Matt moved to Chicago and lived with me for a year. One of the many memories I have is when he ask me to pull over so I did, matt got out l, walked over and started pushing an old ladies car to side of the road that was blocking traffic. He did little things regularly…think about u everyday

Last time I saw him he gave me a hug (shocked me, that wasn't a matt kern thing to do.) And he said " you never know, I may never see you again." Never forget you little brother.
