Dear Tammy,
I just found out today about Matt's passing. I am so very sorry. He was a good friend and dedicated teacher. I was thinking about him this week with Hurricane Irma and how the Caloosa people came to your house to salvage whatever we could. He will be missed and in our hearts forever,
Love,
Bobbie Henderson

To Mr Booth family.

We just found out today on the first day of virtual school that your husband/father passed. We are so sorry for your loss. From my experiences with him, he was a good man. We are also grateful for his service to our country. He was my daughters 9th grade history teacher.

May God bless all of you at this very difficult time with peace of mind and heart. I had the privilege to work with Matt years ago and was always impressed with his professionalism and steady, calm approach to our students. There is a special place in heaven for our nation's heroes - and as a veteran, Matt was certainly one of those.

With respects,

LTC (Ret) Erich and Rachel Boerner

I know you have probably heard it said by many. But I need to tell you what a very special teacher your Matthew was. He was engaging with kids who didn't want to be there. He listened and offered understanding, solutions and help to students and parents. I feel fortunate that our family crossed paths with him a couple times in recent years. He cared and was interested. He made a real difference! My heart is so heavy for you, his family. His absence will be felt by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

Coach Booth led an inspiring life. He touched so many. I know that as for me he made an impact in the short time he coached my son. What I gained from him is to get down to the kids level sometimes. Its where you will make the greatest impact in a childs life. Thank you Coach. Thank you Tammy for sacrificing your husband's time so that he can coach my son. Nate you have so much of your dad already in you. You all will be in my prayers.

My heart goes to Matt's family. He was like a brother to me over the last 10 years. Between coaching, fishing, and just hanging of with our families, he was truly my best friend. He will be missed.

Matt will be missed deeply. I worked with Matt 5 years at Caloosa Middle School. He was a good friend and Mentor to many of the Boys that he coached for Basketball. My condolence to his Wife and Kids. I watched them grow up from when they were very young in Elementary school. Matt rest in peace....

Coach Booth was a terrific teacher and developer of young kids. Words cannot express the loss that we feel. Youth basketball lost one of the best out there, and the rest of us lost an amazing person --Coach Brad, Justin, Travis, and Sandra Heinrichs

It was my good fortune to teach next door to Matt for a few years at Island Coast. Matt was always happy, welcoming to his students and they loved him. I am blessed to still hear his wonderful deep voice. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
