Happy birthday Matthieu! It's been 5 years now since your passing and I still think of you all the time. I wanted to post a photo of you that Aaron sent me in April 24. He took this photo of you sitting on a table in a park. — with Matthieu Henry

Ino,I found a birthday card you sent to me years ago and it hit me so hard. The last line said we would be best friends for a lifetime. That time frame is so subjective and malleable, and I hate that it was so short for you. I lovels you too, and I wish we could've seen each other one last time. I miss you so much.

Matt has always wanted to help people, that is why he worked so hard. He gave so much of himself. Matt loved visiting his patients and made them feel so good. Thry couldn’t wait to see him. He always talk about his sister,Rachael, Daniel and Dion ll. He loved his conversations that he had with them. He wanted nothing but the best for them, he knew they would achieve what ever there dream was. They brought so much happiness to him. He had a lot of friend here and around Texas and Missouri. We were shocked and will feel the loss, we know he is going to a better place and he will find complete happiness.

You are always in our hearts. I know that your Grandparents are there waiting for you.
We all love you. Love you GD 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hey Matthew, I hope you're happy wherever you are. A lot of folks miss you, and it's only been a few days. I sure as hell miss you.

I'm glad we got back in touch a while back. I'm sorry that we lost touch for a few years, while I was moving to Oregon, and you were probably making your way out to Missouri. But I remember you coming by a couple of times to my last apartment in Merced, and we'd hang out and play video games. It was always good to see you, because I felt like you were a little brother to me. I always tried to look out for you, and take you under my wing whenever possible. I even remember going out to eat one time at Denny's, and bringing you along. You sat among my friends and I, and I told everyone to kiss my ass; my little cousin is coming with us, and that's that. I don't care if you don't want a kid around. I can't remember your circumstances at that time, but you said you were hungry, and didn't have any cash. Poor kid. I had your back then, just like always.

Hell, I remember when you kids used to come over to our house what felt like 10 times per Summer. I'd try and make you all feel welcome, because your lives were very chaotic, and I think you needed that stability in your lives. It wasn't out of sympathy, it was out of love. But you, Matthew, needed it the most, I think. Don't worry, man. I had your back then, too.
We'd play Castlevania: Symphony of the Night together, and talk about the crazy world that Dracula and the Belmont family lived in. I also remember the time that you wrote a fan fiction novel about that world, and handed it to me, full of pride, to read. It was something like 100 f'n pages! I read it all, and gave you my feedback on it. I was hoping you would get it published some day. I've also had ideas in my head about books I would like to write. I'll get off my ass one of these days, and I promise you: When I do, I will dedicate it to you. Done deal.

Once we got back in touch, we talked about all sorts of things....usually while playing various video games that we both had in common at the time. World of Warcraft was one of them. I used to give you crap about being a disgusting Goblin Priest, but you know what? I grew to like those little green freaks because of you. I'll be making one in your honor, whenever I get around to playing the game again. Done deal.

Guild Wars 2 was another game. Remember that time when we did that super hard dungeon with all your friends? Man, that was intense. But you tanked the hell out of it, and we persevered, like always. I did what I always did: kicked the crap out of anything with blind fury, while knowing you had my back the whole time. Teamwork makes the dream work, man. I don't play that game anymore, and I don't think I can now. The person who helped me get back into it is no longer able to play with me.

It's really going to suck, seeing you as Offline on all my friends lists, and watching the days climb higher and higher as the years go by.

We talked a lot about life, and memories. I know how you felt about things in life, vice-versa. I won't tell anyone about some of those things, because it's none of their business. If they were dark secrets that needed to be told, that would be one thing. But those game sessions where we were just talking about one thing or another....those are for us to cherish.

I want to thank you for looking up to me, and telling me so. I don't think I'm a dude worth looking up to, but it means the world to me that you did. I'm just a regular dude that knows a good person when he sees it. I'm absolutely furious that you didn't have long in this world, and I would gladly give up some of my time on this Earth to buy you some more time. I told you, man....I always have your back.

Thank you for being part of my life, and for being my team mate all these years. I hope that, wherever you are, that you can see this. I'm sure you don't mind, but I'm going to keep this positive energy you gave me all these years, and do good things with it. I sure am glad you had so much of it, because you didn't deserve the hard life you were given.

All the best to you. I love you, man.
Your favorite cousin (your words, not mine),
Brian

When Matthew was a toddler he was such a happy, friendly little one. When I would go shopping with him in the shopping cart seat he would wave & talk to everyone as we passed by. I remember being afraid someone would try to kidnap him because he was so friendly to strangers. That was my little Matthew, so happy & full of life.

Hi Matt's Family,

I just wanted to take a minute to share my condolences. Matt was a fun, energetic person and I am SO sorry to hear about his passing. We drifted apart the last couple years, but I enjoyed catching up with him every so often to see what he was up to. I will miss my brother from another mother tremendously. I pray for your comfort and strength through this difficult time. We discussed what we would do if we died, and donating his body to research was what he told me he wanted to do, so don't feel upset about that decision.Please reach out and let me know if there is anything I can do, I'll be making a donation on payday, but if there is anything else you needb please reach out.

Hi Elizabeth & Matt's Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Matt. He was such a special human being with such a bright light that touched everyone around him. He was one of my closest friends for many years. I will miss him greatly.

I wanted to share with you that one day, long ago, Matt and I were talking about our final wishes and he actually said he wanted his body donated to science in the event of his death. I know it's a hard decision to make but I hope you can find some solace that you're honoring his wishes.

I wish you comfort during this difficult time. Peace be with you.

Warmly,
Michelle
