Vicki: I am so sorry for your loss. I have been through the same, of losing a spouse to cancer. If you ever need to talk or just a shoulder to lean on, please let me know. I am praying for you every day for strength, comfort and guidance. My God Bless you.
Vicki,
I am saddened by Matt’s passing, but I take comfort knowing he’s in a better place and no longer suffering. I was fortunate to get to know Matt through the Veterans Program — in fly tying, rod building, and during our fishing trip to Arkansas this past spring.
Matt was humble, appreciative of everyone around him, and genuinely a joy to spend time with. He brought a quiet kindness to every class and every outing. He made rod building fun, and he always showed gratitude for the people and the moments we shared.
Matt was a great person, and I was honored to have known him. His presence meant a lot to all of us, and he will be deeply missed.
Matt and I grew up together in Arcadia Valley. Matt and I were literally born on the same day and year, and we became fast friends from the moment we met. His dear mother was like another mother to all of us kids at the church and I love and am blessed to have known this family. I wish I would have kept in touch with Matt. I will always regret not dot doing better about that, but I pray to see him in Heaven some day and talk about old times! I love you, brother……….may God bless and keep you, forever!!! 😔🙏✝️
My heart goes out to all of you and family. I knew him a short time but sure enjoyed him and his kindness.
I’m so sorry to hear of your passing, cousin. I know you are no longer suffering and you’re reunited with your mom. Aunt Judy was best aunt a kid could have. We had a lot of fun as kids playing WWF and riding bikes. I’ll always appreciated the random shoulder squeeze in the high school hallway especially on a bad day. My heart and prayers go out to the family.
