"There are no words I can share to explain the loss I feel, I know you will never be able to read this, and I know I continue to talk to you even with you not physically here but I could not leave your page without words from me, I love you, I always will, you are my one and my life was forever changed when I met you and now is forever changed by the loss of you. I love you so much baby, we always said it wasn't until death did us part because we needed even more than that, so I will be with you again, I will always be yours and I will see you in our Wonderland. Forever and a day"
In loving memory of

Tributes

We will both pray for his wife Rachel and his children and your sister and you to find strength to cope with such a tragic loss of life. We love you and you are in our thoughts always -your forever friends.... Donna Marie & Linda"
"So very sorry Rachel to you and your family. Your family is and will always be here for you. You need help we are here. Love you. Aunt Lynne"
"Dear Rachel, family, friends and all who knew Matt, My deepest condolences for your loss. I had the pleasure of working alongside Matt as a fellow supervisor for about 2 years. I always marveled at how quickly and seamlessly he adapted and fit in as a supervisor on our team- like he had been with the company for many years. Matt was the colleague everyone wants to have- he was confident, calm, genuine, supportive and kind. He was naturally funny and was always able to say something to make others laugh and take a breath, which is so important in our line of work. I will miss hearing stories of his kids and seeing one of the twins join a zoom meeting. Matt was a great person to work with and know. He will be truly be missed. My heart goes out to Rachel, Avery, Ryuu, Rylan and all his family. Sincerely, Julianna January"
"Rachel, on behalf of Matt?s work family, please know that we are all keeping you and the kids in our thoughts daily. Matt was loved by many and this shocking loss has been felt by all who had the honor of knowing him. There is no doubt that his work as a therapist impacted lives far beyond what he even realized possible. So as you walk this heartbreaking path, please know that there?s a huge group of people, many of whom he?s never met in person, who are praying and thinking of each of you continuously. Our deepest, most sincere condolences to your family! Sincerely, Meggan Phipps "

"Dear Family, Matt was my supervisor for over a month and the impact he had on my life for that short period of time was amazing. He was so relaxed and made me feel confident in my career. He also understood the struggle of being a parent. It breaks my heart that I won't be able to laugh with him anymore, but I am just happy that I was able to work with him even for a short time. Song Sampson, co-worker "
"Dear Family, Matt had just recently become my supervisor, and although I did not know him for very long, I instantly felt such a connection and his support and encouragement was evident. It was clear that he loved his work, and that many co-workers enjoyed his sense of humor, and kindness. I know it is my loss that I did not have the chance to build more of a relationship with him. Please accept my most sincere sympathies, Laura Angell, co-worker"
