To the Phillips family: I am so deeply sorry to hear of Matt's passing. Matt was a tremendous person. I always said "Matt could be the President of the United States one day" and truly meant it. He had it all - the intelligence, the wit, the personality, the charisma. I'll always remember him and the wonderful Destination Imagination memories. Sending you all hugs and prayers.

To The Phillps family we are sorry to hear about Matt's passing. He sure enjoyed the short amount of time he had before the accident. I remember his performances in band, choir, and drama club since his Harding days. He worked tirelessly in the concession stands from that time on. He was a fine young man.
