I have only recently begun to know Matthew’s family, through his brother Nathan. Immediately, I was drawn by their faith, kindness, and presence of family. Matthew’s brother Nathan plays basketball with my son Nolan, and Matthew, along with his family are always there supporting Nathan. I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with Matthew as his nurse. He was so easy to talk with. He was polite and engaging. He made eye contact with me, held the conversation, and made me smile. Matthew will be remembered for his kind, gentile smile. My prayers and heart are constantly with your family Matthew.

So. Sorry to hear about the passing of Mathew. He was such a sweet young man. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. Love your family.
I worked as a sub at SC and got to know Matthew and had the privilege of also meeting his kind and gentle mother Mindy. Matthew was such a natural leader and had such a sweet soul. I loved on this young man and encouraged him every chance I could because I saw such great potential in him. He was truly something special! I know he will be greatly missed. Your family will forever be in my prayers and Matthew will forever be in my heart.
