Hey baby brother. Doesn't seem like anyone comes on here anymore. It was about to expire,so I renewed it for you. I can't image another thing about/for you disappearing. I miss you so much. Just waiting for you to come over sometime....or sown thing. I'm trying to take care of mom. Christmas is on Sunday with her. Feel free to show up. Love you so much. Sister.

Hey Matt. We didn't talk much before you left...and we didn't get along all the time. But, I do still think about you. I miss you quite a bit. There are so many things I wish I could have told you and could have said to you. I love you Matt. I know I will see you again someday. So we can talk and I can give you a hug again. Love, Jayde

I miss youu.. I miss you coming to my Table at lunch to steal my and Kristens' food. And I would always ask why? You would say, "because I don't have Money". Lol. I miss watching you play football!! I miss you thinking about youu. I can't wait to see you somedayy :) Love youu.

Even several years later I think of you frequently. I try to live the way you did, trusting in God and steadfast in faith. You were always there for me, more than you knew. You and Brad made Sunday School fun for the junior high kids, and gave us someone to look up to. After losing both you and Armando I have struggled with my faith but I feel like I am stronger as a result of the great grief I have felt. I know I will see you again when my time comes. Always thinking of you, Matt.

Hello my son #4. You have been on my mind everyday. I CAN NOT every forget you, you hold a very speciall place in my heart. You added so much to my life. I know if you were here today there would be laughing, joy, and happiness ( and yes fireworks)!I hold on to your love for me and my sons, until we meet again! Love always, Mom #2

Hey sweet boy it's me. mom. If you get this twice it is cuz your not here to help me with computer stuff. You would be 19 today, all grown up, a man not a boy. I miss you each second of every day. i think of you everywhere, but exits on the freeway are now get offs, up is upezze and so many more things. Thanks for the feathers and other hints that you and God are always next to me. Megan and I are going to get orange ballons and send them to you and mint ice cream for us in your honor. Armando is sick watch over him. Jake needs you too and your sister misses you so. We all miss you, this place is just not the same with you gone, but how glad I am that your were here and we were blessed by knowing you. Love you sweet boy. Mom

Today would have been the start off to college... Miss you

Miss your smile

I remember when I first met you, and what a giant I thought you were. As we became friends we soon learned we didn't always see eye to eye on everything and I wouldn't always take your advise with welcomed arms but you always were right... I wish I could hear some of your wise words right about now. I can't believe I am saying this but I miss all the short jokes. Wow! I never thought I'd say that... I have the picture from junior high when you were resting your arm on my head... its in my binder haha. There isn't a day that passes that you don't cross my mind I miss you and love you matthew!

Matt, I met you on the first day of school during the first year of my life here in Arizona. You terrified me with your height. You could've easily stepped on me and not even have noticed. I know that my height issues were what made me laugh for a good five minutes every day and you have no idea how much I miss you coming up to me and saying , "Hey shorty, how's the weather down there?" every morning before using my head as an arm rest. At the time, it was the most annoying wake-up call I had ever encountered in my life but these days it's sorely missed. We used to debate over who was better Chevy or Ford and Jake usually had some sort of input. You were always the ford boy and I joined you on that team but made fun of you for liking that company anyway. It was hilarious, watching you and Jake duke it out. We used to stand just outside of Mr. Brenner's classroom evety morning and sometimes during recess. Usually, you were too busy playing football to come and chat with us girls, but you never failed to make us laugh whenever you did come over. For some reason, and to this day I still don't know why, whenever I had a problem I ended up calling you. Strangely enough, I always seemed to call at the lastest hour possible but you never complained and always stayed on the phone and listened to what I had to say, or rather, vent. I can still hear you telling me to go back inside because it's too dark outto be taking a walk around my neighborhood. Thank you for always watching out for me. I think about you every day and pray for your family and friends every night. It's been hard. Everywhere I go, I see you. I can't walk into a pizza parlor without thinking about the christmas party I had at my house. Smashing pizza in your face was the highlight of my evening. Doors or everywhere, but for the life of my I can't seem to find the right one. I know I confuse everyone when I talk about that blasted door, but it's my favourite inside joke that I had with you. I run into walls occasionally but I know that God's there to cusion them ;P. I miss you so much, Matt. I love you, too, even if you did call me a smurf and use me as an arm rest. All of my love, Allie.

