You will be missed Matt. I remember the good ole days back at Mercy. You were and are a kind soul who loved to laugh. Keep them smiling and entertain them with your harmonica in heaven. Prayers for your family and friends that are left behind. To them, always remember the good times you shared to keep Matt alive in your hearts.

Matt will be missed...he touched my life through his friendship.
He attended my Yoga class for many years and I always looked forward to seeing his smiling face, hearing about his day. He loved life and brought joy to many. I hope he is practicing his yoga poses in heaven...Namaste Matt

Such sad news for so many! He was greatly admired and certainly an entertainer! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Blues Handle especially when Matt was playing the harmonica!
