Matthew loved to play tennis, he loved to cook and experiment with different spices and loved to garden with his mom. He was an explorer by birth and was always ready for an adventure whether it was finding a new creek to explore or woods to traverse through or his favorite, a huge mountain to climb. He was hugely compassionate and loved his animals, especially cats. When he was younger, he spoke of wanting to become a horticulturist and then when he started working, he wanted to become a chef.

TRIBUTE:

A baby born on February 20, 2003 who turned into the most magnificent man was taken from us much too soon on March 21, 2022.

He is in the heavens now,

The brightest star in the sky,

A reminder to all when all seems dark

To hold your head high and look into the sky

For Matthew's light will shine upon you

 to comfort your thoughts and embrace you with the warmth

of his loving, empathetic heart.

His spirit fills the universe.
