My prayers with Brandon, Ryan, Denise and family. I recall Many memories, secrets, and stories from hanging out with Matt on 14th street and all over town. Especially the day he had to save me and take my bike home because I face planted into sidewalk somehow managed to get tangled in bike. Always a caring guy, even though he wanted to look/be tough. Will never forget the great times we had. Thought and prayers with all who knew Matt.
