  21. Sherrie Titus says:

    I will always remember my nephew. He used to send me contacts that my eye doctor here would prescribe. He had a sense of humor and was so handsome. Matt and my son Marcus, resembled each other so much..
    He was very close to his older sister, Veronica, and she was with him through many adventures. When Matt got sick Veronica was with him through everything.
    I remember Matt when he was little, and he was so cute and funny. Always had a smile on his face.
    I will miss him, and forever will think of him.. Too young to leave this world, but he will always be remembered.
    Love always Matt
    Love Your Aunt Sherrie🩷💙

    Dear Dr Matt!!! I must say you will be missed dearly. I am going to miss the endless hugs we had everytime you came to work at 486 or just to visit. I’m going to miss bringing you my mother’s banana bread to help you through the day. It hurt to now know that the last time we hugged would be the last, but I am glad I had the chance to tell you ‘i love you’. I’m going to miss you saying “is that the 486 way”….lol. You will light up heaven with your genuine humor and caring demeanor. Rest easy Dr Matt!!!
    Many blessings and prayers of comfort to the parents and family….he was a jewel, thanks for sharing him.
