We live in a day and age of spiritual tolerance; so to keep with and honor his traditions, there will be a pagan ceremony as part of the services. 

Matt and family attended a Pagan group, Northern Colorado Covenant of the River​. Over the years Matt remained good friends with many of the people of the Covenant. Being both his friend and his tribe of faith, the Covenant will conduct a ceremony honoring Matthew's spirit. We will share stories about how deeply he loved and how hard he tried. In closing, we will help his spirit to cross over with an Algonquian chant.

///  Due to the nature of his death, there will not be a coffin. The family has chosen to cremate his remains. Urns are being custom crafted for each of his children, so he will always be with them. ///
