Uncle Steve, Aunt Margie, Laurie, Angie and the rest of our extended family...
I am at a loss for words (which is unusual for me) to even begin to imagine how to put anything into words how sad I am for your loss. I guess the best thing is to express our Thanks to him for all he did for animals. His calling on this earth was something not many will take on. I believe he went to spend Grandma's birthday

Matt was a dedicated Pitt bull advocate and when the call came to stand up and represent them in our community he never hesitated. He took Tyson in when we couldn't find him a home, and he and Michelle saved several other dogs personally as well. Michelle, please know that we are all here for you and that we all share your grief over his loss. Matt, I hope you knew how much you were loved and appreciated. I know you will be an angel on the rainbow bridge.

Matt possessed an impressive knowledge of dogs and a great commitment to pit bulls. As president and founder of Fort Wayne Pit Bull Coalition, he accomplished something important. We miss him as a guide, a role model, and a friend. I admired Matt, and I miss him.

To my dear Cousin! You will always remain in my heart! I will keep the fond memory of your green bug and having you, me, Angie, Jason, and some of your friends all squeeze in that small little thing so we could take a ride with you. We were all laughing and listening to music! One day, we will all ride with you, laugh with you, and listen to music with you again! Until then, you will be deeply missed!
