I have always believed that everything happens for a reason... Until now.. I just cant wrap my head around this... 21, your life was just beginning and I have no doubt you would do great things.. You certainly left your mark in the hearts of many.. A life taken way to soon, you will be greatly missed, never forgotten... Rest easy, my friend. I will miss our conversations and inside jokes... Until we meet again, much love to you.... Always, Michele

I can not believe you are really gone! Im honored to have been given the opportunity to watch you grow into a fine young man. I can still remember Bill and I spending our first New Years Eve together watching you at my grandparents house when you were just 5 years old. Also our wedding day when you, our junior groomsman got “lost” and almost gave mom a heart attack because she didn’t know where you were, only to be found standing up front next to Bill. I’m going to miss all your crazy stories and FaceTimes will never be the same without you jumping into our conversations. Love and Miss you!!!!

Matthew,
I still can not believe you are really gone! To say I was in disbelief that morning when dad called is an understatement. I remember having to ask more than once because I didn’t believe it, of all people you gone. I remember when you were younger taking you to the mall and everyone thinking you were my kid. Even though you lived miles away it never seemed like you were out of reach. From the many conversations about music, to video games, and movies. It was never a dull moment when you were around especially when we picked on mom! I will miss our dual cannon balls in the pool and our random conversations about nothing just because. I still can’t believe I’m never going to be able to see you again, life just isn’t fair. Life will never be the same without you. You’re the best brother anyone could have ever hoped for! My heart aches every time I think about you. We always found a way to have fun no matter what! Hopefully you and Pop are up there causing trouble!
Love you
Bill (Brother)

Your journey through life May have been short, but it was filled with many memories.
You had a heart of gold that touched so many people in so many different ways.
You will forever be on our minds and in our thoughts.
We had done so many things from scouting to fishing to hunting, we were just recently getting into
building firearms with mom being nervous but supportive those days i will forever remember and continue
in your honor.
Thank you for being my son,i love and miss you so very much.
LOVE, Dad
~ Arthur (Dad) peterson - August 15, 2019
Words can’t even begin to express my sorrow for such a great loss in your life Linda & Pete. Ive watched Matthew grow up and never thought we would be saying goodbye to such a young member of our Junebug family so soon.
The memories of our yearly get togethers for the birthday parties will always be in my heart.
Love you all! ????

Know you will always be in our thoughts and we will cherish our memories of you forever.
Love you,

I don't even have the words. You will always be my 'Baby' my 'Bubba'. My heart hurts so bad, for those that really knew us, knew the special close relationship we had. I have no idea how I'm going to go on without you. I'm so glad I have soooo many memories of all the things we did together, places we went, laughs, cries, etc. that I will cherish and carry with me, but I wanted many more years. You became such a fine young man even with all the struggles life through at you, you were one strong kiddo. I could go on and on but I can barely see through the tears. I've talked to you everyday and will continue, cuz I know you hear me. I know Nana & Pop were waiting for you with open arms and all the other's we knew and loved. Have fun fishing up there with your Pop. I love you to infinity and beyond XOXO -Mom
~ Mom (Linda) Peterson - August 14, 2019

Looks after Nana and Pop Pop. And say hi to my dad for me.. love you big guy

Linda & Pete - Our heart breaks for you on the loss of Matt. Know we are here for you when you need a shoulder.
Once a June Bug, Always a June Bug!!
Love you guys - The Winn's

Dear Linda & Pete ~ This is the hardest journey of all and I am so sorry that you are on this road. My memories of Matthew are when he was little and you guys helped coached bowling of course ~ and after you moved watching him grow thru facebook. I could tell that he turned out to be one of the finest young men and that is a compliment to you. I know that you were always there for him and his activities which means you have a lot of fun memories which is the best to have. I know you will always treasure them and be sad that there won't be anymore ... yet always remember how he lived, how he laughed and share it with others ! I lost Jon at 21 also but even knowing how it ended I would have never given up that joy of loving him as Im sure you feel the same. Days ahead will be bittersweet but soon you will see and feel signs from him and it will give you some peace knowing he is not as far as he seems.
~ Lori Keller - August 14, 2019
My favorite memory is when I met Matt in high school. He told me he liked my buckle and that he’s a crazy redneck too. He told me “Jess I think we’re gonna become the greatest of friends” and since then we always been cool friends. He’s always tried cracking jokes especially when I was upset, and when it came to lunch time we had our “group”. Matt got along with everyone, and I will forever cherish the memories.
Miss you buddy ??
My heart goes out for his family
~ Jessica Rios - August 14, 2019
Our Hand Grenades on Bourbon Street were pretty good! So glad for that hurricane! We were able to spend some days together. I love you Matthew! Until we meet again <3 give my momma a hug and kiss for me. I know shes taking good care of you like she did with your Dad when he was little :)
~ Kristina Matthews - August 14, 2019
So manys prayers and love for the family. God truly gained a soldier the day he got Matthew.

Linda, Pete and family,
I’ll always remember your wonderful Matthew and the loving and caring person he was. Whether it was fishing with him, taking him to see Harry Potter, spending the day with him at Hershey Park or our trip too Wildwood. I’ll always remember how much he loved Brandon and playing with him. I’ll always remember him running up to me and giving the biggest hugs he could. Most of all I’ll remember what wonderful and loving parents you both were to him. He loved you both dearly. My sincerest and most heartfelt sympathy to both of you and your family.
~ Ticia (Tish) Miller - August 8, 2019
I haven’t seen him in so long but rip bud we miss you ??????
~ Haylee Guerra - August 7, 2019
So Sorry to hear about Matt. I can still see him running up and down Wolf River and stopping at mom's to say hi. Love and hugs to the family.
~ Susan Elsasser - August 7, 2019
Matthew, My heart is hurting so much today. You were always like my little brother! I love you and the family so much and always thought of you all like my family. Please keep watch on the family and tell Nana and Pop that I said hi and I love them.
~ Deborah Miller - August 7, 2019
I will always keep the memories we have close to my heart and will never forget the the great time we had. All our cruises we went on. All our Disney trips and watching me act like a little kid. The times when we just came down to visit and took all the day trips. The talks we had and laughing so much. When you came to visit us and went out for wings and enjoyed ever one of them while listening to music. And most of all. I will always remember that little boy who was our Ring-bearer in our wedding and you walked down that walk way as proud as you could be. And you did a great job. I love you so much.
Love always. Aunt Donna
~ Donna Guerra - August 7, 2019
There are never words to take away the pain of losing someone you love, much less your child who was just beginning his life. If it helps at all, Matt had the best parents the world has to offer: kind, patient, loving and people who never gave up or stopped fighting to meet Matt's needs. His life was the very best it could be and I hope that brings comfort to you both, Linda and Pete. He knew he was loved and he loved you both. I'm sorry I don't have anything more to offer you; you have given so much to me, Linda. Thinking of you and here for anything I can offer. <3
~ Cat Sentell - August 7, 2019
Thinking of you all and your wonderful, amazing son, Matthew. We all share in your loss and your grief. We send all our love to you all.
Bethany, Abby, & Family.
