Mandy I'm so sorry....Beau, Em and Daddy E, will help you through this. He was my son too. He is with your mother in her arms now. she will take care of him as she still watches over you. To all of the family, I deeply share my hurt for everyone. again I'm so sorry. I love you Matt.
Between the memories at shows we made, all the long shifts at Journeys, and all the pizza pretzels you'd have that I'd always steal half of... there was never a dull moment around you. I miss you, Matt. You left us too soon, you were an amazing person and a great friend.
It's tradgic to lose such a wonderful person so soon. My thoughts are with your loved ones and everyone close to you. You're in a better place now, watching over all of us.
R.I.P Matt.
Mr Emmitt, Mrs Kay and family
I am so very sorry for your loss. You are all in my heart and prayers. May God give you comfort and peace in the days to come.
I've known Matt since middle school. We were good friends in high school and I'm sad that it's been years since we've even had a small conversation. I’ll always remember you as a charming, intelligent, funny, and sarcastic kind of guy. You were never the kind of person who judged too quickly or made anyone feel like they were inferior--definitely the kind of person who found a way to build up a person’s confidence up rather than down. Matt, I remember you as being such a great friend to talk to, and I always looked forward to seeing you. You and your quirky ways always made me laugh and smile. I loved that you had both a funny and sensitive side. I always looked forward to the new music you'd introduce me to. Matt Henderson you are an awesome person. I know you are resting peacefully and watching over all of your loved ones.
To Matt's family, with a heavy heart I am sincerely sorry for your loss. "Grief can be so difficult, but our special memories help us cope." My prayers and thoughts are with you.
So sorry to the Henderson family for your loss! Pray that in time you can find some peace knowing he is in God's Arms now!
Matt — I was deeply saddened to learn that you had passed away. I haven't seen you in years, but I remember that you were a nice, smart boy who seemed capable of accomplishing many things. I feel great pain for your mother's loss.
Our sincere sympathy to the family of Matthew. May loving, caring thoughts remain in your heart forever.
God bless you, Matt.
Into your hands, Lord,
we entrust our brother.
In this life you embraced him
with your tender love;
deliver him now from every evil
and give him eternal rest. Amen.
Please accept our sincere condolences and deepest sympathy.
Your loss of Matt, who left us at such a young age, must lay heavy in your hearts.
May you find strength and courage in loved ones and strangers that surround you to move forward in peace and serenity. God bless you.
Kaye and Emmitt, We are so sorry for your loss. You are in our prayers.
My deepest sympathies to the entire Henderson family for the loss of this beautiful young man. May God keep and guard him and grant those who loved him peace during this difficult time.
With my love & prayers
Deborah Giaquinto
Sorry! so much
We are so sorry for your loss. We will pray for all of you that God will strengthen and hold you during this time
Matt- I'm so sorry you are gone, you were such an amazing person and so much fun to be around! You've always been such a good friend not only to me but to Kelsey. No matter what you were always there for her & I'm thankful she had you as a friend. I'm so glad that we got to spend time together just a couple weeks ago while I was in Arkansas, I had such a good time with you that day we hung out just the two of us. I'll forever cherish all the memories we had and we had plenty of good, funny & even crazy times together!! You will forever be in my heart. Rest in peace Matt, I love you!!
Matt, we were friends since we were young and I miss those care free days. You were such a sweet person, loved your friends, and could talk about soccer for days. Praying for your friends and family as they handle your loss. Thank you for the memories.
Always your friend,
Haley
My heart is heavy as I write this because I can't believe Matt is gone. I think of that little boy I called my grandson and although as years passed, I never forgot him and what he meant to me. I hope that he is at peace and know that Fran is looking after him just as she did in life.
