Michigan Memorial Cemetery · Flat Rock, Michigan
When I see you again, after a long long while, When I see you again, and I behold your smile, I’d look in your eyes as though we’ve only met, I’d look at you as though no tears were ever shed. When I see you again, after all the sleepless nights, When I see you again, after darkness flees the sky, I’d take your hand and hold you real tight, I’d make you feel that this time, things would turn out right. When I see you again, after fearing you’re forever gone, When I see you again, after missing you so much, I’d give you my heart so you’d never be alone, I’d make certain that this time, I won’t ever let you go.
Life story

Matthew was a loving, loyal individual. Most importantly he was the best Dad and loved his two children Ava and Travis with all of his heart and never anything less. He was a huge family man with the purest heart. He was the type of person who’d give a stranger the shirt off of his back. With a smile on his face and joy from doing so.He loved dirtbikes, playing guitar, fishing, hunting, camping, snowboarding, anything outdoors and loved being crazy!
