Matt's irreverent joyfulness and unique view of the world made a permanent mark on my own way of sensing life. His humor, his art, his love of music shine always. My heart goes out to his family. I will play one of his mix tapes from our C&TM days and smile at his artwork on my wall, and always remember that life is beautiful...Matt was always great at illuminating that. Miss you, Buddy...

Though I was not close with Matt, he was always a great guy in school. I know his friends adored him and have fond memories they hold dear. May the Lord be with his family & friends in this time of sadness. May He bring them peace. May Matts memory forever be stamped on the hearts he has touched.
