Matt, I'm so greatful that we had such good time at the pool before you were so tragically taken away from this world, and we shared it with our beautiful, amazing son, Everett! He talks about you and the good times you shared at Kings Dominion and he knows you're in heaven with Poppa and Jesus and we will see you again some day! He is so brave, just like his Daddy! He is getting so big and is so smart and kind! I know you are very proud of him! He will always remember his Daddy, Matt. I promise! We love you and will never forget you! 

Matti, my beautiful firstborn Son,
 
Nothing seems right in this world since we lost you . I miss you beyond all expression. I loved you before you were born and love you more each day still. I can’t wait to see you again; to hug you, to see your wonderful smile, to laugh with you, and to share a big feast of ziti with you. Until then, I will see you in the miracles around me, especially in your beloved Everett’s beautiful face! I know you are Everett’s big strong Guardian Angel now and will be watching over him forever. I am so proud and blessed to be your Mom! You brought me so much more joy and laughter than you know! Thank you Son. I carried you under my heart for nine months. Now I will carry you in my heart forever. I love you! Rest In Peace with God my sweet Matthew .

Mom


Matt, we miss you so much. Just still unreal that you are no longer with us. I will cherish all the memories, so many of them. Your unwavering loyalty and constant presence and support of Francois from the time you met will never be forgotten. Rest easy my friend knowing that you were loved by so many.

To my brother Matt Waters. Still can’t believe you’re gone. Not a day goes by that something doesn’t remind me of you. Your friendship and loyalty, your memories will always be on my heart. The way you made a friend a family member wherever you went. I will miss our long conversations and your fun way. Always making me laugh, always encouraging and supportive .I know you are in the right place. An angel... RIP.  I love you and miss you  brother😢

Matt, 
  Our whole family was stunned by your tragic passing. You and i had just spoke 3 days before you left us. Although we didnt speak nor see each other much, i enjoyed our talks and laughter together. You are in good hands now with your dad, your uncles doug&donald, kenneth,russell & grandpa john& grandma florence and your beloved dog “bighead” Everyone loved and will miss you greatly.  Rest in peace nephew. Hopefully justice will be served on your behalf. 

Matt you were and always will be more than just my big brother. You are a role model and an example of what it means to be kind hearted and loyal. You are the bar I am trying to reach as a friend , as a son , and as a brother.  You taught me how to do so many things that I do everyday.  You always had our backs and I’m so sorry that I couldn’t have yours. I love you and will do my best to live a life you would be proud of. 

Matt and I go way back to our high school days, and he and I were close to inseparable for many years. Concerts, beach trips, chasing girls....we made the most of every day. Matt was the primary reason for that. He was always up for an adventure no matter how ill conceived the plans we came up with were. He loved life, his family, friends, cold beer and good country music. I’ll always cherish the memories we made. I know he’s sitting beside the person he loved and respected most, his dad. Rest easy Matt. 

You were my best friend growing up. 
Even though I was a year older, I still found myself looking up to you.  You were loyal to your friends, quick to laugh, and made everyone around you feel like they mattered.  

Your dad was my dad when I didn't have one.  It felt like family when we were together.  Why he let either of us behind the wheel of his Audi, I'll never know.  

The West End was our playground between the hours of 12 and 4am.  Family sized packages of toilet paper from Winn Dixie for the neighbor's trees and tubes of raw cookie dough for us.  Baseball every moment in between.  

I will miss you, brother.

Matt was my brother Neil’s first born.  Neil was so proud to be his Dad.  Matt was passionate about his family. He loved us and would tell us often.   This is difficult to write because his life was cut so short.  He is with his dad, his uncles aunts and grandparents that were gone before him.  He is playing with his beloved dog “Bighead” and feeling the love we have for him.  My heart breaks for his son, mom and brothers.  Our world is never going to be the same. 

With love, 
Auntie Sharon 

It was tragic to hear the news of Matt passing away. We were really good friends for most of our lives.  I counted 21 fun filled years and think about Matt everyday. For many of those years we talked or texted everyday. We never lost touch during those years and that’s back when people switched cell phone carriers all the time and before Facebook. Matt and I watched Rusty Wallace get his final win at martinsville.  We were both overwhelmed as we knew we were watching history unfold. I bet we tailgated at a dozen races and always had a blast. He was the brother I never had and was always there when you needed something. When he was invited to grill out, to a tailgate, a race, the beach or a party, he was always there!  I wish Matt had more years in his life but he certainly had a lot of life in his years! He is greatly missed. RIP Matt! We will grill out and have some cold ones again my friend! 

Matt was a long time friend. We grew up playing baseball at TLL. High school we reconnected and became very good buddies. He was like a brother I never had. We had alot of mutual friends and we began living life. There were days we had nothing but scraped up change to go to the beach and or just to buy a simple 12 pack to have fun. We had each others back in so many unwritten ways. Matt was one of the closest buddies I've had. For the past few years we grew apart due to life but we always joked about UVA and VT  rivalry. He was my number 1 nemesis, lol. We were about to just meet up with a group of our past friends and work schedules conflicted. I regret that in so many ways. I'm sorry Matt. I'll always drink a Miller Lite for you buddy.  Three Amigos Wif, Matt and myself. Great times will happen again. Miss you buddy

To my big brother, Matt Waters, you will be dearly missed. Other than our father, you have been the one who has most influenced the man I have become. You had my back and you propped me up. I am proud to know you and heartbroken it will be so long before I see you again. You will be dearly missed and fondly remembered. Rest in peace Matt.

Dear Andrew,
I am keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Please accept my deepest sympathy. 
I hope Matt’s spirit and memories will comfort you, and the love of your family and friends sustain you. 
With love,
Sharon 

The Grimes family was crushed when we received the news about the tragic death of Matt Waters. Darren played baseball with Matt and Kevin played with John, Andrew being in between.  Neil and I stood at the Tuckahoe fences many a day and night rooting for these kids. Oh the precious memories of the Waters family! None of our family will be in attendance this Thursday as Darren lives in Thailand, Kevin is in Morroco and we are in Virginia Beach for the week. Regardless of our absence our hearts will be there in Spirit with all of Matt's friends and family. Rest in Peace Matt. Now go with God into eternal Glory. 

Michelle and Family;

So sorry for your family’s loss. Prayers to you all🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
