Mathew Thomas Jopke

For some reason, Matthew had been on my mind lately. I am so very sorry to hear of his untimely passing. My two youngest sons were longtime friends of Matt's. For several years in a row William and Patric went with Matt to his Grandparent's home for Matt's birthday. They always had a great time, and adored both Christine and the Grandparents. The funny thing is, no matter what the boys had planned, Patric ALWAYS ended up hurt at some time over the weekend. It got to be a running joke! Matthew will be missed by all of us.

JESS I love you. You were his lover friend and you made him whole made him feel his worth. I will always feel you in my heart like my beautiful Matt. Goodbye my wonderful grandson

To Jess a n d her family You all know how proud he was When he was little we would ask him what his name was and we would tease him with different sounds of his name and proudly he would look at us and say ME MOTT

We have so many memories with Matt and Jess in them so it is hard to choose 1. The last night that we hung out with them we went to Pinseekers because Matt and Jess enjoyed going there and of course Matt and Mike (my bf) had to see who could get the most points. LOL. "Come on Henry" Matt always called Mike that. He won most of the games lol. We ended that night at our house doing Karaoke with them in our basement. Matt and I sang some Ludacris and Travis Tritt together and I will never forget being so surprised he knew all the words. LOL. Jess and Matt stayed at our house so late that night it was like time didn't exist. I wish it didn't. I thought we had more time. Y'all were always like family to us and I am so happy I got to have Matt in our lives! Our daughter's loved him and love Jess so much! He will be missed so much!! I could write a book with all the memories we have. I will miss him calling me Giggles and his infectious laugh! We love you so much!

With deepest sympathy,
