Matt was a warm and fun loving person. He loved gaming, fishing, and the outdoors. He especially loved his long family vacations in the lakes region of New Hampshire with his family and his many cousins. He had a passion for cars, and would spend hours repairing, talking about and tinkering with all types of vehicles. He repaired countless number of cars for his family and friends, and never once asked for anything in return. He had a very generous nature that matched his equally big smile.
