I knew Matt through his involvement with the Savannah Lapidary Club some years ago and am so sad to hear of his passing. He was fun to be around, a wealth of knowledge about gems, metals and jewelry and an overall nice guy. My thoughts and prayers go out to his children Garon and Chandler. Rest in peace, Matt...

- Cheryl Sanders, Richmond Hill, GA

I have know Matt for many years...although I am closer to his sister Caroline, I considered Matt a good friend. I haven't seen him in many years, but I wanted to share something with you. Not too long ago, I came "home" (Savannah) to visit my Mother (She worked with Matt and thought a lot of him!). While we were out roaming the town, Matt came by her house and left a cooler full of food! What a great guy! May God continue to bless and comfort you all!

I am sorry for your loss. Death is painful to all of us. However God's word the Bible always offers encouragement. A scripture I find comforting is Isaiah 25:8. There Jehovah promises to do away with death and all things that bring us pain. That will be very satisfying! I hope this thought has been comforting to you. May positive thoughts fill you hearts and minds as you endure this difficult time.

My sincerest condolences go out to your family, it's never easy losing someone in death. May you take comfort in God's promise found at Revelation 21:4, which says "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” This verse brought me peace when I experienced loss, I hope it can do the same for you. May the memories you have give you strength during this difficult time.
