I was a coworker with Matt at Allina in the kitchen. I loved his kind heart, his infectious laugh that got us through many days. And yes his love of music especially the oldies. He brought me around to appreciating good ink. He always had a listening ear when I needed to vent about raising teens and college kids he gave me a young adults perspective to calm me down. I will cherish our last FB conversations as we both loved to travel. He was so excited about figuring it out in Florida……another place he wanted to experience.. Know he will be missed and I am grateful that I got to know him.
Sincerely
Jill Hoffman

To all of Matt’s family, words cannot even begin to express my sorrow. May your heart and soul find peace and comfort, my condolences.
Dear Guy and Sandy, I loved Matt and will always cherish our friendship. He was one of the kindest and most polite person that I have met. I will miss our conversations, phone calls and deep talks. I am so grateful for the friendship that he and Stephen had. I look forward to meeting him again, and continue on where we left off. Heaven is just around the corner for all of us, and I am sure that he will have tales to tell. I am so thankful that he knew Jesus, and he is walking in a new freedom. I love you!
Sandy, Guy, Robert, and Chris,
I adored Matt and he will be missed dearly. He was like a brother to me. I am full of memories. I’ve never known anybody who knows as much music trivia as him, and he had more concert tales than anybody. He had a sense of humor that always made me laugh. He saw things from a perspective I wouldn’t have noticed, and I loved his way of telling stories.
He was kind and good to me. Polite and sincere. He would bring me little gifts here and there and always tell me the good things he thought of me and my family.
It has been a privilege to know him for many years. I am sorry for his loss. May you all have a peace and comfort that surpasses understanding.
