I first met Matt when I was a child. I was a friend of one of his daughters. He was a big piece of my childhood along with his wonderful family. The summers on the lake he cherished with his family, he welcomed others into his home with open arms. From tubing, swimming, Fourth of July gatherings, and meals at JJ´s grill on the lake. He always treated me like one of his own kids. He was a true gentleman who loved to share what he could with those around him. His kindness and welcome spirit will always be a memory I cherish. He will be truly missed and I am so thankful I was able to know him and will remember him and his kindness forever. I pray for comfort for his family. Thank you Mathew, you did more for me than you know.
