  7. Matt brought love and laughter to our youth group – every Sunday night, every Burnamwood weekend, every trip, every event. My heart is so heavy. May light and love surround all of you in this difficult time. And may shalom – God\’s peace – surround you in the days ahead. The old Danville Pres PYC and Burnamwood families surround you in prayer. Shalom, Sioux Finney

  30. Matt was a very unique and intuitive individual. Both Matt and I attended the Danville School System. Even though we were a year apart. We were always trying to get a smile out of others even if it was at his expense. That’s how I remember Matt. His happy go lucky witty personality would draw people to congregate around him. You would see smiles and here laughter from wherever he would be. I understand him to be a great father and family man. I was shocked by this untimely and unfortunate news. So with this news, I hope his family may find peace knowing how admired and loved Matt was by so many. I’m sure he would want the people he grew up with to remember his humor and infectious smile, and remember his impactful charismatic attitude. Please R.I.P. brother.

  35. My heart is broken because our community has lost one of its finest young men. He was a close friend of my oldest son, Rob, and a family friend as well. He was also our attorney. I sought his counsel and wise advise on many occasions and he was always thoughtful, personable, and kind. I will sorely miss him. My prayers are fervent for Audrey and the children that he was so proud of. Peace, love, and prayers, Brenda Hendrickson

  75. Matt was such a kind man. He was a pillar of our community and was loved by all who knew him. He helped us with several legal matters in an expert and professional manner. God bless his wonderful family. You will be sorely missed, my friend.

  101. We met Matt 6 years ago when he helped our family through a very difficult time in our lives. My Mom and I were in a very serious car accident and Matt was referred to us through a mutual friend. Matt came to the hospital to meet with me and my family and immediately put us at ease. He made going through a really rough experience more bearable. We would not have been able to navigate the confusing world of insurance without his help and guidance. Even years after the accident, Matt was now a friend and fellow UK fan! He was always the nicest, kindest, funniest, personable guy when we would meet up or when discussing the CATS. Matt will be greatly missed and our hearts goes out to his wife and children. We hope that Matt has found eternal peace and can finally rest easy.

  117. Our hearts are broken for the family. From watching Matt grow in early childhood (He and Rachel were schoolmates at Montessori and Allison was my co-worker) to his becoming an integral member of this community, his was a gentle soul. May he rest peacefully. Prayers of peace, love and light for Audrey and the children.
