Mere words cannot even begin to express the depth of my sorrow, or my sympathy to Matt's family. I got to know Matt well while he lived at my house for a couple of months, when he and my son Aaron had formed a blues duo. He had so much talent! They would practice in my son's room, and it was magical to hear. I have a couple of videos of them performing at an open mic night, and will post one of them here for you. Matt was a pure soul - an old soul, as he liked to say - and I will miss him and think of him always. He also loved his family dearly, that much I know beyond any doubt; and from my conversations with his dad Elvis, I also know that his family loved him fiercely, and strived to always do right by him. My heart aches for each and every one of you. I am not going to pretend that I know what you're going through to lose a child, because I don't. However, I will say that I am here for you if you need me, as you make this tragic journey. May peace find you all.
