This is fron Daniel Patterson Matty's brother. Dear brother and friend Matthew Patterson, I will remember everything. I will remember waking up early on Christmas day to wake our parents up. I will remember looking for Easter eggs in the backyard and trading candy. I will remember us fighting and reconciling. I will remember visiting grandparents in Missouri and playing farkle while eating grandma's home made bread. I will miss staying up late to watch SNL behind our parents backs. I will miss singing/listening to Toby Mac and Brandon Heath with you. I will miss you asking for me to listen to you play the guitar. You always played great. I will miss you telling me jokes from your joke book and laughing. I will miss you laughing at your own jokes and making everybody laugh even when the joke wasn't funny. I miss sledding down the hills on a snowy day and having mom make us hot coco afterwards. I will miss making forts out of pillows and sheets and being so proud of it. I will miss watching the ninja turtles than dancing afterwords. I will remember you making my dinner and my bed, and tucking me in when I was little. I will remember birthdays when you would blow out my candles. I will miss you playing guitar for youth group (it was awesome). I will remember when you woke everybody up in the hotel in Florida during Bigstuff because you laughed so loud. I will remember you getting hit in the pants with a water balloon during a youth group game and laughing your laugh. Most of all I won't forget what I learned from you. I learned to be myself no matter what, always help somebody who needs help, to be nice and offer a tic tac to somebody new, laugh even if nobody else is, there is no limit to smiling, to be a friend to whoever it is (popularity doesn't matter). I will have pain and depression the rest of my life from you not being here but I will make it because god is always with me. I am happy to have known my brother Matty for 14 years of my life. How lucky am I to have something saying goodbye so hard.
