A celebration of Matthew’s life will be held at Joseph G. Duffy Funeral Home in Park Slope on Saturday the 15th of December, 2018, at 11:00 in the morning. He will be laid to rest, with his father, at Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn.
Matthew was born to Katherine Hall and Eugene Bohart on December 18, 1968 at Long Island City College Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. He attended the University of California at Berkeley, where he received a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. He also studied music at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA. He was an extremely talented piano player, writer, and debater of all topics. He loved to read, spend time with friends and family, and his comic wit added color and life to every conversation. Matthew was particularly affected by the passing of his father in 2014, and missed him dearly.
Matthew is survived by his mother Katherine Hall and stepfather Russell Ryan of Brooklyn, NY; brother Zachary Bohart and his sister in law Stefanie of Cambridge, MA; his nephew Zachary Jr. and niece Olivia. Additionally, he is survived by his aunt Suzanne Cooper and cousin Jackie Leigh and family of London, England.
Matthew bravely struggled through this life with personal issues, and his family was very proud of his ability to overcome the adversities he faced time and time again. We hope he has found peace and that he knew he left this world loved.
