His nieces and nephews include Austin, Ethan, Zachary, Jordan, Joshua Lauren, Justin, Lindsey Liberty, Josiah and Soleil.
Matthew loved deeply laughed frequently and infectiously and worked with everything he had. He was a Christian and knew he was heaven bound. His favorite verse taught to him by his mother and quoted often by Matthew as an mantra and guide due to his struggles with mental illness is God does not give us the spirit of fear but of power, love and a STRONG mind. He always emphasized strong. Matthew was kind humble and loved his family unconditionally. Others didn’t understand Matthew the way his family did but that was ok; he met the challenges of his short life as God enabled him.
We love you Matthew. You will live forever in our hearts and memories. You are now resting and rejoice with your Father in heaven
