I volunteered in the office at Wilmington Christian Academy when Matt was the administrator. He always had a twinkle in his eye, enjoyed a good practical joke, and loved the kids as if they were his own. He journeyed well through his too short of life and will not be forgotten. All our sympathies to his family.
