  17. Matt was a such a special person, beautiful soul…he will be missed dearly!!!I worked out with him for 15+years. He always kept me laughing. We are both die hard CHIEFS fans and I am sure his life was made the moment the CHIEFS won the Superbowl. Talking about football, sharks and working out was our thing. I had just seen him right before the YMCA shut down. He was always a fixture at the gym, which is one of the reasons I always loved going to the gym, to visit with him and all the other friends that were our core group. Matt, my the Lord hold you in his arms and tell you you are worthy and loved, your the most precious child of his. With love…… Angela
