So sorry to hear about Matt. He was a good friend of the Darling family growing up on Beaver Street. He was always there for my brothers going up to his place in Vermont. He was here for us when my brother Dwayne passed. I’m sure they are reminiscing now.

I'm at a loss as what to say...Matt was always there for me in early years. From him & Beaver putting out my chimney fires, to him plowing my driveway! Then there were the times when he tried out his demo cars past my house. I'd yell at him, but he knew his smile & dimpled cheeks would get him off the hook! He was a flat out awesome guy & always met me with a big hug! My heart hurts along with all of you. Sending each & every one of you my love & prayers. Burdy, Tonya, Todd & Bo

So sorry to hear of Matt’s passing. We met in 1970 when I had my first experience at “Swansons Camp” in Wilmington, VT. Run by his father John “Swanny” I have always cherished the experience through the 70s. Whenever I listen to early Led Zeppelin, I always think of partying with Matt and his Beaver St. friends. Good times. You’ll be missed old friend.

Many great fun memories of a once in a lifetime friend from the start on Beaver St many many moons ago. Always respectful , infectious smile, fun as hell. Someone I will never forget . Thank you, Matt, for just being the super guy you were. So sad to learn you are gone, but you will always live in many of the hearts you touched. And there were very many.
