Matt was one of my first friends when I moved here, and was a beloved part of our gaming group for years and years -- he was my husband's friend first, but then he became our friend, and that meant the world to me. We all miss him so much. He was such an amazing human being.
I am so sorry for your loss. Matt was one of my first friends when I moved to Cleveland and I joined the softball team. We had a lot of fun over the years. He will truly be missed. Love and prayers to friends and family from me and my family.

For someone in a scientific job, Matt also had a wonderful, patient way with his friends' children. I'm so blessed to have watched a young person turn into such a special adult. His Mom and Dad raised him well. God bless.. Pat Jezior
Matt assisted with research that I was a part of and I always appreciated his gentle and compassionate nature. He did not view research as a job so much as a calling that had impact on patient lives. I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with him. I'm so sorry for your loss and pray that you are surrounded with love in your time of grief and loss.
Sincerely, Amy Windover
My condolences to Matt's family. Matt was a Midwest SAS Users Group friend, mentor and colleague and I always appreciated his kind, quiet yet confident nature. Matt could always be counted on to lend a hand to our SAS users group with his vast experience. Rest in peace, Matt.
