I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel, the infamous quote by, Maya Angelou. Matt embodied this. There was never a person that’s met Matt, who hasn’t experienced the pure joy of his smile, the comfort, of his laugh, and the reminder of how he always made us feel. He will be missed so deeply and we all will just have to find a new way to feel him.
