We are Friends for around 30 years. I left the Area when I was 19 years old but we stayed in touch. We had Fun together...not many tears unless they were tears of laughing so hard...made up for those tears of sorrow over the last 4 days. I can Go on and on and on about our times together and with friends....but I will leave with this...We both grew up because it was God's Will...He loved his Family and Friends Dearly and was a Loving Husband and Dad indeed. We are All Not Perfect and We All Walk in Different Shoes. The Past is History, The Future is a Mystery, Each Day Every Moment We Have Here is a Gift That's Why it is Called the Present...May God Bless and Bring Peace and Comfort to His Wife and Children and Siblings and All who Mourn for Him....May God Have Mercy on his Soul. Rest In Peace My Friend

Dear Lisa and Family, So sorry for your loss. Matt was a kind and gentle man. For the short time I got to know Matt as we worked together, I knew him as a devoted Husband and Father to his family and he always spoke about his family and how much he loved you all. May gods peace and love be with the entire family as you grieve this sudden loss.
