Jacob, Kyle, and Zach,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. It was so much fun growing up with a group of brothers who genuinely loved, cared for, and stuck by each other the way you guys did. I'll always remember the fun times at Rockbridge with you guys and I wish you and your family God's blessing during this time.

Thinking of the O'Grady family. Matthew was in "LAW" with my son Ryan MacAdams, and I was the school nurse at EL Wright at that time. Take it one day at a time. Don't allow anyone to dictate how you grieve. We all grieve in our own ways. Hold your memories of Matt close to your heart to sustain you through the tough times.--Dawn MacAdams

I am so grateful to have had what little time I had in high school with Matt. He was an absolutely amazing person, and could make anyone laugh even if they didn't want to. He had a beautiful spirit and a personality that we all grew to love. I cannot even imagine what you are going through, but I wanted to let you know that im forever grateful that he was able to be apart of my life in just 4 years together. I Love You Matt!!!

Jeff and I are heartbroken over the sudden loss of Matt. We loved watching him grow up and play with our kids. Matt was polite and sweet and one day was walking by my house and said, "can we swim in your pool?" We were so happy Matt and his friend were swimming because our kids weren't home. He had a sweet smile and we will miss him. Hugs to the entire OGrady family
