I met Matthew in Jerusalem and we connected immediately. He lived a passionate life. I'm so sorry for his family's loss. May his memory be blessing.

So sad! I knew Melech from Yeshiva in Yerushalayim. May his soul find peace in the world of souls so close to G-d and may he rise soon with the revival of the dead.
With much love,
His friend E.E.

I am shocked and greatly saddened by the news of Mel's sudden passing. I got to know Mel through his work with Christine Cook, and his compassion, gentle ways, and off-beat sense of humor truly resonated with me. He helped me a great deal in my own struggles in life. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and colleagues.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you. I am deeply sorry for your loss. Although I only worked with Mel for a short period of time, you could tell that he was a very caring person with a big heart. Mel will be missed...

I am deeply saddened at the loss of such a lovely person. Mel had a big heart and a wonderful sense of humor. He had a very easy time connecting with his patients and they all loved him. He was very committed to his education and worked diligently to get his licensing hours (LCSW) with me.
His passion for music, people, and recovery was obvious. I will never forget his big smile and the sound of his laugh, which often was like a giggle. His passing so young is a huge loss for everyone, including his family and the recovery community. You will missed, Mel, rest in peace.
