The last time I saw Matt was at my birthday party in 2021. This week, I was trying to get a hold of him to get his address to send him an invitation to my next birthday party. I knew something was up when Matt's cell phone came back with a reply of a wrong number and his email bounced back, but didn't realize it was this. I met Matt at ReadyTalk, we were co-workers, but became fast friends. What a tragic loss. Sending my condolences to his family. May Matt rest in peace.

I first met Matt when interviewing him for the SCM (DevOps) job at McDATA. I liked him right away - he seemed driven and intelligent. Of course, we ended up hiring him. Not only did we gain a competent coworker, but many of us at McDATA found a new friend as well.

He always enjoyed a good laugh.. Quick witted, he could make the day go by easier with his light-hearted sarcasm or one of his creative (though harmless) pranks. If one of us was going to give a presentation, Matt would find a way to inset extra slides into the deck - things like “how a bill becomes a law, or a summary of the Louisiana Purchase. These additions would no doubt threw us off mid-presentation. And, we knew exactly who put the extraneous slides in there. I also remember him leaving nuts and bolts underneath my office chair so that I would become paranoid about it collapsing. Or, on my last day in the DevOps department prior to transitioning to software engineering, his parting-prank of installing an extra wall to my cubical - fully enclosing my workspace so that I could not get in. So, you could say he was resourceful, too.

I’ll remember Matt as humorous, kind hearted, and clever. We’ve lost him too soon. I’ll miss him.
