Matt was a very likeable person and very funny. when working with Matt and the day got to much to bare Matt would start his Billy Bob imitation and we all started laughing until we almost cried. I am so heart broken and mad at the same time. Matt i am going to miss you so much.

I will always hold a special place in my heart for Matt. He was my friend and coworker for the last two years, and always had a smile and kind word. He was a very funny guy and had a great sense of humor. I am blessed to have met him and shared good laughs. He is deeply missed by everyone here in the office, and my condolences and prayers go out to each member of his family and friends that have been touched by this tragic loss. May God give you strength and peace. Merri Temple
We will all miss seeing Matt’s shy smile at FSSA. He was such a gentleman at all times and just a sweet young man. It was a pleasure to know him and he will sorely missed by all his co-workers. All of his Family are in my prayers at this time of great loss. God be with you all. Marilyn Casey
My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
Matt was always a very friendly and helpful guy. Always had a smile or kind word and if you needed any kind of help he would always be there. He had a picture of his 2 boys on his computer which I enjoyed seeing when I would go by his desk. He was a very good co-worker and I enjoyed being his supervisor for a short time. May his family find some peace through this horrible tragedy. May god bless you all. Carol Hofmann
Matt was a wonderful person to work with. He was quick with a smile and a kind word or joke. We worked together for the last 2 years and I found him to be very sharp and always looking to improve himself. I miss him greatly as I felt we were good friends. My thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones and all of us at FSSA that will feel his loss for a very long time.
He is missed by many. I remember he was joking around with me on Friday. He could walk into room and cheer up anyone that was taking a hard day. He would help anyone that needed help.
I am very saddened to learn of Matt’s passing and want all of you to know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I love reading all of your stories involving my brother. He truly was such a funny, witty guy. Last week he made up a song about breakfast on the spot and started singing it under the bathroom door. Matt is clearly loved and will be missed by so many people. Through all of those that knew him, Eli and Finn will never forget their daddy.
Matt was a wonderful son, big brother, husband and most of all daddy. He felt everything very deeply. He masked his anxiety with humor. We knew from a very young age that he was exceptionally gifted in many areas. He was always so creative. He could make up a song in the spur of the moment.. Painting his room Aztec orange and going to sleep counting to 500 or 600 before he even started kindergarten . These were some of our first clues…My little lefty. His wit and humor always made me laugh. He had so many plans and dreams. Not only for himself , but his family. With the memories of his family and friends we will make sure Eli and Finn remember him and his love for them. Until we meet again. I love you and will miss you every moment of every day.
I have never forgotten Matt and Jenny as high school sweethearts. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I remember always seeing Matt and Jenny together in the halls and wishing I had something like that. You were a truly special couple and Matt was a great guy who was loved by everyone. I’m so deeply sorry for your loss. Ali (Schubert) Melban
There are few thing; .if any more difficult than the loss of a loved one. It is hard to understand WHY…. things happen as they do. Matt was a gentle, kind, sensitive person that loved Jenny, Eli and Finn, along with his other family members. I will always remember his wonderful smile and the twinkle in his eyes as he smiled or laughed, God has a plan for all of us..it’s not for us to understand at this time, but he care for us and will provide for us to carry on until the day… we will see our loved ones again. My continued prayers are with all that loved Matt. and all that he loved. Especially Jennifer, Eli and Finn as you deal with this void left in your lives. I wish I could take your hurt away.
