We are thinking of Matt always and especially on this April 18th which will mark the one year anniversary of his passing into everlasting life.
Matt was one of a kind. He was open and honest and easy to talk to. He always had a smile. He was a master storyteller and could make us all belly laugh with his stories and observations. Matt was generous. Any extra he had he gave away. He was a "Yes" when asked to donate to any local fundraiser. If he had any leftovers from one of the many events he sponsored he would drop off the extras for us - pies, mums, Blackberry cinnamon rolls. This was Matt - thoughtful and generous to not only his friends but also to the wider community as well. He was a great cook and his bacon wrapped corn on the cob was one of his specialties. Jessica and Matt together welcomed us into their home and fed us and provided fellowship and friendship. We will always know Matt as the loving father to Jack, Erin, and Case. We will always remember that his family was his first priority and he was fiercely devoted to Jessica and the kids.
The fun times our families share together are among my favorite and most treasured life memories. This is a tribute to Matt and Jessica and the amazing family they created.
His spirit was strong and we will forever admire his determination, courage and fiercely positive attitude if his life. Matt served God and his faith was strong. We are forever grateful to know Matt and to be witnesses to his eternal love and light on this earth. We are forever grateful to still see Matt in the smiles, mannerisms and brilliant minds of Jack, Erin and Case. Matt was a rare friend to us and we are eternally blessed to know him and Jessica and their whole beautiful family.
