Growing up in Raintree together was awesome! Pinky mad it a lot of fun! I remember taking his Bronco to my first ever Pointfest, which lead me to be a concert fanatic. Pinky was always texting new songs to listen to, it was usually the only texts I could understand from him, he used to suck at texting LOL. I can't count how many fun lake days we had at his house playing washers and swimming. He was super quiet but once you got to know him, he's as goofy as could be. He was the BEST person to watch play Guitar Hero or Just Dance on the wii because he got so into it! He also had another side, he was actually an amazing listener and a great person to talk to.
To his family & awesome friends-I'm truly sorry for your loss. This is an unbelievable tragedy. May Pinky live on through our memories until we meet again <3

Pinky was our very best friend and he meant so much to us. We had the best times of our lives with him; playing poker, hanging out at the lake, swimming and boating, watching ufc fights, eating hotwings, being a goofball with our kids, arguing over whose turn it was to karaoke, playing pool, texting us funny random things throughout the day to make us smile, listening to music(me telling the boys to turn it down!) enjoying a “cold beverage”(as he would say) birthdays, weddings, new years, halloweens, etc. He was the greatest honorary uncle to our kids-always bickering with sis, teaching bub things and being silly with Cody. For the twins first birthday, he handed me their gift and it was the sweetest ever(he knew how much I loved Little Critter books when I was a kid, so he got them the big book of stories along with the stuffed animals-Little Critter for Leo and Little Sister for Willow)
He was the best man at our wedding and will forever be the best man in our hearts.
We love you so very much Uncle Pinky

We’ll always miss you Pinky, & remember you forever. You were Scott & Ashley’s BFF, so you’ve always been there. I can’t count how many good times we all had together & how many times you helped my family with everything & anything. We were lucky to know you.

Dear Connie, Mark and family. I wanted to reach out and tell you how very sorry I am. My heart hurts so much for all of you. You raised one heck of a wonderful son, who touched the lives of so many. I cannot look anywhere in my house, or on my property, where Pinky hasn't completed some home project, and improved this home in some way. Every wall, light fixture, sink fixture, floor, etc. Do you know how many times he just showed up to shovel my snow ...without me even asking? I am so blessed he was in our lives. I am praying for you all during this impossible time. He was so loved by many in this family. With deepest condolences, Laura.

Matt is my brother! He was always a quit guy but once you got to know him he said the funniest things. If you called him and asked for help, he would be there. He is the best gift giver, just so thoughtful! He loved listening to music and finding songs that were not always typical that he connected with the lyrics, he loves the lake and going to the casino. He loves his niece's and was so proud of them. He has some of the best friends and I know thats because he is such an amazing friend to them. I have a lot of stories about Matt but I
I would like to share one story....
Not to long ago he texted me and sent me $12, said "Go get a 10$ scratch off and a Powerball ticket. On me ..love you." So I did! When I was picking out the ticket I saw "triple red" made me think of his red beard and got it. When I got home I scratched it off and sent him a picture telling him I won $27. He said "no, try $77!" That made my month! Few days latter he went and got the same kind of ticket and he won $77 too! He is going to be missed by so many, but his big heart will never be forgotten.

You always said you'd take over the world. You left too soon to do that. I love you to the moon and back and my heart breaks that you are gone. You had a big heart and willing to help out whenever your family or friends asked. I just want to know why this happened? I love you and miss you always.
