Condolence: Please accept my deepest condolences on Matt's passing. The few contacts I had with him showed him to be a great guy, I wish I had gotten to know him better. His family is in my prayers.

Condolence: All of us aviation geeks share a common thread so it goes without saying that I'm profoundly saddened by this sudden and significant loss.

Although I never met Matt personally, that is secondary to the fact he was a great guy who will never be forgotten.

God Bless him and everyone he touched during his short but meaningful life.

Condolence: I worked with Matt a few years ago and I knew him as a sweet, good natured, smart, patient, and funny person. I'm deeply saddened by this news and offer my condolences to his family and fiance.

Condolence: While I had never met Matt personally, I was a frequent visitor of NYCAviation.com and a fellow avgeek and journalist. It is deeply saddening to hear of the passing of such an accomplished, genuine individual, especially at such a young age. My deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers go out to Matt's family.
