Matthew Paul Roten

I first met Matt at Clayton County Fire as a rookie, and although we initially only shared military service and a dark sense of humor, our bond grew stronger over time. As I got to know him better, he became not just a mentor, but also a dear friend.

It was evident that Matt prioritized his family above all else, and his genuine concern for others was palpable whenever we responded together to medical calls. He had a remarkable ability to connect with people and make a positive impact on their lives.

His presence will forever be cherished, and his absence deeply felt. Matt, you will be remembered and dearly missed.

In school after he got his braces. All the girls went crazy. Rest in paradise buddy.
