I remember when his brother pasted. I've known Matt since grammar school, he was quite but had a great smile and laugh. I know he was a happy guy and had a Great mom, she sure has had a lot of loss but, she seems to be a very strong mom and very supportive and loving. Matt and his brother were very close. He had his struggles but I loved it when he would giggle when he heard us say something funny. He was a very nice guy. Rest in peace my friend!
