Oh Matt. I met you 25 years ago. But I only had the last 4 years loving you. I so wish I had longer. You are an amazing man, a kind and loving person who never seemed to know how important he really was to those who loved him. You became my best friend and my quite literal everything. I wouldn’t have it any other way. You were so convinced that you were a horrible person but you were the best person I have ever known. Your thoughts were exactly my thoughts and that was amazing. I tried to tell you and to make you happy and I can only hope that before you passed, you knew; not only  how much I loved you, but how  happy I wanted you to be. I will forever miss you baby. And I wish you could tell me anything to make me think you actually know how much you meant to me. I love you baby. And always will. And I adore that your last conscious decision was to flip off the nurse. That was amazing baby. 

I remember when I borrowed the spare vehicle for a trip to Tallahassee,Florida.  it was a Dodge Ram 1500 pickup truck. it drove so smoothly. when it came up for termination. Matt told no one and bought it himself. I said that was a slick move. I couldn't get upset about it . it was the best buy anyone could have made. I applauded Matt for the shrewd move and buy. Matt was a good man. he would also help me with computer issues I was having on my home PC.
My Condolences to the Perkins family. 

Matt was such an incredible person and one of the best supervisor I've had the pleasure to work with and know. I can say without Matt I wouldn't be where I am now in life. He took a chance with me and for that I'm deeply grateful.  My condolences to his family and his loved ones he'll be truly missed and never forgotten. You'll always be my supervisor, may you forever rest In peace Matt. 

Animal,   IDK where to begin with my memories! Should I start with when we used to bet on who could hit the cow on the 7th hole? Or maybe when we went to the river with 2 others and burned up a lot of stuff........including 2 blenders, or maybe how you caused me to be picked up by the cops for the first time.......??? Can’t forget about the frozen party when we (& Mike)“clapped” when we arrived.....We enjoyed LIFE! Now for that other guy..........

Matt, You had such a big heart! You cared for those who earned it. Thank you for your friendship kind Sir! I hope I helped you even 10% of how much you taught me! For an only child, mike and yourself welcomed me as another brother. 
                 Well Sir, you had a great ride! I know for sure you enjoyed life to it’s fullest. You showed everyone how to enjoy life no matter what. Thank you for being you and making mine and a lot of others life a lot better while you just being you! Live Long, _ _ _ _ Much!

Matt Perkins was the nicest person. Always a smile and a joke to brighten your evening. When I drove the specimens into the Houston lab from the Beaumont relay we always joked and laughed about things with Ruth Lewis who was a dear friend of mine. May they both rest in peace. Will be dearly missed. My prayers and condolences to all who knew Matt and to his family

I am saddened by this news, my heart goes out to the family.  There are no words to ease the pain of loss.  I never met Matt personally, but I did know who he was through Renfest.  I passed by him many times walking in the lab, but sometimes our work can be so consuming we barely get to say hello.  Rest easy.

Everyone here at Capital Couriers is saddened by the news.  On behalf of our entire team, please accept our heartfelt sympathies and condolences for your loss.

Matt, I still remember our nightly loading dock talks about motorcycles, "Ren Fest", and so many other subjects after finishing routes. Even after my relocation back to Louisiana, you were still available when I needed help or direction navigating this crazy supervision world. You will be truly missed sir. From your Lafayette, Lake Charles, Beaumont, and Lufkin Team. 

From All of our family, the Sullivan's & Castine's, we express our deepest sympathy. Matt graced Lee S. & Johns C. life through out school from middle school to HHS theater through college years with fun times and much vigor of life. Best times shared including white water rafting, canoeing, fishing, skating, motor biking, playing practical jokes with Chris Cater. They have all said "Animal-you will be missed."  And to my dearest love, my heart is sadden for you showed me how a relationship can be with respect and adoration- my 42 Dominos player, you taught me well. Till we play again, go "blind nillo!"

I've only worked with Matt for a short time. I've learned some things from Matt. Very quiet individual but when you get him talking, we had great conversations. Matt will be missed. The office we shared will not be the same. My prayers and condolences go out to Matt and his family. 

Praying for God's peace and comfort for all of Matt's family, friends, co-workers, and employees during such a difficult time. I find comfort knowing that Matt is no longer tired, and no longer suffering!
