Memories and Condolences

My condolences to Matt's entire family - extended and immediate. I served in the Air Force with Matt in Germany and we grew pretty close. We talked about God and religion often and took many trips together - most memorably camping in Switzerland, singing entire Beatles albums out loud all the way there and back. I had lost touch with him since, but we just got back in contact recently and his loss weighs heavily with me. The friendship forged remains, and the awesome memories will be with me forever. I will miss my brother as will the entire community of people that were touched by him. Matt was a beautiful creation and a wonderful strong man. God bless you all.

Although I never met Matthew, one of my 1st cousins, I'm sure he was a great friend to many and will be sadly missed by all the ones he has touched in his life. My deepest thoughts and prayers go out to Aunt Pat and Uncle Butch and the entire McGraw family.

A great talent has been silenced.
He was truly blessed with a special gift...a gift that many have strived for but never attained. Matt did. His music will go on..his life will continue to be celebrated. I love you Matt.
