Matt spent the majority of his life fighting Multiple Sclerosis, but never let his disease dull his passion for life. A few of the many things Matt loved included meeting new people, scratching lottery tickets, spending time at Foxwoods, working at Roche Bros, attending Boston College Hockey games (Go BC, Beat BU!) and Norwood Theater Plays, following Boston sports teams, holding his dog Maya and singing songs with his mom. Matt was positive he would win Publishers Clearing House, always on his IPAD. Matt was proud to be a graduate of Norwood High School Class of 2012, where he received a "golden diploma" for his exceptional determination and perseverance.
Matt never missed a chance to say "I Love You" to the important people in his life. Matt left a lasting impression on everyone he encountered throughout his life. During the course of Matt's life, everyone he met was considered family to him.
