Earlier today many of us who are reading this had to say goodbye to a dear friend, a great teacher in and out of the classroom, and a loving son and brother. Matt I will never forget the impressions you have made on my life while you where here with us in person and after in spirit. Your passing has reminded me why my friends and family are so important to me and how some times we can take them for granted. Not only have you touched my life but you have touched the lives of new friends that never had the privelage and honor to know you.
Love Always,
Todd
PS Enjoy the great shopping mall in the sky! :) And let me know if they are not doing something right. I will see what I can do to fix it for you.
Matt's Mom, Sister, Dad (married to Matts Mom). I can not begin to say how deeply sorry I am for your loss. He loved all of you very much and always spoke of you with the best regard.
I had the honor and pleasure of knowing Matt for 13 years and I will continue to know him for the rest of my life. I have so many great memories of him, from living with him after college to him helping me move to Detroit when I got a job promotion to moving him to Las Vegas when he got his new job.
As many of you know Matt had so much passion for being a teacher and I am proud of all of his accomplishments in the short time that he was with us. I will never forget the sparkle and excitiment in his voice when he spoke of what he was doing with his students. I never got to tell him how jealous I was of him for haveing a career that made such a strong impact on the lives of others. And the memories and legacy will continue to have that impact.
Matt thank you for the great times we shared together. I will never forget them or you.
Todd

Thank you to the Las Vegas Sun for covering this important story. As a dear friend of Matt's, who lives in Michigan, it helps me out a lot to be able to stay up-to-date on what is being done to remember Matt and all that he did to better the community of HENDERSON! And also gives me a little relief to hear about the judicial process that is taking place. I hope and pray justice will be served fairly and approriatly.
