So sad to hear about Matt´s passing. Just found late in the afternoon of the 19th. I knew Matt years ago while at East Coast. He always had a smile and twinkle in his eye when we would hang out.
My prayers go to his family. Reading this OBT seems as he found love in his family and what was labeled as future family. That makes my heart glad.

I am so sorry to hear of Matthew's death. He was a good friend at Northside Jr High in Greenwood. I had no idea where he moved and I missed him tremendously afterward. Wish I had kept in touch with him after graduation. My condolences to his family.
