Matt, you were an solid guy, a good friend, and you lived life to the fullest. We lost touch over the years, but the memory of us as cadets at St. John's remains strong and vivid as the first day we put on our pads and hit the football field for practice. You will be sorely missed. God bless you and your family at this time. May your light never dim from view.
