good memory / Rach (Couz) I will always remember the day when Matt "Ran Away" from home and he came to my house(next door). He had brought a backpack with him and the only things that were in it were his underwear and socks!! It was so cute. He had practically dumped his entire underwear/sock draw into his back pack lol. A few hours later matt walked home and we all had a laugh cuz it was so funny how he had only packed those things. I am sharing this memory because it is a good one of matt and how funny and cute he was. Miss ya matt!!
What Cancer Cannot Do / Karen Pac (Mom) Cancer is so limited... It cannot cripple Love It cannot shatter Hope It cannot corrode Faith It cannot destroy Peace It cannot kill Friendship It cannot suppress Memories It cannot silence Courage It cannot invade the Soul It cannot steal eternal Life It cannot conquer the Spirit
As time goes by there isn't a day I don't think about you. I think about your family and friends and how they are doing, but most of all I wonder how you're doing up above. Today we had a huge thunderstorm but I just said it was you and the band practicing your music :) I really hope you are giving your family signs they need it the most, when i go to sleep at night i see your smiling face and it makes everything ok for the moment. You have the best friends in the world so many people have been raising money for your family and giving the best support, I'm so happy this beautiful website is up it lets us all know you're still here in peoples hearts and memories forever don't think for a minute your not. Love you so much Rest In Peace Matt <3
Even though I never met Matt, I can see what a terrific guy he was by seeing the lit candle's and tribute's to him on this website. I really wish I could have met him! I know how much pain all of you are feeling, but by keeping those memories alive will be very helpful for all those hard days. I know with my loss, the memories helped me. Take little baby steps and when your ready for a big step just remember Matt will be right beside you to catch you if you fall, and if you do, that's ok too!
God be with you and if you need anything please give me a call.

A poem for matt.. / Andria Curtiss (Friend) I wrote this poem for Matt, and Karen(his mother) the wonderful, strong, caring person she is put it in his casket...
A life so short that was just beginning
Quickly came to an end
When god reached his arms down from heaven
And swept them under him
He took him silently in his hands
And brought him to a better place
Where pain and suffering does not exist
Only does peace and happiness
Emotions and sadness surround us now
As we try to cope with this loss
But this is a time to celebrate his life
And remember the memories within us
I bet he is playing his guitar now
As he watches from the heavens above
Looking down at all of the people
That he will continue to watch over and love.
A life so short that was just beginning
Quickly came to an end
Matt Pac will be incredibly missed
And never forgotten by anyone.
In Loving Memory of
Matthew S. Pac

missing you / Sue Pac (Aunt) Matt, there is so much that I will miss about you-playing drums downstairs or playing the guitar and asking me to guess what song you were playing...asking me for rides and our talks on the way to and from wherever you needed to go (mostly to George's music store!)...how you loved my brownies and would eat about 5 or 6 of them at a time...and your smile, something I will never forget. Every day I feel the pain of your loss, and every day I say a prayer that you are happy in heaven. Until we meet again, I will keep you close in my heart. All my love, Auntie Sue.

Car wash / Rach (Couz)
Matt: We had a car wash for u this past saturday. It was a lot of fun and I know you would have liked it. The band played and we washed so many cars. I stood on the side of the road holding up signs and trying to get people to stop. Some people just stopped and handed me money and didnt even get their car washed. Ur mom and dad came at the end because we surprised them and we handed them the money we made. We made almost $700!!!!! Thats amazing. I know it will help out ur mom and dad a lot. I felt really good helpin out at the car wash and knowing that what I was doing would help the family. I still miss you and I always will. I think about you everyday and all the memories we have shared. I went and saw "batman begins" last night and I thought about you a lot because the last movie we watched together was "Batman forever." You would have liked the new movie, lots of action. I'm sure you were in the movie theater with me last night though :). Well, please show ur mommy a sign, I know ur working on ur dad first because he is skeptical, but ur mom really wants a sign from u. Please show me a sign too, I promise not to be scared. I love you forever couz, -Rach

Letter From Heaven / Letter From Heaven To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say, but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven, here I dwell with God above, There are no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love. Please do not be unhappy, just because I'm out of sight, Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night, That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you, it's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone. As for your family,I will comfort them and they will be here later on. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man." God gave me a list of things that he wished for me to do and foremost on the list was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, put the day's chores to flight. God and I are closest to you...in the middle of the night. When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,because you're only human, they are bound to bring you tears. do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. remember there would be no flowers without the rain. I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned, but I'm afraid that you wouldn't understand, One thing I've learned, is that as you give to others, it will be given back to you. If you can help someone who is in sorrow or pain then you can say to God at night..."My day was not in vain." So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick them up, as on your way you go.... When you're walking down the street and you have me on your mind, please know that I am walking in your footsteps only half a step behind....and hold on to this thought always.....WE WILL ALL BE TOGETHER IN HEAVEN FOR ETERNITY!
To the Pac Family and Friends / Carolyn &. Harold Smith (Church Prayers.... ) We wish to express our heartfelt sympathy for your profound loss. Sincere wishes from us to you....that time... and life itself will erase this immediate pain, and you will only celebrate all of the wonderful LIVING that Matt experienced in his all-to-short life.

*You Will Always Be in My Heart* / Lindsay Neal (Friend) *An awesome musician, an even greater friend but by far the personality wins, Matt you were one in a million i never met a person sweeter than you, even in your time of pain you were nothing but smiles and shared nothing but love.
