Condolence: I remember having Matthew in 7th grade at Marsteller. He was a big sports fan and always would take the time to listen to both sides in a sports debate. He had a great smile and was always friendly to those around him.

Condolence: Sidney, Denise and Jay, so sorry to hear of your loss, we are here for you if you need anything Matthew was a great companion riding around with his grandfather Sidney and they both was by about a month ago. may God be with you all

Condolence: Sidney and Family, so sorry to hear of your loss, he was a great young man and may God be with you all in your time of need, if there is anything we all will be there for you. David Blount, Muddy Carter and George Blount

Condolence: To Matthews Family: We have only known you for a little while, but because of Matthew, from day 1, we knew what a good family we had moving into our neighborhood. Matthew and his grandfather stopped by to meet us (even before the ink was dry on the contract)and he was so excited to be moving to the "country" where the family would be able to breath. He never drove by without waving to us. We are so sorry for your loss and we hope you know we will always be here, if you need us.

Condolence: Jay and Denise my heart breaks for you. I was fortunate to watch Matthew grow up, be part of his life and I loved him as if he was one of my own nephews. He will be missed dearly. My deepest sympathies and love go out to you.

Condolence: Our deepest sympathies, having gotten to know Matthew thru the Ruritans and seeing him at Clark Automotive, A great attitude , he will be missed, Ken Hinkle, Nokesville-Bristow Ruritan

Condolence: Jay, although there is little to say at a time like this, you and your family have my heart felt sympathy for the loss of your son. My deepest condolences during this difficult time. Paul
