Matt and i grew up together through church and had many great times enjoying youth events and challenging each other on the basketball court. I’ll never forget you friend. Love and prayers to the family. Jason McCray
I had the pleasure to get to know Matt over 20 years at Koch. And lucky for us our families also got to know each other through church for the last 15. Matt was a great person to chat with. Could be at work in the hallway or after mass over a donut and coffee. He will be greatly missed. He helped raise 5 wonderful kids and I expect he will continue to watch over and guide them over the years to come.
