I HAVE KNOWN MATT FOR MANY YEARS. HE TRAVELED ON OUR MANY BUS TRIPS TO AC AND ALSO BECAME A CO-WORKER AT NYE'S. NEVER A DULL MOMENT WHEN HE WAS AROUND. I WILL MISS THE FIRECRACKERS BEING RIGGED IN THE BATHROOM AND ALL THE PRACTICAL JOKES HE WOULD PULL, BUT I WILL HOLD THESE FOND MEMORIES OF HIM AND NOT BE SAD, BECAUSE I AM SURE MATT WOULD ONLY EVERYONE TO LAUGH AND HAVE FUN. RIP MATT. GOD WILL BE WITH YOU AND ALL YOUR FAMILY.
