I always enjoyed talking with Matt and working together.

A funny memory from that time was when we were working on the final build of a snowboarding game. The art assets were final, nothing new would be added. Matt was optimizing memory to fit only those specific assets.

A manager proposed an unplanned, zero-hour addition of content to the already the finalized assets. It would have fouled everything up.

When the manager asked Matt if the change could be made, Matt just said, “Why?”

He was calm, but his tone had a little “Are you kidding me?” energy.

I’ve thought about that moment often. He distilled a whole rebuttal and stood up for himself with that one word. The change was abandoned.

Thanks, Matt for being a cool person. I’m glad our paths crossed and I’m better for it.

We have had several opportunity's to have Matt at our home, we have enjoyed him as one of our own, we remember Matt a very kind person, we enjoyed learning some of his games and spending time with him and learning things from him, we were so impressed that he put up and worked on the satellites, wow I had never met someone like Matt smart, kind, humble, we will miss him, Lara and April had an amazing guy to call there BROTHER!.
Love you, Matt. Brett & Lisa Thomas

Matt was always a joy to be around. At work he was one of my favorite people and beloved throughout the team. I remember just seeing him in his office would cheer me up. I knew I could always stop by for a fun chat about interesting stuff with him. He was super smart but never judgmental, never negative, and always had kind of a twinkle in his eye. He had a lot of wisdom to dispense but never lectured and was always humble. Same outside of work, he was always great to invite to things because he was just fun and chill. I'll miss you man.

I remember Matt most for his sharp wit and unassuming nature. We were on the same team for a math competition in junior high school - and though we worked and competed hard, I remember the event more for the fun and laughter I had with Matt and the rest of the team. He left people, places, and situations better than when he found them. A good man, taken far too early. You will be missed!

It's strange that a picture popped up on my phone last week of when all of Lisa's family came over here for Christmas dinner and Matt was here and it showed the picture of him sitting on the couch. I feel so devastated for both of you Laura and April. I am so sorry for the loss of your brother that I know you both love so much. You are in my heart and my prayers as you go through this very hard time. Kerin
