Pierce and I were just talking about Matt early this morning. Matt was our son's first true best friend and continued to be for several years. So many great memories. Don't think you will ever be forgotten by us. -The Newmans

For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that if anyone would place their trust in Him, He would give them everlasting life.

I've known your sister since about 7th grade. She's a truly amazing person and I know she looked up to you her whole life with the utmost respect. So many people miss you and so many cared for you and still do. I know you are looking over sarah, drake, jack, and most of all Mrs. Kat. I hope you are at peace and filled with joy and happiness.

Don't go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before, mmm
And don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you any more
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far, mmm
I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are
You never let me down before, mmm
And don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you any more
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far, mmm
I took the good times, I’ll take the bad times
I’ll take you just the way you are

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
Oh what will it take til you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that's forever
And it’s a promise from the heart
I couldn’t love you any better
I love you just the way you are
The same old someone that I knew
Oh what will it take til you believe in me
The way that I believe in you
I said I love you and that's forever
And it’s a promise from the heart
I couldn’t love you any better
I love you just the way you are

I don't want clever conversation, no, no
I never want to work that hard, mmm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I never want to work that hard, mmm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are

Sleepover memory
May 7, 2021
by Peter Newman
I remember Matt was here having a sleepover with our son Pierce. We all watched "The Warriors" together which I had seen in the theater decades earlier. Matt really liked it; thought it was very cool.

A couple weeks ago we were eating at the purple onion downtown. A man came up to us and started talking to us, he was obviously in need. Matt and I befriended him and Matt decided that we needed to take him home. We ended up driving an hour away to take this man home. When we got to his house, Matt handed him a 20 dollar bill and a hug. It just shows how much Matt cared about other people.
