Matt was a light that will never dim. He brought joy, love and laughter to everyone and every situation. He loved to spend time with his family and was the light of every party. His Laugh, smile and energy will be missed by all who ever met him. Through everything Matt faced thought-out his life, he never complained, held resentment or anger.
