Matt, you are loved and missed by many of us.   You were so young,  but I am sure God has a plan 🙏 for you. 😊

Dear Sharon and Paul,

We are deeply saddened to hear of Matt's passing. We are also very sorry to find out after the visitation and service because we would have surely been there. We love and appreciate what Matt did for us and we will keep him in our memory forever. And we will make a memorial donation to one of the requested entities. Please know that you and his family are in our prayers.

Sharon, you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers! We're here for you, love you guys!

Dear Sharon
There are no words to express the heartache we felt for all of you last week when we heard about Matt. The kids all had fun when we were neighbors, as did we. Times were great then and there were so many adventures. . I always felt like Matt was like another one of my kids too. He was sweet, respectful, loving,  and always soft spoken.  I remember many times when they climbed that tree in your front yard and were always building something up there.   Jodi, being the little sister, loved to watch the activity, but on that day the hammer fell out of the tree and hit her head.   It was an accident to be sure,  and the tree was called “the hammer tree”from that day forward.   Jodi enjoyed all the special attention from  Matt & Billy when she came home with bandages and stitches. Those were such happy days and I will always remember them with many more funny stories. Not a care in the world, then they grew up!  Neither Billy or Matt changed much, just got taller. Another memory is Matt’s beautiful smile. Will never forget it....I know that God will give you strength to get through the next days just as he did before.  Many people love you and want to do anything to help you.  Please let them. You are in our thoughts and prayers.  We love all of you ❤️

Matt was my "Little Brother" We clicked from the first week I started at Bimini's...4 years ago today to be exact. He got me....and I got him. We had each others backs, we saw and believed in the same things. I loved, and understood Matt, despite his faults...we all have them. There is an empty place in my heart that will NEVER be refilled. Our sarcasm, I don't give a shit attitude and if it comes up...it comes out!! He was real, and genuine, and that's why I loved him SO much!!! I miss you Little Brother 💙

Dear Sharon
So sorry for your loss, you and the family are in my prayers as you go through this sad time. 

I have been cutting Matts hair for I don’t know how long. We always have good laughs and I enjoyed talking with him at these times! Always giving advice and friendly when I’d see him. I sure will miss him coming in. I will have the family in my thoughts and prayers. 

Ms Sharon,
I am so sorry for your loss and know how much you still miss Benji. I'll never forget Matt walking across the street and ringing my doorbell. He would ask me to come outside and pass the baseball. It took 2 years to make him understand you pass a football and throw a baseball. Guess what we did...we threw whatever he wanted to throw. Your family will always be a huge part of my heart. 

Sharon no words can express the sorrow you must be feeling.  David and I send our love and prayers for you and your family. 

Sharon, how well I remember and loved Benji and know how grieved you are. Please accept by sincerest condolences and prayers for you, 

Dear Sharon and family,  I know you are crushed and broken and all I can say is how sorry I am.   Please know I pray for you to find some peace.  Love to you.
