It was a honor to work with someone with such great determination and drive. I will miss our track days and hanging out talking shop. It saddens me to lose a friend so young and in the prime of life. Matt will be dearly missed by all who had the great fortune to know him.

It was an honor to race your bike and be a part of you accomplishing what you did Matt, and most of all to call you a friend. Glad we got to spend the time together that we did this summer, I will really miss you bro.

To The Family and Friends of Matt:

I am a fellow martial artist, massage therapist and friend of Matts via our massage therapy class we shared. I only knew him for a short time these last 2 years, but i can say from what i saw he was a outstanding young man, giving, kind, compassionate, and driven, to name just a few qualities. I and my fellow classmates will miss him dearly, our deepest sympathies

Dearest Matt was such a fine young man. He was part of my massage class at Honshin Kan Dojo on the recommendation of his Aikido Sensei Jay Callender. He excelled and was always attentive, helpful, always inquisitive in a positive manner.
Matt came to many of the massage class members during an evening dinner and expressed his wishes to build his bike business. A few members, especially Bob Lindburg, assisted him with business ideas and Matt ran with them and began to succeed. We were so happy to see this positive change and saw him feel happy at the improvement in business.
I personally considered Matt to be family and came to care a great deal for him. He came to my home for a visit one time and we discussed many topics close to him. I know Matt was devastated by the loss of his mom and I got to see him come to grips with that one step at a time.
I will miss him tremendously and am still in a state of shock over his demise.
My strongest heartfelt sympathies go to his family at this time and want them to know he impacted many of us in such helpful and positive ways.
May God take him close to his bosom and comfort Matt at this time and I know he is reunited with his mom and they both are smiling from Heaven right now
