Dearest Matt,
Our feet trod the same path decades ago. You were such a help to me with tasks I had been assigned. Your smile was sunshine and your laugh was inherent mischief. I loved the hours we spent playing Tony Hawk on the PlayStation and the trips we would take with all the kids.
I thought about you often and still do, hoping you were able to find the thing you were always looking for.
Til we meet again, buddy.

Matt , though I only knew him for a short time, his presence is missed. His soul was kind and caring. I met Matt when visiting my mom one day. He spent hours at my moms talking to her, showing pictures of his buddies and himself in military fatigues. My mom misses the clunk of his boot walking up the upstairs and his soft knock at her door. My condolences to Matt´s family and loved ones.
