Matt’s gift was to make everyone feel special.
I remember watching him work with the YPG to prepare a cooked breakfast for the congregation. Where others might balk at the combination of teenagers and hot pans, he was able to involve them all and no one was without a job. Able to laugh at everything, including himself, he was a wonderful example for the young people (and adults!) in our church over many years.
His interest in and concern for others was always there to see. First to engage a visitor in conversation after the service, his kindness and charm always put others at ease. Matt would never fail to ask after our family, another sign of his care for those around him.
Matt’s energy and enthusiasm made things happen - I will greatly miss his laughter and his friendship.
