Meet Matt

Matthew was our sweet boy. He grew up alongside his older brother, Nicholas, and a multitude of pets. We were a home-school family so the boys got into all sorts of mischief together! We enjoyed many adventures & the boys stayed plenty active! Volunteering was a large part of our life. Matthew was co-recipient of the rising star award with the American Red Cross. He also received multiple Volunteer Presidential Awards. Matthew was quiet unless he was around his friends, they brought out the best in him. He enjoyed cooking & made the most amazing smoked ribs! He was very creative in the kitchen and loved to make the most amazing recipes. He loved animals, loved his family, & in the months prior to his passing had fallen in love with his first girlfriend. While stationed in Colorado, Matt could generally be found in the mountains. He loved it there & I have no doubt he would have made his home up there. His daddy & I couldn't be prouder of the young man he was & the life he was creating.
