🎸 Meet Matt – A Heart for Service, A Life Full of Music 🎶

We’re proud to introduce Matt, one of the newest members of our team, who joined us in September 2023. With a warm, empathetic spirit and a background as unique as it is inspiring, Matt brings a compassionate touch to the families we serve.

Before stepping into funeral service, Matt followed his passion for music — playing bass, drums, and singing in several bands. Along the way, he also worked closely with individuals with disabilities, which deepened his calling to help others and give back to his community.

In 2023, Matt achieved a major milestone, graduating from WVU with a Regents Bachelor of Arts and minors in Music, History, and Human Services. Now pursuing his degree in Mortuary Science from the Pittsburgh Institute of Mortuary Science, Matt is committed to serving with care, integrity, and creativity.

When he’s not studying or assisting families, you’ll likely find him building terrariums, playing video games with friends, or brushing up on his Spanish.

We’re honored to have Matt as part of our team — his heart for people and thoughtful presence make a difference every day. 💙
