lawrence matz

 

Lawrence had a unique gift of being able to make everyone feel as though they were the special one. The life and soul of any party, he would always stand out in the crowd. Nothing was too much for him and for his family and friends, he would do just about anything for them. He lived every day like it was his last, cramming more into his all too brief time with us than most of us can expect to achieve in a lifetime. He enriched so many lives with his vibrancy, charm and love and will never be forgotten. For me, he really was like the brother I never had.

 

As engraved on his memorial stone, he taught us all the true meaning of courage.

Lawrence Matz sadly passed away last summer at just 58 years of age after a courageous struggle against pulmonary fibrosis.

The charity which he held close to his heart was Breathing Matters
