I'd never met Matthew personally but like the person before me I'd met him through Facebook and we used to play Pokemon and shared other interests together. He was such a kind soul and he even helped instill more self-confidence in myself. It was such a shock to see what had happened and I send all my best wishes and condolences to his family and affected loved ones. You were such a great friend to me and I wish I'd kept in touch over those years. I'll miss you man.

I’ve never met Matt, but we became friends over a Facebook group years and years back. He was always a very intelligent and kindhearted guy, I always enjoyed having conversations with him. We both liked a show called Dragon Ball Z, and talked about it all the time. We hadn’t been in touch in the last few years, and when I went to check up on his account I have found this. I’m really sad to hear about this, Matt was an amazing person from what I knew and he deserved better. Condolences to his loved ones.

I miss you so much, babe :(

Matt was on my team for AmeriCorps NCCC. He showed a lot of promise and made some good friends here. He did incredible work with Habitat for Humanity in Tuscaloosa, AL. I know he and I didn't leave on the best of terms, but this was devastating to hear. I hope he's at peace now and I am so sorry to his family. He was an incredible person and I am truly sorry for your loss.

It was a bit of a shock for me to hear this news. Me and Matt were friends around 9th to 10th grade. I remember we sat next to each other in Science class and hung out in Video Production class, and we have some fun chatting and making jokes. Eventually we just kinda drifted apart around 11th grade because I stopped seeing him around as much, but I remember those times we had. RIP Matt. I wish we kept in touch a bit better.

Matthew was a good friend of mine through elementary and middle school. Matthew was true to himself, loyal to his friends, and highly intelligent. His sense of humor was a welcome break from the monotony of school and many of his peers valued that enormously. I wish we could have had Matthew around longer, but Matthew left valuable lessons behind for us in his 21 years. The best we can do to honor his memory is to continue exhibiting the quality character traits that he had: honesty, loyalty, and humor. To Heather, Kortni, and the family, please feel free to contact me if I can do anything to help alleviate the burden of Matthew's passing while you are occupied with grieving and funeral arrangements.

Mat made 9th and 10th grade of highschool a WHOLE lot more enjoyable with our philosophical talks and observational comedy in our PE class and others. Rips my heart out that it had to end here. I hope he knew who all would remember him and hold him in high regard, even those of us who haven't been in contact with him for a while. He definitely made an impact on my life. Rest easy brother.

A sympathy card was purchased for the family of Matthew Dylan Anderson.

My heart is broken for all of you.

Sorry for loss praying for your family ! I'm here for you always.

Heather my heart goes out to you and your family! I can’t even begin to imagine what you are going through! Just remember I’m always here if you need anything!:pray::skin-tone-2::pray::skin-tone-2:
