It's been 9 years Matt. 9 years and it still feels like we lost you just yesterday. You were such a big part of this family and still very much are. Every single one of us miss you very much every day. I watched you grow from a boy, to a man, to a wonderful father and husband. You loved your boys so much too. You are in so many wonderful memories that Unc, Scooter, and myself speak of all the time. So many hunting and fishing stories, too. Your laugh was infectious. We all love you more than anything. You had a beautiful soul and the biggest heart. I am honored to be called your Aunt. Please keep watching over us all. Today is a specifically hard day but then so is every other day, to be honest. We love you, miss you, and celebrate you daily. Always will. Rest In Peace Matt. GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN ❤️❤️❤️❤️
                     All my love,
                          Aunt Dawn

Matthew, I've been looking at pictures of you. God I miss you so much. Never in my life will I ever feel pain like this again. I thought I was forever broken when my Dad died. And in a way I was. But a parent isn't suppose to lose a child. That is when you will feel real pain and what a real broken heart can feel like. I would give my life for yours any day. Matt, I hope you were looking down on Cohen with our real scare. He seems to be doing better. Isn't he just the cutest??? Nothing like my little tough guy boss man. He rules this land. Brianne and Brittney would love you so much. They feel like they know you because of your presence in your house. Love you, the best buddy anyone could have had. I tell Alycia about you all the time. Rest in peace buddy!! You're Gods son now.
