Matthew had a heart of gold, love the Lord and got into the word daily. He loved giving to the homeless on the streets and discipling God's word with his family and friends both on and off the road as a semi truck driver. Both the journalist in a deep thinker, Matthew would often write down immediately whatever words are comparisons the Holy Spirit compelled him to despite his struggles, and sometimes even during them, he was a bold witness, passing out Bibles and flyers and tracks to people on the beach. He was on fire for God so much that he pulled over his big rig truck cranked up his Jesus music and ran with his victory flag, which proclaimed Jesus is Lord. Matthew was an experienced landscaper. He loved plants and gardening later became a truck driver, even partnering with his father, he was adventurous, loving, humorous, and even loved his cat obey. He loved the thrills of amusement rides, roller skating guitar, and spending time with his mom and dad went in town. That way is no longer by our side, his impact and love and memories remain in our hearts forever. Matthew's favorite verse was submit yourselves therefore to God resist the devil and he will flee from you, James 47. I love you son and I know I'll see you soon on the other side happy birthday in heaven on January 18. You would've been 43 so happy 43rd among the angels would love you!!

your family and all your friends
