    As I said before, Matt and I weren’t super close. But he was my brother and always will be. I’m really glad to have known him especially in good times and good health. It’s been a while since we talked or saw each other but that doesn’t matter....  more

    What I remember most about Matt is his infectious smile. I actually can’t recall him ever not smiling... He had the cutest crinkly eyes and the greatest laugh, that’s what I truly remember most about him. He had such a fun and adventurous spirit and...  more

    I haven't seen Matt in so long, but I know a thousand people could say 'he was my friend' and they would be right. In my memory , he was easy to be around. I met him through CSU friends and then a lot of us started out working at Charles Schwab a...  more

    I have not seen Matt since shortly after graduating from CSU....too long. But I remember him as one of the nicest, smartest, and funniest guys in the house. He was always kind and considerate and fun to be around. My prayers go out to him and his family.

    Floating down the river at Guernsey with Greg and Eric. We saw a Bald Eagle on a tree on top of a cliff, we were so inspired we started singing the National Anthem.

    Matt was my pledge dad at ATO in 1988. There was a pledge rush event at Rollerland and Matt and I had a huge wipe out on skates. I wound up kicking him in the forehead with the toe of my skate. He had the most massive egg shaped contusion on his...  more

    I was fortunate enough to meet Matt in college and become friends. He was a genuine and sincere guy. I have a lot of fond memories of him. He always had a smile and a friendly word, and he was a blast to be around. I wish his family love and support.

    Matt was such a good guy. He had a great sense of humor. I’ll always remember the endless summer volleyball games in the sand pit. You’ll be missed my friend.

    Like a lot of us college fraternity brothers, I fell out of touch with Matt over the years. When we'd run into each other, it was like we had never left off. I was always amazed by Matt's natural athletic abilities. One of those types, that was great at...  more

    Matt was one of the nicest, and most MELLOW, guys I have ever met. He was a natural athlete. He and I would have marathon tennis matches that went on seemingly forever, because he was quite a competitor as well. Six days prior to his passing he reached...  more

    I met Matt when we were freshmen in college. We pledged ATO, were roommates for much of college, graduated, started the same first job and worked a couple other jobs after that together. He was funny and kind. He was athletic and competitive. He was...  more

    MJ, you will forever be missed my brother. We shared so many memories for the last 30+ years it is nearly impossible to remember them all. While you are gone, you will never be forgotten.
    Rest in Peace
