Matt was a wonderful, kind, and considerate man. I knew him as a neighbor and he was friendly and always smiling. God bless his family and may you remember him with love and honor. God has chosen to take him from us. I'm sure Matt is still smiling.

I knew Matt as a neighbor, what a sweet and caring man he was, and will always be remembered as such. He was always there to lend a hand, even taught my son Ry to drive a stick shift when he got his 1st car :) May the Lord Bless and comfort his family and hold you all in his arms, We miss you Matt!

My condolences to all the members of the Rupp family. Matt's words, through my brother and long time friend of Matt, Mike Hahn, helped me through my own battle with cancer this year. He is now free of this terrible disease and in the care of Our Lord. God rest his soul.
