Who is Matt?
Matt was a dad to a family of 5, a son to a family of 4, and a friend to all. Matt had multiple amputations to both of his legs, resulting in one above the knee amputation, and a below the knee amputation. After a long fight, Matthew passed away on October 6, 2019. At 39 years old, he had left behind a legacy. He was an avid Boston sports fan, loved his family trips to Cape Cod, MA, Marvel movies, pinball games, and computers. But most of all he loved his family.
