I am very sorry to hear about Matt, as I have known him for many years.
We had our differences for a short time, but worked through them.
We never know what God’s plan entails nor do we understand it in
many cases. My prayers are with all of you, especially the children,parents,
and other family members.
May God bless you and give you strength through this
difficult time.

So sorry to hear about the loss of your son

Sincere condolences for those Matt left here. I will pray for Matt.

my heart is with you through these very sad times.
To his children: To say he adored you is an understatement. Not sure if i ever told you that I lost my mother at the age of 16, so i understand the mixed feelings. Alot of sadness and alot of worry of what will happen. It will be ok. As these days will be hard and the tears and heartache may seem endless, he taught you to be strong and to overcome anything. His presence in your heart will get you through these next few weeks, months. And it will be ok. I promise.
To Lisa: I love you and dont have the words to tell you how sorry i am. You were the one, and he was the one. You two shared something most people never get to have. I know your sad Lis, and i am here for you. Be strong.
In my prayers,,,

I am so sorry to hear of Matt’s passing. I remember Matt as a child at Fuqua and he was friends with my boys, and spent a lot of time at our house, when he was young. I have lots of fond memories of the Tooloose boys. My heart is saddened by his passing, and I am sending my deepest condolences to the family.

Dale & Family… I did not work with Matt at Pfizer, but I did with his dad, Dale. Dale, I am sure your outlook on life and your good humor will help guide your family through this trying time. I am sincerely sorry for your loss.

Dale, LaDonna, Uncle Don, Ruth Ann and the rest of the Tooloose family. Several years ago I believe I met Matt in IN at Uncle Don’s place. To Matt’a children, it seems as thought you wont be able to exist without your dad, I’ve been there, but it will get easier with time. To the Widow, please remember that you need to be taken care of too and let someone who loves you do that. To the parents, you will always have memories of him as he grew and I am sure that you have great stories, please find a way to share them with his children and grandchildren. To the grandparents and the rest of the relatives, find old pictures of Matt and write or record the stories about him before you forget. These stories will mean the world to his widow, children and grandchildren to look at those pictures of when he did something for the first time and to be able to listen to or read the storie that goes with it. I know you will make it through, you are Tooloose’s of course. Peace be with you and you are all in my prayers.
