Kimmy. I am so very sorrowful about your loss. You always spoke so highly about your 2 boys. They were into everything in school my children were involved with. I can not imagine how you are feeling, but my hope, with all the people around you, that you have the support you need.

When I received the news of Matthew’s passing, my heart shattered. Although I hadn’t seen him in years, I have very fond memories of him when he was attending Genesee Country Christian School with my daughters. To Matthew’s family and close friends, my heart grieves with you and for you. I offer the only thing I am able, which is to lift you up in prayer. Please stay strong in your faith even during these unbearable times of grief. God bless you.
I had the pleasure of having both Matthew and Madi as students when I taught 7th grade English as a long-term substitute teacher at Livonia. Matthew was such an intelligent, thoughtful, and helpful student and I am so sad to hear of his passing. While I did not know Matthew for a long time, he left such a positive impression on me and was a truly wonderful young man. My thoughts are with your family, as well as Madi, during this incredibly difficult time.
Being a grade below him, I didn’t know Matt too well in high school. We did share some classes though, and he always made me feel like I was his best friend every time. Praying for you all.
I was so incredibly saddened to hear about Matthew’s passing. I’m lifting you all in prayer and love. He was an outstanding member of this community and such an incredible friend to so many. I pray his smile and love lives on in all of you forever. He will be forever missed. God bless you all.
Praying for the God of comfort to give you strength, comfort and peace at this very sad time. There are so many people who are praying for all of you. Dan and Kay Walkley and family
