My brother was an amazing person. So creative and artistic. I was blessed everytime I was able to catch him playing his beautiful music. He had such a wonderful sense of humor, acting goofy and trying to make everyone around him laugh. There was definitly a specialness to him, that just can't be described. Matt was my best friend as a kid, and though we grew apart, I loved him more than he ever knew. I will miss and love you always, lil bro!

My most vivid memories of Matt are when he was a little guy. He was sweet and kind and gentle and very cute! He and Megan got along well. They were buds - only a little over 2 months apart in age. People thought they were twins and we had fun playing along with that. I also remember a time when Deb commented to me that she thought Matt would be a preacher one day. Do you remember that? Well, he is with the Father of all preachers now. Sitting at His feet, full of joy and happiness we can't even imagine. He is healed and perfect! Your loss is Heaven's gain and I am so deeply sorry for your loss.
