Matt was one of my very best freinds. We went fishing all the time. He loved to come over and watch movies with me or listen to some country music. I miss him. My prayers go out to his family and all of his friends. Matt was the kindest person I have ever known.

Matt was always such a fun and funny guy to hang out with. I don't think I can think of him without it bringing a smile to my face. We hadn't talked in a couple years but, I have always thought of him as more then family but, also one of my best friends growing up. I miss him very much. I love you guys and my prayers are with you.



I Love You Matt.

Words cannot express how we feel. Matt was more than just a close friend to April, he was also a good friend of ours. I not only knew him personally but worked with him while he lived here. We will miss him dearly. Know that our prayers will be with you always. "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart".
