9 May 2025I was so shocked and deeply saddened. I loved Matt like a son. He was so kind and caring and his smile would light up a room. He had the best laugh. Everyone who met Matt immediately liked him. I know he hated it but I always called him Matti but I felt he was one of my children. He graduated with my daughter Gena at Truman high school.
