Our deepest condolences to the family. As neighbors for many years we not only lost a friend we lost a role model in our lives a man who would give anyone the shirt off his back in the time of need. Matt may you now look down on family and friends as a guardian angel and continue to show those who you have left behind a paved path in life to follow so they can continue to share what they've learned in life from you. R.I.P
Mr. Traiger was an amazing mathematician and Vice-Principal. As a boss, he consistently treated my mom kindly and with respect. Our family will always honor his legacy.
My sincerest & deepest sympathy to Annette & family on the loss of your dear husband, father & grandfather. RIP Matt.
We miss you every day! You laughter, your wisdom, your tinkering around the house, your fixing things, your political passion, and most of all your love! Not a day goes by that we don't think of you! We would not be where we are today, without your selfless love and pouring of yourself into our lives to support, challenge, and help us grow. You are the best dad anyone could ask for. I know you are in heaven right now surrounded in awe and love in a pain free body. Thankful that the pain is gone.! XOXO
