Matthew Robert Novis

So sorry to hear of Matt´s passing, so tragic. Sending love to you all, I wish I could be there for you

Sending Uncle Bob and Aunt Carolyn my heartfelt condolences.

Bob & Carolyn....
We send our love at this very hard time.
The Bible is certainly correct...when it states that we all face unforeseen circumstances and that we all will face critical times hard to deal with.
We love you....
Gary & Judy Gress

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Matty was not only my brother he was truly one of my best friends! His heart was tender and compassionate! Our dogs loved when he would come over! When Allen and I would go out of town I was always comforted in the fact that Matty was watching them, even if he did dub our little pittie "psycho dog"! I could call on Matt any time and we could talk for hours as if we hadn't just seen each other just last weekend up at mom and dad's. The conversations would often bounce around over so many topics, we could've saved the world, but who would listen. To say I will miss him is an understatment of a lifetime, no words can express how deeply he was loved and will be missed, not just by me but our entire family! There will always be a spot at the poker and game table for you bro!

There are so many memories, that it's hard to pick just one. We would reminisce about you terrifying about the gangs coming to get from the park, even though it was a group of kids hanging out. Having to cut the gum out of my hair when you babysit me. Sneaking cherries off a cherry tree from a random back yard after many wall walks.
What I can tell you, you are the reason for so many of my favorite things. I loved my music taste of 90's rap, underground music and heavy metal, because of you. I love the cubs, because you gave me all their baseball cards, now I know why. I love the Chicago Bulls because that is who you liked. My favorite Bible story is Temptation of Jesus, because I had an emotional moment with you about my dad. You were so influential in my life and will always be.
Thank you for being the Uncle Matty that every kid should have had!
