I had Richard during his senior year at BP in chemistry. He was always a very kind and respectful young man. I am so incredibly sorry for your loss.
Matt and I did kiddie hawks together! His death has me in such shock! He was a great friend and loved by many! I pay for his family and friends!! He is gone but will never be forgotten rest easy
I talked to Mathew a lot in high school when I was with Alex. Even after the break up he always made sure I was okay and was there for me when I needed someone to talk to. He was an amazing friend I will never forget all the advice and the laughs he gave me
Matt was one of my close friends in middle school and like some other people we drifted in high school but usually spoke to each other when we saw each other. Since the 7th grade every time I see a rockstar energy drink I think of him, he’s the reason I even started drinking energy drinks. He never failed to put a smile on my face and everyone who met him loved him.
I talked to Richard alot in middle school and considered him a close friend. We drifted apart in high school but would always say "Hi" to eachother in passing. One of the sweetest people I ever met, he will be truly missed❤️
I knew Matt from 6th-12th grade and he could always make me laugh. It was always a fun class when he was there. Fly high Matt🤞🏻❤️
Rip !!!!
I haven’t seen Matthew since he was a baby, but I’m positive he turned into a wonderful young man! What I do remember is how much joy he brought to his mother, aunts and grandparents! It was like he ignited a fire in everyone’s heart that could never be put out. Callie, I’m so very sorry that you have to go through this. I love you and your family so much! Rest In Peace sweet Matthew.
