Matt as we all know was a good guy, had a heart of gold. Wouldn't do a single thing wrong to anyone unless they deserved it. I know we'll all miss him so much, so I made this group so we could all stay together, and get through this together. As Matt would say "Never Give Up." Feel free to post anything, just not hate.. If you're a hate please don't join this. We don't need that... Matt Courneya May 8th, 1990 - August 31, 2011
