I am still in disbelief and very shocked, Matt was a great friend, he was one of the very first friends I made when I moved to blue river! We had so much fun together, he was always very considerate and would do anything to help someone who was having a hard time. He also was amazing with my 2 children, including teaching my son to skate board! You will be miss by so many! You truly touched my heart! Fly high bro!! RIP BEAR CUB! Gone but never forgotten!

I'm still in such complete shock. I still don't want to believe it. Saying goodbye to you today was so hard. Seeing the family hurting so bad killed me. Ever since we met in 5th grade we have found a million ways to pester and support each other throughout our lives. I hope you are at peace. You were such a good friend to so many people and you brought endless smiles to all of our faces. You will forever be loved and missed. I'm truly sorry life for me got in the way of us catching back up recently. Fly high man and rest easy. 🙏
