Tell Us About Them:

Matthew has struggled with addiction for many years. He was a kind, lovely, funny and giving when he was clean. He would light up a room as soon as soon as he walked into it. His laugh was unique and it was totally contagious. He loved like no other. He would give you the shirt of his back. He loved you like there was no tomorrow. He will be greatly missed and is loved by so many people.
