I have many memories with Matt! I remember jumping out of a hay loft with him and the rest of the family onto a couch! Brien would remember that I believe.
When he lived in Berkeley Missouri near the High school, I remember all of us playing basketball there... Uncle Jerry included.
I'm still in shock after hearing of his passing!
My little brother Matt was my best and at times my only friend growing up even though we fought like brothers do when they're young ! But we always had each other's back! We had so many adventures together! I always looked out for him and tried to keep him out of trouble! I think I did pretty good! We often talked about God and this world! I will miss his conversation dearly!! My fondest memory was of the day him and I rode our Harleys through the Burkhart run! It was so cool just me and my little brother rumblin down the highway side by side not a care in the world!! It was awesome!! Mom always said you looked up to me but no one ever knew it was because of you that gave me the confidence I needed to deal with others!! I never understood the heart you had for other people but it was like no other!! You always cared for other people and would help them unconditionally!! The world is a lesser place now that your gone! I will miss you dearly! My heart is broken and it will take forever to fix it! Until we meet again Lee Lee I love you !
The name Matthew means, "gift of God", and my son was definitely that. Matty was a person who would go miles out of his way to help others. When he was only 8 years old we stopped to pick up a pizza after his Karate practice. Two tough looking guys kept looking at me and Matt notice it. He went straight up to them and said, "quit looking at my mother I don't like it, " The surprised guys looked at each other and the one say, " yes sir" and both dropped their eyes. I could see they were both trying not to laugh out loud that a little boy was ready to take them both on when he thought they were disrespecting his mother. Even as a child Matthew was fearless about protecting those he loved. I am so thankful to God for all the years he was with us and because of Jesus I know I will be with him and those we love again .
I’m so sorry to here about Matt. He was a great guy who knew no strangers and would help anyone. Sending prayers to the whole family. Remember he’s always with you in your heart.
My brother knew no strangers. He would give his shirt off his back to help someone in need. He was truly loved by us all and will forever be missed. I love you big brother. ❤️
