Matt was one of my "boys" at Texas Electrical. I saw him every morning with a smile on his face and he always had a pleasant good morning for all. We will all miss him.

I have worked with Matt at Texas Electrical for the past 16 months, I will certainly miss him walking into the office in the afternoons with a grin on his face and not knowing what he was going to say to me. He always made me chuckle. Memories of Matt will go on for a lifetime. My heart breaks at his passing and my prayers are with the family at this time.

I've worked with Matt since 2006 for two companies. We hung out a handful of times outside of work which allowed me to meet his awesome wife and hear his son's band play in Deep Ellum. At our first company I would regularly go outside with him on his smoke break (even though I don't smoke) just for the entertaining conversations we would have. Matt was a great guy to know. You could be having the worst day and he somehow always managed to turn it around. He'll be missed greatly.

I worked with Matt for several years at 1000bulbs.com, there was never a day he didn't have a smile on his face. He was so friendly & always had positive things to say to help us get through the day. He spoke highly of both his family and his church family. He will be greatly missed & will never be forgotten. Praying for his family during this time.

Matt was one of the friendliest people I know, with a smile and firm handshake every time I saw him. May he rest in peace while my thoughts and prayers go out to all of his loved ones. He will be greatly missed.

Matthew, my brother, was the funniest person I know. He always made me laugh when I was around him and I cherish the times I had with him. I loved him dearly. Everyone loved him dearly.
Due to extreme sadness...I cannot find the words to describe how much he will be missed. There are not enough words to describe how special my brother was. Matthew was one of a kind.
God Bless you all. And rest in peace Matthew. I love you and miss you so much. Robbianne Jackson. forever your sister
