Matty had the best energy and he always looked out for his friends and family. Some of my best experiences in Philly were with Matt and he helped me emotionally through more than I ever got to thank him for. I´m deeply saddened by the news of his passing and I´m sorry that we didn´t keep in touch as much. Thank you Matty for everything. Rest in peace friend.

I first met Matt on a trip to Puerto Vallarta. He was so much fun and showed so much love for his family. He was a man taken much to early from this world and will be sadly missed by his family and friends. Our hearts go out to Kathy, Andy and Todd during this difficult time. Char and Garry

Matt was one of a close knit of Mountain Lakes friends who would find their way to our home.
A true bright light with great wit that old folks (parents of that gang) enjoyed. A one of a kind character.
God bless him

Matthew had a boundless energy for life, and his smile and bubbly personality were infectious! One couldn´t help but smile the minute he entered a room.
Sending love and warmth to all who adored this man. He was loved and he will be missed.

My deepest condolences to the family. I went to high school with Matt. He had the kindest soul, an ear to ear smile that I´ll never forget, and that gold car you could spot from a mile away. He will be truly missed. Sending strength and many prayers.
Sincerely,
Brielle Miller (Loughran)
