I remember when I had first moved to Knoxville Matt was the first person to be nice to me and my daughter. He tried to do her hair he did a good job. I am so sorry for your loss he will be missed.

I was shocked to hear of matt's passing. We've been friends for ten or more years. I will always remember his smile and how his eyes would sparkle when he laughed. My heart felt sympathy goes to his family and all that loved him. He will not be forgotten by all his friends in Knoxville. Many are saddened that we have losted a wonderful friend.
