I can't believe you're gone Matt. From the time we met I can't recall ever having a bad time, a cross word, or an argument or unpleasantness. You had a way of being respectful & cordial even during disagreements. Every time we hung out you were smiling, funny, & optimistic; often the bright spot in the room. It was a joy to work with you on the few musical projects we did & I regret not getting to play on more of them. Moreover, I hate the distance that adult life puts between friends. Your passing is absolutely a call to cherish & connect with our friends & acquaintances often & without inhibition; I am sorry that I let so much time go between catching up.
I hope heaven is full of delicious foods you love and plenty of guitars & people to collaborate with. You are sorely missed and gone too soon.

Mathieu, you spoke your words through the music you played and shared with others. You will be deeply missed so much! I am so grateful to be your Auntie. I have lit a candle today in memory and honor of you my dear nephew. You are so in a wonderful place now. We will be looking for you in heaven someday. God bless your kindness to animals. You are bringing family members together in a very much needed way with your positive energy you are sharing in all of us. We love you and keep you in our hearts always. Hugs and Love....Auntie and Uncle.

Mathieu, you are an amazing young man! So blessed you are my nephew! You will forever be in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers! The unconditional love you shared with your dog Bella and cat Mr. Butters will forever touch our hearts. There is no greater love than the love of an animal. They too know what love and companionship is. I hope one day Bella and Mr. Butters will join you at heaven's gate, but hope for now they live their life together in a loving home with you as their spiritual guide to watch over them. We are so taken and moved by how you touched everyone with your heart, your compassion for life, your love of music and cooking. You saw the beauty in life's simplest things through god's creatures, sunsets, sunrises, and just spending valuable time with your dog Bella and cat Mr. Butters. You are an inspiration to us and will forever be remembered by everyone your heart touched.
Love you, Beth and Dan Perron. Your Aunt and Uncle in Washington state with our dogs Legend, Sophie, and Mason... woof woof woof.

We love you Mat!! Always have, always will & it will never stop. You are the animal whisperer w an exceptional gift of being always true to yourself while blessing us in the world w your soulful flair infused into everything: your relationships, your music, your poetry, your good cooking. I will always Advocate that your pets stay together and be available to take them both including if anything happens hindering any of the current plans for each. I'd like to think you are singing and playing your guitar on the other side, appointed by God Himself, to hang out & love on all the departed pets from this world... Mine sure love you, as I did! Please give Abby an extra kiss for me. They will know you as family.
We will laugh at shared memories honoring you as this lifts you up, still in love. I'm sure Uncle Mike has greeted you. Ask him about how he came through to me through a patient to let me know he still loves us, sees us from the other side, as I am sure you now do, too.
I am so elated that you are aware of so much more, beyond our control or wishes, than we can even comprehend here!
As you were on loan to us, by God, it is so clear you finished an exceptional job and impacted many even by your unfair departure, so young. You did great, Mat! I am mostly going to miss your authenticity & kind heart, especially to animals.
Til we meet again...
We love you! ♥️♥️♥️
