Matthew,
I can't believe it's been over ten years since I have heard your voice and yet I can still hear it fresh in my mind! I went to the beach tonight and all I could think of was you. The sound of the waves, the light of the moon, getting eaten by mosquitoes...all I could think of was how much I miss your embrace. I saw some teenage kids on the beach, I wonder if they will find their first love and know it is real the first time they lay eyes on each other? We did that very thing and despite how crazy people thought we were we loved each other anyway! I miss late nights on the phone and I even miss our dumb disagreements! Life is way too short sweet man! I wish you were here next to me and I long for our reunion in heaven one day! You were incredible and I miss you all the time! It doesn't get easier with time and I have never found what we had, but though it was brief, I thank God we experienced it for a few years at least! Who would have believed a boy on the beach would still have my heart 14 years later? I knew it was real then and I love you even more now! I love you so much Matthew! I miss you all the time! I'm still your agape!

Matthew, you are still such a big part of my heart! I think of you often, and I while I know you are in a better place, I can't help but continue to miss you! I miss our talks, I miss knowing you would answer when I call. I miss knowing you could fix anything! You were amazing Matt and you will always be in my heart! It's been 12 years and I still love you just as much as I did the first time I saw you on that beach! We will always have Galveston and the precious memories! I miss your laugh and your smile, know that you are still very much loved and cherished! I love you!!
Your Agape!

I just want you to know that I still miss you and I think about you every day. I have a beautiful daughter now and I wish you could meet her. I also have an amazing family. I know that you are smiling down on us from heaven. I miss you Matt and I always will. It is so hard sometimes because I still have a habit of thinking that you are a phone call away. I have so much that I want to tell you and so much that I wish you could be here to share. I miss you Matt. You never knew how much you impacted my life, you truly made a difference. I know that God puts people in each other's lives for a reason and I know why he put you in mine. I wouldn't be who I am today if it hadn't been for you. Thank you for everything Matthew. I love you and I always will. I miss you more than words can say. You will forever be cherished. I can not wait until Seelie (my daughter) gets old enough for me to share stories about you with. I wish you were here. I love you!
Your Agape!

Matt, I found this poem at work today and it made me think of you. I miss you so much. Tell everyone up there hi for me and i will be seeing you! God saw he was getting tired And a cure was not to be So He put His arms around him And whispered, “Come with me.” With tear-filled eyes we watched him Suffer and fade away Although we loved him deeply, We could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating. Hard-working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best!
C
Matt, you have made such an impact in my life. It's just the little things you would say or do that made you so special to me. I miss your smile and eveything about you. I know you are in a better place now and you have no worries, I can't wait to see you again! Love you, Candis
S
Matt, I miss you so much! You were always there for me when I needed you and you always look out for me. I remember when people would ask if we were related and we just started telling them yes. You once gave me a dollar bill that you had signed for my birthday. You had put on it that I was the greatest, well Fowler you are the greatest and I was so lucky to have been blessed to have known you. I think of you everytime I write my name. You are my brother and I love you! I will always remember you and you will never be forgotten. Love little Fowler
S
hey Matt i miss you so much! i remember the last thing u said to me was how much u loved my gpaw red Cooper i miss you and love u u were such a sweetheart and u will never be forgotten love somer cooper
N
i am sorry for your lost, i never knew him but he was the best friend to my girlfriend, Jennifer Clark and he met so much to her that i know he had to be a good guy
J
Matthew, How can I even put into words the way I feel? Let me tell you, it isn't easy! I cant thank God enough for putting you in my life. I'll never forget seeing you on the beach for the first time. When we finally met I never thought that we could possibly have what we had. You will always be the most important guy in my life. You taught me so many things in the few years we had together! You were always just a phone call away when I needed you. No matter what time of night or day it was. I will never forget getting eaten by millions of mosquitoes while we told each other how we felt about each other for the first time. You told me so long ago that I was your agape...and I hope you know that you will forever be mine. I guess the hardest part of you being gone is that since we hardly got to see each other it just sorta seems like you're really busy. I forget sometimes and I still think you're gonna be home when I call. I can still hear your voice on the other end of the line. I know that so many people thought we were crazy for even talking when I lived so far away and they all said that we would never make it, but they were terribly wrong! We did make it, and you were one of the best friends I'll ever have! I know that if we managed to be friends after all that time and all the miles apart that we will definiatly be hanging out in heaven someday! I promise that there will never be a day that goes by that I wont think of your smiling face and loving heart. I can never tell you enough how much I love you and I can never repay you for the many things you have done for me. When I told you I wanted to be a rodeo queen and so many people doubted me, you told me that I would succeed. When I said that I wanted to go and see you last October but I didn't think I had enough money you prayed about it with me and I got to see you for the last time. Anytime I had a problem or a doubt in my life you were right there beside me telling me to be strong! Now...don't think I won't remember you picking on me or the times we used to bug each other, but they only made us stronger! Oh yeah, Odessa finally got a Buffalo Wild Wings so now people dont think I'm crazy when I tell them about our experience there. lol! And just so you know...no one in West Texas knows what in the heck a pistelleto is, so maybe one day when we're all hanging out in heaven you can explain to some of these folks what that is. All I know is that I aint about to eat something with a name like that coming from a carnival. Thats another thing...next time I go to a carnival, I'll remember not to wear painful shoes, in case we have to walk another 6 miles to the dang gate! Anyways, I still have your pictures, letters, hat, shirts, necklace...(all but your draws) lol and they constantly remind me of you. I still talk to your mom, and I will for the rest of my life. There arent many people who I can just crawl up into their bed and watch tv with and talk to like I've known them my whole life! Janice Fowler is definatly one of the few that fit that description. I love your mother with all my heart and I will always be there for her. She is the reason you were in my life and I can never thank her enough for raising such an awesome MAN! I promise I will always be there for her! I love you with all my heart Matthew, Ira, Matt, (or whatever name you are going by today) lol, and I will always thank God for putting you in my life. I know that we will be together again somday and when we are we'll have wings so at least we wont have to drive 8 hours to see each other! I love you Matthew and I will for eternity! Love Always, your AGAPE! Jennifer Sue Clark

