Matthew Young

Unique, Amazing and Troubled Individual

What Matthew was like

Matthew is my first-born son, and one of the most amazing individuals that I had the privilege of knowing. He was loved by so many, and has been missed greatly since his passing.

Fondest memories of Matthew

I cannot come up with just one favorite memory. There were so many! He was with me for 21 years, 7 months & 3 days, and each of those days have beautiful (and some not-so-beautiful) memories. All of the memories are treasures now.

How Matthew will be missed

Everything except the substance abuse.

How Matthew will be remembered

He would want to be remembered as somebody who loved to help people and do whatever he could to make people smile. And that is what he did. He loved his family and friends unconditionally and would do anything he could to help anybody he encountered. He also would do whatever he could to make people smile. He also had a twisted sense of humor that he shared with everybody! And he was not ashamed to say he was a mama's boy, LOL!
