I remember Matt as a lil boy back there in Iowa, a cute lil thing! I knew Matt was staying with Sue recently, her & I spoke a couple times on the phone! I could tell she was happy to have him there living with her. I'm sure he brought much comfort to her .
My heart goes out to you Suezanne and to the rest of the Fanily, these are never easy times in our lives. My father, Uncle Peewee gives his condolences as wwell.

My sincere condolences to all of Matts family and friends. I personally hadn't seen Matt in over ten years but I know with his Witt and humor he will find his place in his next life. So very saddened to see such a young man have to move on so soon. Our deepest sympathies to you and yours.

I was shocked when I saw this anouncement. I just want to offer my condolences to the family and especially Sue. I did not know Matt very long or very well but I coudld see he was sure a lot of help to Sue over the past summer. The yard and house work that he did really spruced the place up. I know that Sue was proud to have him around. Once in a while he would stop by and ask if he could use a ladder or a tool and whenever he saw me working in the yard he would always come over and offer his assistance. He would always preface his offer by stating mom asked me to come over but I really believe he truly wanted to assist. I will miss seeing him and want to share with Sue that if there is ever anything she needs she only need look as far as her neighbors to the north. God Bless Matt.

I am so sorry to hear about Matt's passing! You and your family are in my prayers as you go through these difficult times.
I can still remember Matt growing up in the neighborhood on Pilmer Drive. He was only 3 years younger than Kim and I, so maybe I picked on him a little! Actually, he was good at picking on you right back! No matter the age difference! And, he was always laughing.
I wish I knew what to say, or do, to make this time easier for the family, but nothing seems worthy. Just know that I am thinking of Matt and praying that he is still making people laugh, just in a different place.
