Matt was affectionately called EM by his wife Cheryl. Their union was punctuated with love, understanding, commitment and acceptance. EM loved the beach, seafood, pizza and the fall. He was a music encyclopedia, often amazing others of his extensive memory, especially of rock bands.
We loved our Matt. He left behind his step daughter, Caitlyn Lee; grandson, Ivan Mateo Hernandez Lee; and wife, Cheryl Allen.
