Memorial for Matt
People are calling Frontier Foods which is across the street. Buying flowers and the manger puts them on the truck. This is amazing and beautiful yet so sad 😞 💔

Gawd I hate this happened😞 Please let this be a reminder to all the nit pickers, & negative nancies: BE KIND. We are not the sum of our mistakes. And you can always turn things around. Would love to see this sub turn into a place of positivity for the Brown’s & not so snarky.

I would say many were way worse than just nit pickers and Negative Nancie’s unfortunately. Many were straight up aggressive and disgusting bullies.

This is so sad. Wherever Matt may be I hope that he's found the peace and kindness that he didn't have in life.

Oh please. 🙄 Nobody can make someone relapse. That's on him and him alone.
It's terrible that he relapsed, yes, but keep in mind he only showed you what he wanted you to see. Blaming someone for his relapse shows he couldn't or wouldn't take responsibility for his own choices. He was offered help so many times and he refused it at a cost not only to himself but others around him too.
His friend (Tom?) gave him such wise words and has such an open, non judgmental heart. It's a damn shame Matt didn't take him up on his offers of help but at the end of the day, Matt was in charge of his own choices and fate.

Interesting how someone who kept telling him to do what he did suddenly cares… guess guilt will do that to someone..

Matt really loved his followers and thought of us all as friends. The loss of Matt really hits home...a lot of tears have been shed. I am deeply heartbroken for him and for the loss of Matt. .Deep down and openly Matt shared his good soul and personality to spare. He was a good man and unfortunately struggling with addiction and other issues brought him to a very sad place. May the Lord embrace Matt now as he did life itself. We will miss him forever. 💔

Never forgotten Matt. There was never a dull moment around Matt. Miss you buddy💚 Bullying has no place in my world it would be prosecuted with life changing ramifications and the president would be just accountable for doing it as your average joe or jill.

There is a supermarket with flowers that you can call. The manager has been taking the flowers across to his truck

u/Exact_Increase526 1d ago
Do you happen to know the name of the supermarket? I'd like to call and order some over the phone as I am in NY & would really like to send some flowers to his truck.

This one kind of hit differently for me. My husband has battled addiction his entire adult life and I saw so much of his struggles and behavior in Matt and really hoped that he would be the exception and not the rule and find sobriety and recovery. So tragic

mental health is usually the reason people become addicts unfortunately. We seek to numb our feelings because we feel it all way too much and usually that means we care about all the things way too much. It can be a blessing and a curse. He was so damn positive and encouraging to others who needed it even when he was in a dark place. These are usually the ones who need support the most! We smile through the pain, laugh and joke and spread smiles hoping people won't see how bad it really is. We are different and misunderstood in so many ways.. I dunno man this one's gonna take some time to get thru. God bless everyone grieving rn. All love ❤️

Never have I been this torn up about someone I didn't personally know passing. Matt had a way about him that made you feel as though you really knew him. I'll forever miss his, "Hey friends!". Wish this was all a bad dream. It hurts so bad knowing he was hurting so bad. Rest in peace Matt you were one of a kind and you are so missed. I wish he knew how truly loved he was while he was still here. 😥💔
