Today I found out that Matthew Peterson passed away May 19, 2009. I don't know how or anything yet. I'm trying to get his parents address and the address of the people he lived with if anyone wants to send something. Here is the link to his obituary. http://www.legacy.com/saltlaketribune/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonID=127567690 For when they take his obituary down I'll post what it says too.

Matt was such a great guy. He was smart funny talented. We went on a couple dates while I lived here. He came over randomly a couple times. We went to Macey's for grocery's once haha he was just a funny funny guy. We went to the Christmas Devotional with Melissa, Richard, Sarah and Sarah's date, I always forget his name... I'll post some pictures of him. You'll see he always had a smile on his face. He was very mature for his age. He was one of the good ones.

He was a very very attractive young man. :-)

hey this is Mathews sister. I would love to talk to you personally. Is there like a private email we could talk. My email is aprils.big.heart@gmail.com

I appreciate your good comments on my brother. He was the such a funny happy person. You know he had a whole box of achievement awards from work. He was smart. I wrote his obituary I felt it was the last good thing I could do for my brother. Growing up he was the only friend I had really. I loved him dearly. I often lay awake at night just remembering all the goofy stuff we did together as kids. I grew apart over the last few years as I married, and he moved back to Utah and then went on a mission. When he returned we both had busy life's, but he often called me and we just talked about the things we have in common funny memories, and bad memories, and clothing, and how clean we both are. Unfortunate I don't know much about the older grown Matt, and I was hoping to get as much insight into what was going on his life. I would just love to talk to a friend of his. I am just so lost because I feel the only person who was there for me as a child is gone. Apart of me just died that day with him. Love to talk
