He loved spending time with his dogs and was an extremely gifted dog trainer, spending hours in the afternoon with them. A talented craftsman, he could build and fix anything. The craftsmanship shown around his home is a testament to his expertise. He could also "piddle" all day too!

You could also say that the path of his life came out of his rodeo days. An avid outdoorsman, he preferred the outdoors.

Matt was a quiet, honest, and strong man that so many people admired and respected. He didn't waste words and was trusted by many. He would take your secret to the grave.
