Still miss ya kid!!! I would give anything to hear you & Jay playing a rock band in the car with you playing drums on whatever you find. Annoying me like no tomorrow. You may be gone but definitely will never be forgotten...we loved you then, still and always.

Some people leave your life but always stay in your heart .. That is the case with Matt...he had a special kind of charm no one could replicate . He will definitely entertain the heavens when he skates in and flashes that big smile he had!! May god bless your family in your time of loss ...

My sympathy goes out to all family members. I only knew him from Band at MHS (a Band parent), but he was always polite to me, which wasn't always the case for kids of that age. So sorry to hear about this.
