Puerto Vallarta

Matt and I were friends through Matthew and Leda Wright.  Matt came down with a group of us to vacation in Puerto Vallarta, and I'll always remember him as he was there when I proposed to my fiancee, Beatriz.  And he was not the only one to be stricken w. a bout of "intestinal infortitude" (aka turista) on that trip (see Julia, I'm backing up the "dos" story).  Although I was hit pretty bad with it, poor Matt got it way worse than me!  

The day of Matt's memorial was a huge eye-opener for me and I learned so much about him.  Hearing stories from his brothers in Sigma Pi reminded me so much about my own fraternal experiences.  I also never realized how much of a devoted music fan or an introspective, spiritual person he was.   

I went through my digital photos and found a few candid moments of Matt to share w. you.  Hopefully they'll bring you a laugh or a smile.

I wish I could've gotten to better know Matt in the way that everyone spoke of him that day.  People who are that special don't come along often in life, and we all would benefit from having more people like him around.

We'll never forget you, Matt. 

Sincerely,

Ed Moore
