Matthew, your son looks just like you, and he still talks about Daddy so even at his young age, he remembers you.

We met Matthew & Joy & the kids here in North Pole, AK. I was shocked to hear of his death. I am so very sorry for your pain. Death is indeed an enemy. May Jehovah give his family & friends comfort through his word, promises & spirit at this time of deep sorrow.

I met Mathew a couple months ago he was great friend, father & husband. He used to live across from me in the old base housing so we saw & talk to each pretty much everyday. He even helped me move into the new housing & I was supposed do the same for him on Sept 15. I tried contacting him the day before to see what's going on but no answer, so I got a little concerned since never hit me up about it. Then I decided to over to his house a week later to make sure eveything was ok, his wife Joy came out & unfortunately gave me the bad shocking news that he was gone I was speechless & couldn't belive what had happened R.I.P Buddy You Will Be Missed....................

Matthew, my dear son-in-law...I love you like a son and when you and Joy were married, I was so happy that beautiful wedding day.  I knew she had found a wonderful man, and you proved me right by being a fantastic father and husband.  I can't believe you won't be here at Thanksgiving telling us your neat stories and playing with the kids.  There will be a huge void in all our lives now without you to brighten them.  I miss you and love you so much and will hold you in my heart dearly forever.

Matthew was such a nice guy with a good personality. We really enjoyed the visits. He will be missed by all of us too. 
Love,
Steve & Ellen Griffin

Its kind of hard to realize that a person who was a part of my family for so long will no longer be here. Matt was like another brother to me its crazy because we argued like brother and sister and we have soo many memories together. He was a great person if you needed anything you could always count on him he was always there for you no matter what i honestly do not think there was anyone closer to my brother than Matthew. I loved him and he will be missed dearly and i will always remember him as the wonderful, kind, and caring person that he was! RIP Matt love your sister from another mother!!!!!

Matthew was a very special person to me. He was a hugger,and he didn't care where you were.I cannot imagine life without my Matthew.He was a wonderful daddy,A good husband,and a beautiful man.None of us know why things happen,but I know one thing he was taken away from us much to soon.I will miss you more than simple words can say.I will love you forever,and miss you the same.

Oh the funny/crazy memories I have of Matt. He was a very special person in my life bc he Loved my dearest friend Joy. I remember when both his wonderful children were born. I will never forget how great of a person he was. I love and miss you very much.

I miss Matthew dearly. He was one of my best friends and one of the greatest people I've ever known. I will always miss him but I also know that the memories we have of him will keep him alive and around us even though he is gone for now. I wish that words could express how much we all loved him and tell how amazing he really was. But know that I will always love him and keep him alive in my heart. He taught me so much in the short 15 years we had together and I just wanted to say that he was the best older brother I could have asked for.

I had Matthew 24 years ago.  I thank Jehovah for the years I had with him.  He was my son and my baby.  I will forever love him and he will be missed by all that knew him. I look forward to the day when I see him in the resurrection.
Love you forever....
Mom
