Matt was always very kind to everyone that he came into contact with. Whether he knew them personaly or not. I remember seeing him in school many days and he was always smiling...nothing could ever get him down. The smile on his face was contagious and when ever I think of him I smile. Matt was an awesome young man and he will be remembered in the hearts of so many forever. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I'm a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. I was saddened to hear about a drowning in Park Point. What made matters worse was knowing it was a friend of mine. Matt and I always shared a smile, a joke or a high five. Whenever he came into the room, he cheered it up. His positive manner was hard to forget. The lives he touched will forever linger in our hearts. May you rest in peace Matt.
