I knew Matt as a neighbor and friend, and recently learned of his passing. Very sad to hear, he was a very generous and friendly person. Matt - you will be missed. I'll cherish the memories and will always appreciate the friendship over the years. RIP buddy.

Matt and I played a couple in one of the first films ever did. And we hit it off so well; a gymnast and a dancer together!!!
Such a beautiful soul. You will be missed.

There was never a time that I was in the presence of Matt Bailey from Tulsa Oklahoma that he failed to keep me laughing. God speed friend.

Matt was the sweetest man and a good person with a heart of gold. He was a great actor and so so funny. But mostly I remember his compassion and how real he was. He happened to be my first scene partner in class after my mom had passed and oh my gosh Matt you helped me through it! Oh yeah and your hand stands in class!
I am honored to have known you. You will be remembered Matt Bailey.

Matt had this amazing way of making everyone raucously laugh, and he always had a collaborative and inclusive attitude. His generous spirit and hilarious wit will be missed in the Dallas Film Community, especially in the hearts of those he touched.

Incredibly sad to learn this news today. I will always remember Matt as a talented, witty actor, a wildly strong gymnast, but most of all, a guy with a kind heart who truly cared deeply for people.
RIP Matt.
