Hey Mattie, You captured my heart the day you were born. Who could resist your beautiful brown eyes they seemed to smile when they looked at you. I loved you...I spoiled you...I adored you...we all did... your quick witted humor, that laughter.... "hey Aunt Sharon remember how I got this scar on my forehead?" conversations always ended with "well I gotta get going Aunt Sharon I'll catch you later....I love you....." until we meet again...I will forever miss you..... I love you, XO Aunt Sharon

One of the most lovable, funny, and charismatic people I have known...Matt was a magnet for people who became friends. I watched him years ago as a teen bring person after person to youth group every Friday night at Stateline Baptist Church...most of those people have remained his friends. He adored his daughter and loved his wife...family meant more than anything. I am sorry for our loss.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Matt! I remember being with Aunt Sue and Uncle Mike and Matt coming over and us playing together with Sarah, Caroline and Rachel...We had a great time together back then. I feel for his wife and daughter as I too lost my husband at a young age suddenly and know what you are going through. And for his mother who lost a child that she loved so much. Just remember all the great times and memories you have had together and it will slowly ease the pain. My thoughts and prayers are with all of the family during this tragic time.
