Memories of Matt / Christina Mercer (Lohr) (Friend) Matt everynight I pray to you, to keep my family and your loved ones safe. I say a little pray to you, and then I can go to bed. I wish you would have been there to see Sarah in her Maid of Honor dress at my wedding. She was so beautiful. We all miss you so much. I have all of these memories of us. Like when you and Sarah stayed the night with me and Tyler, and Dezi's first birthday you thought it would be funny to get her playdoh. Cause you knew she would smash it into my carpet. Remember Sarahs birthday party at the skating rink, that was alot of fun. Remember Jillians when we went bowling and me and you made all kinds of funny faces, that was hilarious. I went through my high school scrapbook and found all kinds of pictures of you. They were all funny. Remember when we were building for project grad, and you were lieing on your belly on one of those rolly carts. Aww the memorys. I have alot of pictures of you in the ninth grade they are so funny. One you are grabbing your butt, and another you are holding your chin. I will always carry these memories with me. Thank you Matt for all the fun times, and sorry for all the sad ones. Love you.
Even though I've wrote to you before, I can't stop myself because your in my thoughts always. I see your pictures on this site and cannot help but smile, because just to see them gives me such a warmth that I cannot describe. Not alot of people know that we had an argument when you decided you wanted to go on the road with your work. We made our peace but the reason why I got so upset is because not only did Sarah need you but Ethan needed you so much. He missed you so much as we all did. But we all realized that you had to do what was right for you and it was not fair to hold you back......We always knew you'd find your way back.....and you did. I regret what happened between us but I think it made us stronger. I truly felt we'd have more time to be a family (even though you already have a great one). Just know that our love for you will never diminish, and we will talk often. I love you Matt

What I have left of him... / Kellie Collins (sister)
To Matt there was something special about everyone he knew. He didn't try to make someone mad, instead it was the opposite! He was outgoing and loved to be around his friends and some how when someone was down he cracked a joke to make them happy! He may be gone, but he is actually is. He is in your heart and in your memories...what you remember is what I try to keep dear to me every day. I go to school every day keeping my head up high, doing what Matt would have wanted me to do. Before class starts I sit there in a desk and pray that Matt looks after me...I know that he is, but I feel alone. I can't wait 'til that day comes when i get to see him again. The days that are hard are really hard for me, because when I messed up at home or something and I was sad Matt was the one I called. Now I don't have anyone to look forward to talking to! Its hard for me and that will never change, but all i have left are memories frozen in time that I have to wait for to relive...its only a matter of time until we are all together again! YOUR FOREVER IN MY HEART BUBBY AND FOREVERIN MY MIND!! love ya 4eva!!
I miss You / Amy Hardin (Friend) I grew up down the street from Matt and can still remember when we were little playing on the playground. I regret not being closer to Matt than I was because he was an awesome person. He will always be missed and loved here. I send my deepest condolences to the family...
Missing You / Erica Beckett (Friend) Matt was a beautiful person...he could do anything to make anyone smile!! His personality could attract anyone into his life!! He was a great friend. I grew up with Matt, from preschool to Senior year not once can I remember a time when Matt and I didn't get along. I wish he wer still here, but God takes everyone for a reason. He needed him more up there, to look after the rest of us down here. He'll always be here with us in our hearts and we will always think of him!! GOD BLESS!! We love you Matt!!
I wish I was there / Douglas Mutsch (Friend) Matt was a great guy as well as a great friend . He was always straight up and could always make you laugh about anything and tha I will always remember. I say I wish I was there because I am in the Army and in Korea right now and didn't find out till later that he had passed away and I wish I could of been at the funeral to show my condolences, but Matt will always be in our hearts and mind no matter where he is. I am glad to say I am in the Army defending our country and proudly defending peoples freedom such as Matts so he can live a good and happy but life takes people away from us, but God maybe has a bigger future for Matt but we well always keep him in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.
Good Friend / AJ Webster (friend) I've known Matt since the 6th or 7th grade, he was always quiet and kept to himself, but if he had something on his mind he would tell you, he didnt pull any punches, always real. I admired that, and grew to respect that. He helped me when i was having girl trouble, with a particular girl in high school, i felt with him and ryan turner at my side we were invincible, we would crack jokes mostly on ryan for who he was dating, then on me for what stupid thing i was doing at the time. I got a phone call before Matt passed,by ryan turner and i was telling him about my camaro i had and i told ryan to tell matt that i was coming home in november that i would take him out for his late 21st birthday, then one night ryan called me and told me that Matt was gone, i couldnt believe it a man that i grew up with and one of my closest friends is gone, Matt will be missed great deal, he was/is my best friend and my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone this holiday season
Do you remember when.... / Danielle Taylor (Lil' Sis in-law )
To my Brother in- law, There is so much in my mind and heart to say that it is impossible to put all of it in words. From the day I met you I knew in my heart that we would be close. Not only were you dating my sister, you was a very dear friend to me as well. We shared so many memories together that I will never forget. In my mind you are my brother and I love you so much. You filled a room full of people with smiles, you could make anybody's mood change from bad to good at the drop of a dime, you taught me lessons like a brother would. Remember when you worked at Shoneys and I came in and got reflector tags and covered your car in them, you got me back twice at bad, I think I counted 175 tags in my room, all over my bed, on my mirror, on my ceiling and a message on my floor made with them that read HA HA HA. You are family to me. You were crazy just like one of us, you fit right in. Then the best time of my life - Our Tennessee Vacation - you were right along with us. Remember when you and Sarah were fighting and you took a walk around the lodge. You came back out of breath and said that you saw a bear, then when we walked back to the place you say the bear, it ended up being a bush that looked like one. That was the good times. We made fun of you so bad and you just laughed right along with us. Thats why I looked up to you. You were so inspirational, even though some of the things you said was off the wall, they made sense to me and that was all that mattered in my head. I just want you to know that I love ya so much and I know you are looking down on your family and friends smiling. love always and forever your lil' sis in law Danielle
To the Son I wish I had / Paula Taylor (Son I wish I had ) Matt...
Not only do I pray for you every night but I also ask you to look after Ethan. He loves you so much and as long as there is a breath in my body, he will always know you and remember the "daddy" that watched him come into this world. We all miss your gentle eyes and your sweet smile. I truly hope that Ethan grows up to be just like you. I told your mother that I always thought you would one day be my son in law....but you were always my friend and I believe that is more important. I was so blessed to have been in your presence and I think of you often. You were so proud the day Ethan was born because I believe in your heart that no one could ever take him away from you, for the simple fact that he was a part of you. When we went on vacation together, you made it worth the trip. You had us all laughing and it wouldn't have been the same if you hadn't went. You are our angel....our best friend.....our son.
