So sorry for your loss! Matt was a great guy and friend to so many! May he Rest In Peace ❤️
I didn’t know Matthew long, but long enough to know what a nice man he was. He was polite, considerate of others, and had a great smile. My condolences.
Matt was one of the best men that I knew! Through all the jokes, teasing, and stubbornness he will be greatly missed! To Deb and family…I am so sorry for your loss!
You couldn’t help but smile and laugh around Matt. He lived in the apartment complex where I work and I got aquatinted with him. We had a couple standing jokes between us that never got old. Matt loved to eat Chinese and would go with his scl staff quite often. I would see him in the elevator and I would say Mart are you headed to Ding Dongs to eat? (Place is called Wing Wangs) and he would say yep and have a good laugh! Or he would come back with a big cappuccino and walk by me and let me know what he had and I would say that’s not fair and he would laugh and say I know it’s good stuff! He made it a better place to be by just being Matt! Gonna miss that big guy! Heaven gained a great guy!
Jim and Debby, We were saddened to read of your son’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Lon and his twin brother Ron think of you often.
Fraternally yours, and with Chi Omega Love,
Lon and Jean Bernth
