I will forever be grateful for the great times we had at the station and on calls. The stories he would tell us always had his flair and just the way he would tell stories would keep you on the edge of your seat. His laugh will continue echo through these walls. We know he will watch over us and keep us safe. Rest easy Matt. We'll take it from here.

Special thanks to Scotch Irish Fire Dept for standing by for us during the visitation. Cooleemee Fire Department for standing by for us during the funeral. And Mooresville Fire-Rescue Honor Guard. The service for Matt was beautiful.
