Matt lived upstairs from me as a freshman at the Univ of Colorado. We shared a love of the Grateful Dead. He was a good friend and an honest business man.

Welcome to my world! World of events and tuxedos, -you said to me at our wedding.
Matthew, life with you was my new college of life. I never forget how you said to me - We are going to put our broken peace's together and make our new life and our own Family. You always was good with wording. The way how you spoke and act - all was classy, sometimes crazy, but Beautiful! The way how you lived your life - dream of so many. I loved you for being strait, fast, honest, smart and extremely kind. You were my best friend and soulmate!
I use to say - nobody can spoiled me, but you did. I had a great ride with you for almost 15 years, even with all those bumps and broken cars on the road, but I want you to know I do not regret not even one minute of it. I love you and everything about you! You are going to be always in my hart.
See you later! Rest In Peace.

I am so blessed to be a part of Matt's life. I first met Matt in Clearwater Beach when he and my mom Inessa came to visit. Being a protective son I was very skeptical of this new man who was quickly gaining my moms heart. But what I found was a man that I quickly admired and respected. I admired Matt for his success, his taste in art, not settling for any less then he expected and the man that he was! I respected Matt for the love that he gave to his family and friends, and how he lived his life his way, doing what he wanted, when he wanted. Matt was about as real as you can get and you always knew where you stood with him. He had a heart of GOLD (pun intended) and would do anything for the people he cared about. He was the life of the party and there was never a dull moment when he was around. I will miss the laughter and the conversations we had about life and watching all the crazy stuff he would buy and do! I mean who runs up to the pope and kisses his hand. Embrace the moments -Matt Gold Thank you for giving Inessa the most amazing years anyone could ask for! For that alone sir you will always be in my heart! Hope you and my dad found each other to share some laughs and a few drinks!!
