   I did not know Matt personally, just in passing at Gold's Gym. I remember seeing his face regularly and was absolutely shocked to see this news. I am so sorry for your loss - know that even those of us who did not know him personally, will be aware that he is gone. I hope, in time, your memories will guide you through the sorrow.

   My prayers a condolences go out to your family. I worked and golfed/frolfed with Matt back in 2010 at J&D Manufacturing. He quickly earned the nickname of "Turbo" because he could do twice the work in the same time as anyone else and always did it the biggest smile and friendliest attitude. He was always pushing the turbo button and made our team so fun to be part of. I feel truly blessed that Matt was part of my life. A candle that burns twice a bright only lasts half as long. You will be missed Turbo.
