I have fond memories of Matt while he was our Student at Egremont Community School. He was respectful of one and all while, at the same time, he loved a good joke! His big, brown eyes and his belly laugh brought smiles to everyone!! Our sincere condolences to Matt's family and friends.

My fondest memory of Matt was in elementary school when everyday he would ask if I had a juice box to share with him. This quickly became a reoccurring joke and while I never brought juice boxes in my lunch, if I had I would have gladly gave it to him. My condolences to Matt’s family and friends.
