Martin Family,
I am deeply saddened to hear of Matt's passing. I could never put in to words how much I love Matt. He was one of the kindest souls I have been blessed enough to know. He could light up a room instantly with his smile and had a laugh that was imcredibly contagious. We often talked and even through the ups and downs, he was constant about his love for his family, his boys, and his friends. No matter what he was going through, he was always there for others if they needed him. Matt's time here was far too short, and his absence will leave an irreplaceable hole in our lives. I will always cherish the moments we shared with Matt and I hope you can find comfort in knowing that he touched many of our lives and left lasting memories as a person who was kind to everyone he met and who loved his family and friends very purely.
