How could someone so important to me be so important to so many others. I knew Matt for over 40 years during which he always made time for me and made me feel special. He was a great, kind human being who made everyone he knew feel better about themselves. There´s a part of me that will always be sad because he´s not here any more.

I remember Matt from the ball field. He played for Mercury Van Lines, which my father owned, and was everything a young man should be. Competitive but the right way, got the most out of what God gave him, no question Tim and the rest of the family will miss him a great deal.

Matt was truly a special person. His personality was contagious as he was always cheery. He was very knowable in his job at ATU. I enjoyed him sharing stories of his trips to various locations. He will be missed but not forgotten.

Matt was one of the good guys. His kindness, friendly nature, and sense of humor were wonderful gifts he had. I´m going to miss him very much. If you were still here I would have one question for you. Got a key? Rest in peace my friend.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Matt and his family. He will be remembered by his ATU family for the many hours he spent in our history room at conventions taking time to answer any questions asked. His smile, kind and positive attitude was appreciated by those who knew him.

Uncle Matt was one of a kind. He will be dearly missed by everyone. If you knew Uncle Matt you knew never ending love, strength and happiness. He cared so deeply of everyone especially his family and extended family. I love you Uncle Matt and will miss you dearly. Praying for the days ahead. He will be watching over us all.

Matt's Ashburton round 2 friends are saddened to hear of his death. We loved the time we spent with him when he came back to Ashburton to work as a paraeducator. He brought kindness and understanding to the students, always a positive word to the staff and was a pleasure to be with. Many of us formed quick close bonds with him and he made an impact on all of us. What a man! My condolences to his beloved family. Marney Jacobs

I'll always remember Matt as being a wonderful employee of ATU. It was a pleasure knowing Matt. He was very professional in his IT work for ATU, but, I'll
always remember his very jolly personality and his love for his family. He often talked about the big family trips they went on with his brothers and their friends. He also loved his mom. I will miss that smile and him coming through the office snapping his fingers and saying peachy. RIP Matt and take your wings.

So very sorry to hear the news of Matt's passing. We were close friends from his earliest days at the ATU, and worked closely together on the COPE programs and efforts to update the ATU membership systems. Ultimately despite his best efforts the PC systems won out over the mainframe. We spent a memorable time during the 1992 convention, sharing the same table for meals. It was then I learned of his penchant to cut all his food into bite size pieces, before eating! He had a tough job maintaining the systems in the face of few who knew anything about the ASA 400. He did love baseball, and I can still see him in full uniform exiting the ATU at 4:45 to join his team. He was warm, direct, a realist and brilliantly organized, with every aspect of his work laid out in a growing stack of notebooks. He spoke often of his two children MIchael and Lane who he adored. The ATU was made stronger because of his untiring efforts and I will miss him. So very sorry to learn of struggles with ALS. My deepest sympathies and condolences to Matt's family.

Matt was one-of-a-kind. Always cheerful, always kind. He celebrated every life he came in contact with. He always enjoyed your company as much as you enjoyed his. He could talk about the great questions of life, as well as laugh at the simple absurdities around us. Like so many, he was my friend. I will never forget him.
