Matt died from sudden cardiac arrest 2 weeks after his 13th birthday. He was a kind and loving boy who was always smiling. Matt had two younger brothers who sadly witnessed his death. He played youth baseball, basketball, and soccer. His favorite teams were the Chicago Cubs, Bears and Indiana Pacers. Matt’s classmates planted a tree w/a plaque at the school playground in his memory. His basketball jersey was retired and is hanging in the hall at his grade school. He was so dearly loved, and we miss him every day.
