Matt's spirit lives on in everyone who knew and loved him. He was a remarkable person who always cared for others and would help wherever and whenever needed.
We're here for you Lee, and family, to help, to listen and to care.

You were never one to not have a smile on your face no- matter what was going on. You were an AMAZING father to all of your children.I think the one thing that I loved so much about you was; you made my bff the happiest she has been in a VERY LONG time. We will all miss you so much, just make sure you keep your eye on all of them from up there.

Matt...you will truly be missed. Your energy and humor was always infectious. I remember shooting hoops with you and Travis, wishing I could be that good! Also, going to the Afton race track to watch cousin Matt and his racecar. Erik and I talked and bragged about you a lot. There are so many memories of you that will never be forgotten. Let's Go METS!

Your family is in my thoughts and prayers and I send my deepest sympathy for your loss. Remembering the adorable little boy who always had a smile and was always so kind. It sounds like he became a wonderful adult loved and respected by all, not surprising. I cannot imagine the pain you must feel, but feel certain that Matt is now smiling down from Heaven.

He's so soft and gentle with words that always made me know he meant what he said;and the next thing you'd know he could make me laugh until it hurt. Our two families had the best times growing up, the simple life was so good. What we didn't have in money we well made up for in fun,love and great memories. To have had him in our life's for a short time is far greater than to never of had him at all. We'll always love you Matt.

Matt was well liked, well respected, and well regarded. He was in receipt of all this because he gave so much. Matt's character exemplified the reasons why so many people cherish growing up and living in small towns. To borrow a line from the movie "It's a Wonderful Life", Matt was the richest man in Mount Upton.

What do you say about something like this? Matt you will not be forgotten. You had a way about you that made things always seem good. Even as the little guy who had to have heart surgery, you still smiled and didn't let that slow you down.
Kathy & Dan & family you have each other to help heal and most of all the good memories of Matt.
Love to you all!

Wow, what a long list of friends, family and loved one. I knew Matt when he was a student-athlete for those early GMU basketball teams. And later when we would do the Tri-Valley Championships on WCDO, we could count on All-Star Automotive to be a proud sponsor. That's when I would get to chat a bit with Matt. It is evident Matt touched so many in such a heartwarming fashion and in a too-short 38 years. Amazing and humbling.

My most fondest memories of Matt is him bringing his daughter Cassie into my classroom every morning at the childrens center. He always had a smile and made me feel good about everything i did with Cassie. He trusted me with her and he was always so happy that cassie and my son kyle were together at the childrens center and were so close. I love you Matt and I was so looking forward to meeting you in the spring so kyle and cassie could play togther again. I really dont even know what happened. I just found out... god bless you and i hope you have found peace and happiness in heaven.
