I grew up with Matt on Bell Mtn. There was a long path through the woods(made by our little feet)from my backyard to his. On that path we would set up bottles & cans to perfect our aim with our homemade slingshots. Later we would talk alot about music & play very little guitar. We used to make each other laugh at our poor attempt at humor. Later in life our paths would cross time and time again and we would refresh our memories. My wife had the pleasure of meeting Matt when they ended up working for the same construction company years later and she would get to appreciate my childhood friend as much as I did. I'm sorry our paths didn't cross more often and we will both miss him. Deepest condolences to all.

Your Dad was and still is proud of the fine men you have all become. His outgoing personality, his willingness to help everyone he met and his love of family are the things i will always remember about him. Taken too soon. My wife and I send our prayers and condolences.
