The garage he shared with his brother Jason was our hangout spot\u2014loud, chaotic, smoke-filled, and full of life. Matt blasting his stereo, Jason shredding on his electric guitar\u2026 those were the days. We clicked instantly, and from that moment on, it was nothing but unforgettable times.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"766\" data-end=\"1254\">In 1990, when my Malibu broke down, I sold it for scrap and used the money to buy 12 lawn tickets to see Rush on their Presto tour at Irvine Meadows. Matt and Jay were there, along with a crew of friends\u2014it was one of those nights you never forget. Then in 1991, Matt returned the favor, taking me, his girlfriend Angela, and her friend Jessica to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Los Angeles Sports Arena, with Pearl Jam and Nirvana opening. Truly one of the most epic concerts ever.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1256\" data-end=\"1376\">Through Matt, I met people who changed my life\u2014including my wife. That\u2019s just who he was\u2014a connector, a light, a friend.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1378\" data-end=\"1488\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Please keep his family in your thoughts.
