I’m sorry for your lost Jim and Lisa. Matt had so much to offer to the world. You both raised a good respectful man. I can vividly remember coming to your house over the mountain to play with Matt and I never wanted to leave or the sleepovers we had. He was one friend I always really enjoyed being around.

From everyone in my family we send our deepest condolences.

Georgette Michalkovich

I met Matt at Bethany Bible Fellowship church when he came with his mom and dad. Such a nice young fella and so polite. Also, I have been praying for Matt for a long time, asking the Lord to release him from his struggles, and now the Lord has done that by taking Matt home to Heaven. May the Lord now provide His peace, comfort and strength to Jim, Lisa and family through this difficult time. God Bless!

Hey Matt, I met you at Rich n Linda’s. You were a very sweet kid. Yes I always called you a kid. I enjoyed your company, you were always there when I needed help with anything. When I got the message about your passing I got sick to my stomach and I said Matt why???? Who gave that to you, n why did you do it???? You knew you couldn’t do it, so why Matt??? I’m going to miss you. Watch over us…..until we meet again, fly high with the Angels. My deepest condolences. Stacey
