So many memories that you left us with, so many great stories, but I would give them all back to have you here, with your mom and dad at this very moment.  May you rest in peace and never be sad again...we love you...

I'm sorry to hear about Matt.  He was such a sweetheart.  My prayers go out to his family.

Matt was a great guy. Prayers go to his family.

Bob & Debbie,  
Our hearts go out to you and your family with sympathy at this sad time.  Matt was quite a gentleman and a free spirit.  He enjoyed life to the fullest with his family, friends, and especially his dogs!  It is hard to say goodbye to someone so young, but think of all the lives he touched along his journey. He will be remembered and celebrated as a gift from heaven taken from us to soon, and as a light that will always shine brightly in this world.  When you think of Matt, you just smile, because he had an infectious smile!!!!  May the love and support of your family and friends help you through this difficult time.  
Love, Bob, Teresa, & Ryan

So sorry to hear of Matt's Passing.. What a great guy in school. I remember wrestling with him in grade school. He was a strong kid then, and sure was still athletic till now.. He will be missed.. thoughts and prayers from my heart to his family..

Memories of Matt and I growing up there are so many. it's hard to pick a single one football, baseball or just growing up together. I lost touch with Matt several years ago, but isn't that life. We get to busy building our careers or starting a family. We sometimes loose touch with some of our friends, but that's the great thing about friendship. No matter how much time goes by, no matter how far apart we are we will always be friends. And at some point we will meet again.

 My deepest condolences to his family

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Bonner, How very saddened I was to read about Matt`s death. Teachers are not suppose to have favorites, but he was definitely one of mine. He entered the classroom eager to learn, positive, kind, and a silent role model for others. I will forever cherish the time I had with Matt. Thank you for the gift of an amazing son to call one of my students. Miss Cogan

Debbie and Bob,  there is so much to say and no words to fill the sentence. Deepest thoughts and prayer to you and your families. May you hold your memories dear to your heart for years to come.

Dear Debbie & Family,
I was shocked to learn that Matt is gone.  I remember being Room Mothers with you when Shawn & Matt first started school in Clinton.  I also remember that first Halloween when the kids dressed up and marched around town.  I lost track of you over the years but I can tell that Matt was a wonderful man just by the words of others.  My heart goes out to you.

God Bless,

While there are no words to help ease the loss that you are going through, please  know that you are in our every thought and prayer.  Matt was a remarkable man and his absence will surely be missed. The heart remembers most what it has loved the best.  May your loving memories of Matt bring you some comfort and peace.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

I worked with Matt for about 7 years.  We traveled together a lot he was a good friend and a great person. My prayers go out to the family.

Matt rode in on his Harley and wasted no time becoming a very valuable part of the TME family. His accomplishments have been many and his passion unsurpassable! He will be sorely missed and never forgotten! Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Bonner family. You will forever be in our hearts.

Matt, we first met over the phone almost a year ago.  We met in person the day after Labor Day last year.  We talked a few times, shared a few stories and some laughs.  You struck me as someone who was responsible and dedicated, who valued freedom and lived life to the fullest.  Thank you for taking part in my new job here and setting something positive in motion for me and my family.  You touched our lives and we won’t forget.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to family and friends. Matt was a great guy with a huge heart. I met Matt working in Canal Fulton, OH and became very good friends. We shared many laughs and stories throughout the years. Matt is a little farther than Texas now, but he wil be close in our hearts and thoughts forever. I will miss you buddy!!!

My deepest sympathy and condolences from a former co-worker in Ohio. I remember Matt as always upbeat and heipful.

Words cannot express how much you are missed. My prayers go out to your family. May God bless you and keep you.

Matt,
I remember when we met here at TME years ago. I sensed that you were going to make a great contribution to this company, and that you did! What I didn't realize was how much of a positive influence and great contribution that you would make in all of our lives as more than just a co-worker, but as a great friend. You are missed, and won't be forgotten.

Matt,
It was an honor working for you,my condolences goes out to your family.

Matt, You will be remember as a Great Friend and Co-Worker, I will never forget you. We will meet again my friend...

Matt, 
Your smile...it lit up a room.  Your laugh...it was contagious.  Your mind..... brilliant.  The stories you told....gut wrenching hilarious.  Our lives are  better because of you.  You left us way too soon my friend however the memories I promise will never fade.  Living across the street from you was a real joy....I'm just glad I moved out before you became a teenager when the radical Matt came to visit!  You will be in our hearts forever and like I said before, I really am sorry for dropping you on your head as a baby!  I love you!


"Matt, you are missed - the smiles, the laughter, the pranks, the spider on my desk.  Thank you for being a part of our lives."

Matt,
Always know you will be remembered as a great colleague with a brilliant mind. There is no replacing what you meant to us, both as a person, and friend.

Matt,
You know our family will never forget you.  You help build our family to what it is today, 250 and growing.  We miss you buddy, Dave & Jessica
