My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Matt's.
The endless hours we spent finding new dance music on YouTube and then arguing about who has the better playlist. Was always so much fun and I’ll never be able to listen to so many songs without them reminding me of him. Very thankful for that. ❤️

I was saddened when I heard of Matts passing no I was shocked I thought they were talking about someone else .He was the nicest, sweetest. man I have ever met.He was so kind and tried to help everyone.my condolences to the family Yes he will be missed terribly he was one of God's best work
Me and my family moved from Georgia to Tulsa Oklahoma. We were wore out from driving 99 hours. I mean I was dragging. We went to get a room for the night just to sleep and regroup. We went to one and it was disgustingly nasty. We scroll to another one and we were meet by the brightest light I’ve ever seen. He saw us, he treated us like humans and I planned to adopt him to my family as a cousin.
We had some very good conversations and I prayed for him often. I was looking for him one day to talk to him. I saw him in the hall but was busy. I never saw him again. The news hit me really hard. And then I find out the me and Matthew share the same Birthday. He will truly be missed.
I was so heartbroken because I had plans. I was going to invite him to dinner once we found a place and I was going to take him to church with us. Matthew we love you
Rest Well
Matt was one of a kind. His smile and personality lit up the room. He never met a stranger and always was the life of the room. I remember the time you called me because you know I was in Tulsa and we went to get tattoos together. You’ll be missed forever Matt. Rest easy! We love you!
Complete light from the very day I met him. Kind, caring, and the most delightfully funny—an immediate friend, so easy to love. I would have made him my husband if he would have had me. Handsome, down to earth, and the most humbly humorous man around.
It’s been years since I last saw him, but I remember those days so clearly—seeing him every few weeks when he’d come in for a pedicure. Those simple moments meant more than I realized at the time.
My heart is broken for all who love Matt. His personality, his heart, his mind, and his soul were truly one of a kind.
Peace be with all who love and miss him. He is closer to you now than ever before.
May God’s perpetual light shine upon him eternally.
Rest easy my friend~
A lot of late nights were spent cleaning chilis with Matt and every night I learned something new about life but the main thing I learned is that you can never let your past define who you are to this day that you are in charge of who you will be and how you present your self no matter who you used to be.
Matt,
I'm still in disbelief over this. I came to the hotel as a front desk as a young lady in 2021 as my first big move away from home! Where I had met you and became super close with you. You watch me grow up to be who I am now. You seen me go from FD to AGM to GM. You saw me get married to the love of my life and so many good and bad days. You always rescued me anytime I needed it. Once I became GM I asked you to join me in employment with ESA Central. You were worried about your past taking that accomplishment away from you, however I seen all of your potential and I seen you as who you were not for your mistakes. You helped me with everything to the changes and stood by me to make sure I had the support I needed. I will NEVER regret making that decision. I'm proud to have know you. I'm proud I got to call you a friend!❤️ rest easy sweet guy!
Love ,
Danielle cloud
Your ESA FAMILY
