My condolences to the family. I will always remember Matt as a young man full of happiness and fun in the stands during our high school games. May God bless and comfort all of you.
Kathy Vaughn and family so sorry for the loss of your son Matt no words could be said to comfort you in this time of loss . I know it is hard to lose a loved one and God will not put more on you than you can handle. You all are in our prayers.
I actually met Matt at Sunday school. We went on to be in the same class. I can remember in fourth grade he told me he couldn't ask me to be his girlfriend because I was his friend Brent Strain's girlfriend. But it was after graduation that I have the most memories of Matt. He was there for me through the hardest parts of my young life. I'm sure I thanked him but I'm not sure he ever knew how much it meant to me. The world and our small community has lost a truly great man. I'm so thankful for all the great memories.your family will remain in my thoughts.
Kathy, Vaughn and girls so sorry for your loss. Prayers for healing.
Kathy Vaughn and family, we are heartbroken for your loss. We pray for your comfort. Nothing can be said to make this bearable but knowing your faith you will get thru this one day at a time. We love you.
