My sincere condolences to the family of Matt Armbruster. May God comfort you during this difficult time. Know that He cares for you especially now. 1 Peter 5:6,7

Matt, we will always have you in our hearts and will remember all the times together that we shared. You were like a son - we loved you. You were a great father and a man who enjoyed life to the fullest. We will miss you always.

I was lucky enough to go to school with Matt through grade school and high school. Seeing all these photos brought back so many good Regis and O'Hara memories. Matt was a friend to everyone, so smart and funny. I always remember laughing a lot when he was around. I wish I could have made it back for the services. I have been thinking of your family a lot in the past week.

Matt, you are one of my oldest and dearest friends. I hope you know that I love you so much. I'll always miss your sweet smile and sense of humor.  You'll always be in my heart and memories.

Shorty, I still can't believe you have been taken away from us. It feels like a horrible nightmare to us all. I love you and miss you so much. Not only were you my Cousin, but you were close family, like a brother to me also. I will always remember the talks we recently had in the last year. You gave me some great advice and you cared, during the worst of my times, yet you as well were going through difficult times. You are probably the most selfless person I knew. You lit up every room you walked into with your humor and beautiful smile. You were indeed a special soul. You would be so proud of Justin right now. 

I love you Shorty, always and forever. Our lives will never be the same without you, our hearts will forever ache for you. Until we meet again Bub, RIP honey. 

Your Cousin,
BHT & "where is my sausage dip, boy!" lol!  - Lori :) xoxo

Our prayers are with the family at this time of loss. Tom and Mary were friends from back in high school. Tom was so proud when Matthew was born that he called me and ask that I come to the hospital to see his and Mary,s new son. They were so proud of both Matthew and Amy. Although the time is never right for a loss of a loved one, know that Matthew is together with his Mom and Dad and the Lord. God Bless the family.

Our dearest friend Matt, We always considered ourselves so very fortunate that our paths crossed with you and Michelle.  There are very few times in life you feel an immediate connection to another soul. We will never find another kindred spirit like yours and will always hold you near and dear to our hearts. Through our memories, you will always live on with us forever.

Matt, I love you so much and am so grief stricken by your loss. You did the thing when other's didn't. You will have a glorious afterlife. I will never forget all the good times Matt. I miss you so much!

Always your friend,
Gentry

Although time and distance never allowed for an adult relationship, my memories of you from childhood are special. It is clear that you were a fine man and father.  Just like your Dad and Mom, you were a special soul. May your spirit and soul find it's way back to them so you can do the work God has in store for you. I will pray for your amazing sister and your son. Rest in peace Matt.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

We want to extend our deepest sympathies to Matt's family! Brent worked with Matt and ate lunch with him on a regular basis. He will be greatly missed. 
Sincerely,
Kelly and Brent Caskey

Shorty*  I hope it wasn't the applesauce bub! This really sucks. You're leaving us all hanging with our computer woes and empty spaces in our ❤s. We are all devastated but you have our word to look out for Justin Thomas always! Just like your Dad -everyone loves you. You and Porms were gifts in my life. I am going to miss the shenanigans and your smile. Rip wellI love you  HT....

Memories of you will always, always, always burn bright. Justin and I have you close to our hearts and look forward to you visiting. We love you so, so much.

Had not seen Matt for a while but have great memories of working with him. He was such a nice guy. Always pleasant to work with and what a great smile. A gem of a guy. Blessings to his family and may he rest in peace.

I know Matt from his marriage to my friend Michelle. He was a fun guy to be around and made sure everyone else was having fun when he hosted or attended a gathering. He was always helpful with computers and technical questions. I appreciate Matt Armbruster for the love he showed my family as well. I hope he finds peace in his journey to the after life. Peace be with you Matt.

I only knew Matt for a couple years through work but it was long enough to recognize he was truly a great person who loved his family very much.  I am glad I had the opportunity to be friends. RIP Matt. See you in the next life.
