I am so glad we got to know Matt over the last couple of years. He was such a joy to be around. He always had a smile on his face, kind words to say, and a helping hand to give. Our heartfelt condolences to Matt's son, his mother, and his siblings. Until we see him again, he will be missed. Ramon & Mary Zamora
