    I didn’t know Matthew long, but long enough to know what a nice man he was. He was polite, considerate of others, and had a great smile. My condolences.

    You couldn’t help but smile and laugh around Matt. He lived in the apartment complex where I work and I got aquatinted with him. We had a couple standing jokes between us that never got old. Matt loved to eat Chinese and would go with his scl staff quite often. I would see him in the elevator and I would say Mart are you headed to Ding Dongs to eat? (Place is called Wing Wangs) and he would say yep and have a good laugh! Or he would come back with a big cappuccino and walk by me and let me know what he had and I would say that’s not fair and he would laugh and say I know it’s good stuff! He made it a better place to be by just being Matt! Gonna miss that big guy! Heaven gained a great guy!
