He graduated from St.Marks High School in 2011; attended Wilmington University; and was enrolled in a firefighter academy in Naples, Florida. He was also a certified personal trainer. Matt had a beautiful smile and could light up any room. He enjoyed life and loved his family dearly. He would do anything he could to help a friend in need. He never let life's challenges get in his way and his resilience was amazing. Matt was a fighter and his corner was always filled with friends and family rooting for him. He was a creative thinker and loved the outdoors. He loved to hike in nature, fish, walk the beach, lift weights, watch movies, eat good food, and just hang out with family and friends. He loved all animals, especially his two cats Rajah and Jasmine. Due to the Covid pandemic, there will be no service at this time.
