I am so blessed to have known Matt. He was such a great friend and really knew his job. I could count on Matt for some subtle humor that I didn’t always get at the time. Later it would hit me. I did cherish our time together and I think he did too. He cared deeply for his people Rest easy Matt. You came and you gave and the people who knew you are better for it.

Matt was the kindest, sweetest man & the calm to my storm. He was gentle with me even in the darkest moments.

Heartfelt prayers to the family and friends of Matt. He was a neighbor of mine only 2 houses down the road.
I am so sorry for your loss. I had the great opportunity of working with Matt at RK&K. Matt was very quiet person when I first started and would meet with him on the projects. That soon changed as we got to know each other. Our working relationship soon become that and a strong friendship. Matt was a very intelligent young man that took his work seriously and thrived to do his best. Matt took pride in his part of construction of highways and bridges. He enjoyed the outdoors especially fishing on the coast which he shared many stories with me as it also let me reminisce of my fishing trips years ago. He even laughed at this old man's fishing tales. He loved his family very much and often spoke of them. He reminded me so much of my own sons. Always respectful and thankful for me visiting with him. I pray God gives you comfort and understanding. Matt you will be missed greatly and our RK&K family will always treasure our memories of you. Rest in peace my friend.

In January of 2020, a quiet, keep-to-himself kind of guy moved in beside our family. He had no idea he was moving in beside the chattiest five-year-old who had personal boundaries. Our middle son, Gavin, was so excited to have a new neighbor. When Gavin found out our new neighbor had a cat & a truck with flashing lights, he would watch out our front door until Matt got home from work. Gavin would run out to greet him, turn the lights on & off in his truck, say hey to Tabitha, talk Matt’s ear off & come home. Over the past five & half years, not much had changed. Gavin knew Matt's schedule, he would talk to Matt every chance he got, even got his number to just call & talk sometimes. I think Matt enjoyed those conversations just as much as Gavin.
While it wasn't your typical friendship, I know it is one Gavin will always cherish.