Fowler your achievements can never be forgotten. You have always been on top of things your entire life. Janice, I love you with all of my heart and i wish for you the best, God Bless You. Matt wrote me a letter about making a better person of myself and I did. He changed my life in so many different ways. A week before he passed I saw him and I told him i was going to the Marines. He was so excited to hear that I was listening to what he had put in that letter. I looked up to Matt, because I knew that he had a heart of gold. I loved him like a brother and so did the "crew", I will see you soon Matt and we will go fishing together with our fathers, just like old times.
M

Matthew, You will be missed but never forgotten, you will forever be in my family's heart. I love you Matthew and will see you again one day. I want to thank you again for bringing my son Andy into my life a year and a half ago. If it weren't for you my family and I might not have ever known him. You were about 4 years old when we first met. It was Christmas at Miss Kitty's house on Ave D in Beaumont. I had only been dating Melissa about 2 or 3 months. Melissa and I got married the following year and I've seen you at nearly every family gathering since. It's been a blessing to be a part of your family and I'm greatful to have known you and to be blessed with your love and kind smile. Till the next family gathering.... Love, David, Melissa, Travis, Andy, Brittay, & Amanda Duvail

My heart is broken for the loss of Matt. He meant so much to so many. My children and I met Matt at Freedom Fellowship Church. He was a friend from then on. I will never forget his sweet smiles and loving hugs. Matt had a special gift for touching the lives of others in his quiet shy way. There are no words to express the sorrow I feel for the family and friends of Matt. You are in our prayers.....

Matt was the recipient of a scholarship established in memory of my brother. I met Matt and shook hands with him at a scholarship awards ceremony at Silsbee High School last spring and corresponded with him later in the year about obtaining funds for enrolling in the fall semester at Lamar University. My contact with Matt was brief, but it was obvious that he was a special young person who was blessed with a loving family and special friends. May your memories of him always remain with you.
D
Matt, you will be missed greatly! I thank God that he gave me the opportunity to know you. You will always be in my thoughts. Love ya!

Janice..I don't have to tell you what a wonderful boy Matt was.He was one of the politest kids I have ever came across. Always a yes mam & yes sir. He was a true friend to our daughter Allison Greco. He will be missed by our entire family. God has definitely picked a rose for his bouquet in heaven.
L
To Matt's family, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you know that Matt looks down on you all from Heaven and tells you not to cry for him. Do not stand over my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep; I am a thousand winds that blow, I am a diamond glint on snow. I am the gentle Autumn rain, I am the sunlight on ripened grain; When you awake in the morning's hush, I am the soft upflinging rush, Of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the soft starshine at night. So do not stand over my grave and cry, I am in your heart, I will never die.
E
We will miss you Matt.

Janice I want even try to say it will get better because I don't know. I just know that you will have a lot of friend to help you when you need someone to talk to, yell at or just to set and hold you hand. Your son was one of mine. I will miss him very much and his shy smile. Remember we love you and God be with you Love Letrica Stanley Wright and Vinson Wright.

Janice, Words can't express my sorrow... You know how much I love Matt and you. Our consolation is knowing he is with our Lord and Savior. Blessings to you..........