Hi big guy,it's mom#2. I can't begin to say how much you mean to me.You were my 4th son so to speak.I still miss you soooo much.Somehow someway you always knew when I needed one of your loving huges and telling me "Don't worry Lori "IT'S ALL GOOD!" You were so tall your arms wrapped around my shoulders! I know you would be very proud of your mom and Megan,they are both doing amazing! Your passing has shown alot of us how strong we are because of you and your love you gave freely. I know in my heart that when it is my time to join you ,you will be there for me again.For now I rejoice when I think of you(ok I know you know I still cry), and treasure all the memories of you I hold so dear to my heart! There is so much more I want you to know and just can't say right now(yes I'm crying)! I LOVE YOU THORSON! Lori

I was watching tv a few days ago and a teenage boy said your line. I was so angry. It is Matty's line and it isn't all good anymore. There is a huge hole in our family and we can't seem to figure how to fill it. As you can tell dear boy your cousin is still stuck in the anger stage! So your little reminder came through that tv show and I will remember to keep it close to me. Just knowing you for your short time here was all good. Love you, Miss you Barb (Think I'll go get some ice cream now!)

Well, Matt, it's VBS week at church and I will always remember the fun we had during this week every year. I would be upset or going crazy about something and you were always telling me it would be ok and giving me a hug-I miss your bear hugs. The energy you brought to the week was catchy , you were even happy taking the garbage out and it was a lot of garbage! Smiling and laughing the whole time. Your joy was contagious. The other kids always listened to you and did what you asked-I was so impressed by your leadership at such a young age. It is so hard to understand why this happened but I try to focus on the gift of your life , and the resurrection, knowing that we will see you again someday. The void that was left in our lives will be filled back up on that glorious day. Until then, we will take care of your mom, so do not worry. She has to take care of everyone else first but we will make sure she is ok. Miss you- Lori H

Hey Matthew it's mom, Thanks for the heart cloud yesterday. Someitme I know I can feel you standing behind me, I miss you so much, life will never be the same. I am trying my best to take care of Megan, Kayleen and Jake for you and mamma Lori too. Sending Joey to football camp this year for you,Coach K says he will do well if he can just stay away from the girls! Everyone has been good to me since you left, I beleive that is God's Grace at work. Having faith issues right now, not sure why your gone. Everyday is a struggle, but as Steve told me I try to keep my chin up. I want you to know I love you today, yesterday and tomorrow. Mom

Happy 18th B-day. We really miss you but know that you are never far from any of us. I keep getting the white feathers and know that you have sent another hello form the great beyond and it lways makes me smile. Jenn and Justin are busy on your project. I just talked to your mom but then I know you already know that. You were our special guy and not everyone can claim you as their special angel. Say hi to Grandma and Granpa and don't get into too much mischief with Uncle Tommy. Until the next white feather... Auntie Poo

Wow, I can hardly believe that you would be 18 today. Just seems like yesterday you were in a stroller looking up in wonder at the world and all of the strange people making a fuss over your bright eyes and contagious smile. Then to see you running around with Justin pretending to be superheroes...moving on to the beach where you and Jake could hardly stop talking about the girls - then all of a sudden...football, football, football - I will never again see the number 65 without thinking of you. I feel robbed that we will not know you as an adult but know that even though your time here was brief, we all saw a glimmer of the wonderful man you were becoming. We are all so very blessed to have had you as a part of our family. Rest easy handsome boy. Love you, javascript:void(null) Jenn (ie) (Justin and I are taking care of the idea!)

God Bless you Matthew. I don't know what ended your life so young but it was too soon to go. I know you are in the best hands now and are no longer in pain. My best wishes to the family and friends of this beautiful young man.
