Matthews life purpose was evident in showing others how to love without criticism. He will always be remembered and in our hearts forever. His beautiful spirit will be remembered as a blessed gift given by God to those he encountered. For they are the fortunate ones to have been given, shown, and to receive...forgiveness, compassion, kindness, joy, and above all Love.

The entire family wishes to express their heartfelt thanks to all those who have given their support, compassion, and love throughout this very difficult time.

Treat others as you want them to treat you.
