Matt was a sports enthusiast and loved all sports.  His favorite football team was the Carolina Panthers.  He loved basketball and his favorite team was the Duke Blue Devils.  His favorite baseball team was Boston Red Sox.  He remembered players' names, jersey numbers, teams, coaches, the whole nine yards and could talk about sports with the best of them.  One of the highlights of his life was going with his uncle Tim, grandpa Leo, and Zack Rosette to a Broncos/Raiders game in Denver, Colorado.

He loved to listen to Joe Rogan on You-Tube and loved to tell everyone about his insights he thought important or newsworthy, and really enjoyed the competitive banter.  He enjoyed playing sports video games with his nephews and visiting his nieces.

Matt had a great personality and loved telling jokes and funny stories just like his Dad Lenny and always had everyone around him laughing. He loved rodeos and country music, some of his favorite singers were Easton Corbin "his cousin," Jon Pardi, Morgan Wallen just to name a few.
