so loved. From the climbing of tree's, to the skinned knee's, you will always be our boy. Remembering all the wonderful times in our lives that you've filled with such joy. So, instead of us saying "Goodbye", a word that seems forever, we will say "see you later", because one day will all be together.
My prayers are with you all!
Love you, Alesia

To his family & fiance - sorry for this tragedy!
He was such a great person.
I'm the niece of his best friend / brother macho. Matt was not just a friend to us he was family. He was an older brother I've never had ... no one will ever compare. I remember the days he would come over when we lived on orange st. Always full of laughter and positive energy!
Although he passed I feel very fortunate & blessed to have had such an incredible person in my life! A person that I could depend on to give me the best advice possible & a person that can take one look at me & tell me exactly what was wrong with out ever speaking a word!
Matt spent this past holiday with our family & I'm happy he did so. He's gone but he will always live on in my memory!
Matt with every tear thar runs down my face its because I'm not only sad thar your gone but happy that your an angel watching down on me & protecting me like you always have! Thank you for being such a good friend & brother figure to macho! He loves you more than words themselves!
Thanks for introducing me to kerri! Ill be here for anything you need kerri & to his family also... R.I.P Matthew. I love you!

Louis, Mary and Selena,

I am at a lost for words. Matt always made us laugh when Louis use to bring him and Selena over our house at Capitol Ave in Hartford. Louis took Matt and Selena everywhere with him in that big blue van when they were kids.
Matt and Selena were so close growing up and were so loved by Mary and Louis. The Floyds are the nicest people we've ever met. We pray for gods love and strength to be with you at this very difficult time, please let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

To Salena and family, I am so sorry for your lost. Salena you are like a sister to me and when we talked on the phone I would always ask you how is your brother, Mom and Dad doing.Just remember god makes no mistakes. I know this is a rough time in life right now but always remember "Weeping may endure for the night, But joy will come in the morning". Salena don't worry about Matt he is in a better place and Momma will take care of him. Momma was waiting at the gate for Matts arrival. To Salena & Family I love you and may god continue to bless and keep you all thru this time.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord.

Matt was my brother and my rock. As much as we fought, I also knew that I could count on him for anything. He always had my backk. He had a huge heart and he was like that for anyone he loved. I'm very sad that you left us soon. But God brought you home because he needs you. Now its time to do his work. I know you are watching ove us and right now and that there's no more pain for you. I will always love you. You may be gone...but you will never, ever be forgotten Bubba.

Your sister,
