Although I didn't know Mat as well as a lot of people, I know that he was the love of my niece Stacey's life. They were the perfect match. They packed a lot of love and great memories in the short 3 years they were together. Mat had a great sense of humor, loved his family and friends and really loved Stacey. He gave her love, happiness and 3 beautiful stepchildren if only for a little while. I know Mat felt the love surrounding him. He will be missed. My deepest condolences go out to his family and to my niece Stacey. RIP Mat you will be missed, and never forgotten.
