Matty loved life. He was adventurous, always ready for the next experience, and had an incredible sense of humor. He was always telling jokes and making the people around him laugh.

My condolences to Matthew’s family, I only knew Matt as a patient. I admired him and the way he stayed positive. He was so kind and as the obituary said, he could light up a room with his personality. God bless him
I was heartbroken to hear about Michael. I know it’s been such a long time, but I remember you and Ralph so fondly, and I remember Michael as well. I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this. There really are no words for losing a child, especially so young. I’m thinking of you both and sending you so much love. Love Paula and Larry Lessard
We are so sad to hear of Matt’s passing , he was such a kind soul our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and kids and his family he will be missed by all
Dear Kimmy and Kathy Linda and Ralph
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Matty was the best and for all he went through he had the most positive spirit, We had a great time working together and he always would make me laugh! I know it’s hard on you all but he was so loved and supported. He loved you all and especially you Kimmy! He adored you. Take care of each other.
Matt was one of my first patients when I started my training. His strength, courage and ability to still see beauty in life has forever changed the way I will practice medicine. His wife Kim was truly his best friend, I believe what they have is true love in its purest form. His life and his legacy will live on in everyone who was lucky enough to know him. Whenever I talk to patients about what strength looks like, Matt is the person I think of and will forever think of.
