Matthew was the most amazing person. He could brighten up your day with his smile or sense of humor. He made friends easily and would always help when he could. He always encouraged others. He was an outdoors person. Loved Hunting and Fishing. Matthew loved Football and played with a passion. He loved being a Soldier the most. He was a medic in the United States Army; something that he was very proud of and looked forward to helping others. It broke his heart to be Medically Retired from the Military. He loved Animals. He even trained a couple of wild mustangs. He loved his family as well as his military family. He loved his girlfriend, Marina and her family very much. He loved playing Play Station online with his brother, Jonathan and nephew Max. He also loved meeting new people through Play Station. He met a wonderful man named Trent Gilbert and his family that we too adored. As everyone knows, he loved TEXAS and the Cowboys. Matthew was going to school and wanted to become a Doctor. He had so many things he wanted to do. Matthews Dad and I want to thank everyone for their prayers and support during this tragic time. Matthew will be truly missed by all. He will be forever in our hearts. A Special Thank You to the Krogh Family for all of the help and support in Washington.
