I am so sorry for everyone who knew Matthew, but especially for Emmi, Bill, and the rest of the Labue and Brophy clan. I remember playing board games with Matthew at several holiday gatherings and chatting with him at the recent family reunion. I will miss him greatly and pray for love and support for all who knew him and are grieving at this difficult time.
I’m so sorry to the Brooks family for the loss of Matthew. I hung out with him a few times in college with the other Phi Delts, and remember him always being a full-hearted, happy guy with an incredibly infectious laugh. Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences during this difficult time <3
