I never met Mat in person but over the last 10+ years, we spent hundreds of hours talking and playing games and I came to know him as a friend. I was devastated to find out he's gone. I'm going to miss him so much.

I am so sorry for your loss. Matt was a wonderful person and I have only the fondest of memories of our time at HTS and Mercy/Xavier. When he was in 7th grade (and I in 8th) we shared a desk in Mrs Bailey’s classroom and would leave notes to each other to find when we switched classrooms. He was a great friend to me growing up and I know he will be dearly missed by all those fortunate enough to know him. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Please accept my deep and sincere condolences. Mat has always been a star in my mind. He will certainly now shine from the heavens upon us. Mat took great care of us at Specialty Cable Corporation. His talent, sincereness & witty ness will be sorely missed forever. I’ll certainly be going forward thinking “What Would Mat Do” (WWMD)? Mat was not only a co-worker but also a friend, teammate, little brother and big brother all wrapped up smartly. I Love You Mat & will miss You forever. To all that knew & loved Mat, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m so sorry
