As of this past April 4th, Peter and I have been together for 20 years. Matthew has been part of my sons and my life now for over 20 years.
Here we are again…. that tragic, heartbreaking moment in time where our world stands still.
Thursday after a long day at work, Matthew came home, did a favor for a friend and loaded a vehicle with cut wood. Around 6:00PM he went upstairs to wait until his father arrived to fix the water heater. When Peter arrived, he fixed the water heater then went upstairs to tell his son Matt that he could shower; the hot water was working again! It was around 7:30PM.
When Peter could not wake up Matt, he called 911. Sweet, gentle, kind Matt (32), had passed by the time he arrived at the hospital.
We mourn the loss of Matthew and the wonderful and kind son, brother, nephew, grandson, cousin, friend, coworker he was to all. Born on February 14th, he was a Sweetheart and kind soul to all. We love you and will miss you my dear Matthew for ever and for always.
Please pray for Matthew, his father Peter, brother Nathan, sister Alicia, mother Chris, to help them and ease their unbearable pain that they hold in their hearts at this difficult time. Thank you.
We love you Matthew!
