Though i hadn't seen you in years you will be missed dearly. I still remember the many years of christmas visits and summers. I will always remember you with cigarette in hand with either a pepsi or cup of coffee to start you day. Your many years of service allowed you to go places some will never see. May you be enjoy your new beginning with our lord above. And i know pa sabrina and aunt judy was waiting with arms wide open. It was painful to know this is what it took for us to come see you. I love you uncle matt!

One of my fondest memories are of the day when matthew and i purchased a used four wheel truck and went mud bogging through a shallow pond. Of course the four wheel drive went out and as we got out to push small fish and frogs began to nibble at our knees. As the truck was filling with water the situation struck us as very very funny and there we were, laughing so hard we couldnt even get the truck unstuck. I cant remember who towed us out, but we remembered it for years, and it always made us laugh all over again. That was matthew, a great sence of humor, love of nature, great faith and love for his family. I will miss him, but as we are promised in faith, we will be together again somday soon. I can see him now in heaven refusing a set of wings and requesting a chevy truck
With four wheel drive that goes out every so often, just for the fun of it
