Matthew,
I’m still hoping one morning we will all wake up and this will have just been a bad dream. I really can’t process it at all, and I’m not sure any of us will ever be able to. I know we didn’t see each other as frequent as some cousins do but every time we were all together it was always full of laughs. I looked forward to every single Christmas Eve at mommom and granddad’s because I knew we would all be together and would end up laughing until we had tears in our eyes. I blame both of our moms for the laughter because they’re a mess when they get together! Last Christmas Eve was definitely my favorite, and I will always hold that memory of you in the front of my mind. I am so thankful to have so many memories with you growing up. I know you’re at peace, but I selfishly wish you were still physically here. I love you so much Matthew, I really hope you know that. Please give pop pop Roy and pop Crandell a big hug and kiss from us all. I really can’t wait to see you again!
Love you forever,
Brittney
Our heart felt sympathies go out to Michele and Perry for the loss of their precious son. Matthew brought such joy and light to our lives and he will be sorely missed. His smile lit up the room. The family is in our thoughts and prayers. Paula & Paul Robison
So sorry for your loss. The last time I saw Sully was the morning I had to find his friend Gabe. From the living room of the house he was living at I could see his bedroom sitting on the side of his bed. Sully could only shake his head “yes” at the two questions I asked him because he knew if he came out he was going to get the phone handed to him and get a chewing out from his Mom. Every time I think of this I start to laugh just remembering the expression on his face that morning. Sully you can now RIP.
My deepest condolences to Scott, Michele, Adam, and the entire family. I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot possibly express my sincerest Sympathy.
I will always keep fond memories of watching Matthew grow up. His adorable red hair, sweet smile, and when he was 5, the realization that he was not going to run wild and get away with it! And we both share the same birthday born on the cusp, being a Leo foremost with a slight hint of Virgo. I’ll never forget our kids growing up together and none of them ‘really’ talking or hanging out because it wasn’t the cool thing to do (I think they were so exhausted and sleep deprived from catching the bus so early). Seeing Matthew play basketball for hours on end with his family always brought joy to my heart.
May God bring comfort to you and your family. And, may Matthew soar with the angels high in the Heavens.
I’m going to miss you Sully. You started out as my best friend in biology in 10th grade and remained friends ever since. Every time we crossed paths there was so much laughter and memories I will always cherish. He was always soft spoken but had the best response to anything. I have never known anyone quite like him. I’m very sorry for his families loss. You gave us such an amazing person.
Sully, you were and still are a brother to me. Our time together in life was by far the most meaningful experience I’ve ever had. We used to refer to ourselves not as friends, but as “life partners. We intended to go through every step of life together. Our lives together were not perfect, but we did our best in everything we did. Everything I’ve had in life is meaningless relative to the sound of your laughter, to the memories of our times together, and the dreams of our future lives. Everyday since you’ve passed I have tried to live for you, for us. You are still here with me, walking every step together, just like we used to and always will.
I love you, man. Hope there’s Brisk tea up there.
