Matthew, I am heartbroken that you are gone. You, your sisters and cousins are my own as you all well know. You were such a vibrant and fun-loving kid you’re whole life. You had such a giving soul. Though you struggled over the years, you never lost your gentle soul. I’ll miss you buddy, but know you will always be in my heart. Love your Uncle Scott.
Our love and Prayers to your family at this time of loss. May God bless you with the good memories of this precious family member.
My buddy Matt, you taught me more about myself then you know. Because of you I took the time to understand my native heritage. Your sense of humor makes me laugh today, thinking of the day you brought D O G home. You also taught me about my own mental health at times. I love you, and will miss you. RIH Buddy.
So sad that you have left us Matt. I have known you since you were a boy and consider you part of my family. My heart goes out to all in the Kequom family at this tragic time. Please know I am thinking of each of you. Matt, you will be in our hearts always. Be at peace my friend.
Absolutely shaken by the news of Matt’s passing. I will never forget the times growing up with Matt in the neighborhood, playing all day until the street lights came on. He and I just reminisced last week about that. Horribly sad to know he is gone. Thinking of you Debra, Holly, Brooke and Jadyn, I am heartbroken for you all. Matt will never be forgotten. Ever.
There are no words that can take this pain. Sending love to all of you at this time of mourning. Jayden your dad loved you beyond eternity. Deb he loved you more than you can imagine. From stories i’ve heard and we’ve shared that much is true. Please know I’m thinking of all you and I’m a call away. Love and hugs Deb
