I am a receptionist in the Leukemia department of MD Anderson and I feel very honored that I got the chance to meet Matt, although I wish it could have been under different circumstances. I am so deeply saddened to hear the news of your loss and will miss seeing him and the Boeer family here at the clinic. You are all in my thoughts and prayers

Dear Bill and Kathy,

Although I never met Matt, I can very much realize the extent of your loss. I know that it was a long struggle and you never gave up hope.

The two of you are an inspration to others.

Bill and family,

I extend my heartfelt sympathy to all of you during this most difficult time. Treasure all the wonderful memories. I pray God's comfort be with you.

Tammy Ginn

It's a hard thing to accept and understand when such an outstanding young man is taken. All of us at Alton Elementary, where his mother-in-law works, are so very sorry and sad. Our sincere sympathy is felt for each of you.

Very sorry.

Dear Erin, Kathy, Marla, and Bill,

Please know that you are each and all in our thoughts and prayers. He was a marvelous young man from a marvelous family. God, please grant us all the wisdom to understand the incomprehensible.

Dear Family,
I couldn't believe what I read when I opened the Breham website. I taught Matthew at Alton Elementary. He was a wonderful student and had such a great personality. Since I have left Brenham I don't keep up with "my kids", but I do try to watch the website and see if I recognize any former students. I am not sure how this tragic event happened, but I am so very sorry. I was so proud to read of all of Matthew's accomplishments. I knew as a young boy he would be very successful. I wanted you to know how hurt I was to read this news and that I have wonderful memories of Matthew as a young boy. May God bring you peace knowing that he touched many lives, including mine.

Kathy,
I was deeply saddened to learn this morning about Matt's passing. When we reconnected (however too briefly a few years ago) and I was fortunate to meet Matt, it was immediately clear he was a very remarkable person. His passing is a loss for us all. May his short life be a reminder to all who were touched by his presence of the power of a sincere smile and caring heart. My heartfelt condolences to Erin, Marla, you and all your family.
Love,
Debi

Dear Boeer Family-

Our condolences,

P.S. Marla I don't know that you will recoginze my married last name of Gurka but we played soccer together in High school.....Shannon Cochran #09.

Dear Bill, Kathy, Marla and Erin,

How saddened we were to hear that Matt had lost his battle. We will always remember the many happy years that Matt & Lauren were in school together, even through their college years. Lauren and Matt remained close friends during those college years and she would call and email home about him often. Our family and church have been praying for Matt and will continue to hold you close to our hearts in the hope that you will find God's peace and comfort.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Pat and Charlie Kelm

Our hearts and condolences go out to your family at this most difficult time. We pray that God in His love and mercy will console your family in your time of grief. We know that God in His infinite wisdom has a plan for us all. We do not know as to why things happen but we do know that God has promised us that "whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." We pray that God places His hand on your heavy hearts so that your loss will be eased. Praise be to God that He sent Jesus to die for us to forgive our sins to allow us to spend eternity with Him.

Kathy,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss, my thoughts are with you and your family. I will be thinking of you all.

Kathy and Family,
I am truly sorry for the loss of such a beautiful person! Matt and I played in the band together in HS and he was such a wonderful mentor and friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. May God hold y'all close during this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathy to all of you. You are in our hearts and prayers. May God wrap you in his arms and carry you through this very difficult time.
Paul, Janet, Brian and Jason Barnett

Erin, Bill & Kathy,

I believe God must have needed an expert gardener, a person who always cared so much for others, and just an all-around great guy to do his work in Heaven. I also believe that God works on His time, and as hard as it is to not question why He would allow someone so young to join Him, I know that the three of you, your entire family and Matt's closest friends have the spiritual faith to guide you all through this. It probably doesn't make it any easier, but it at least makes it possible.

Matt brought so much to Southwestern, and his earning of the Brown Scholarship, Southwestern top scholarship, even before he was a student, let us know very early who he was and what he would bring. Matt enriched all who came in contact with him, and we are all better for having had the opportunity to know him.

Most of all, one's life should be marked by it's quality and not by it's length. No one had more quality than Matt! May God's blessing lift you on Eagle's wings and be with you in the days ahead and forever!

Mike Leese

So very sorry for you loss. My prayers and thoughts go to you and the family.

Dear Boeer and Bennet families,
Our hearts ache at your life changing loss. We think of you and remember you in prayer, asking God to bring peace.

Bill, Kathy, Marla, Erin and family:

Our hearts are breaking for you. Our fondest memories are with your family playing soccer, be it with Matt or Marla. Please accept our deepest sympathy. We are praying for you.
Remember all the good times and know that Matt is not suffering anymore.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you forever.

Love

Donny, Debbie, Donny, Jessica and Heather Watson

Dear Erin and Boeer family,

We are sorry for your loss. Matt was an unbelievable person and we are so blessed to have so many great memories with him. It was a pleasure playing soccer with him and watching him dominate anybody he faced.

Our thoughts and prayers with your family.

Dear Kathy, Bill, Marla, Erin, and the rest of your family,
We are so sorry for your loss and so grateful to have known Matt. He was one of those rare people who truly left the world better for his having been here. May time ease your pain and let the memories that you have of Matt bring you joy again.

Our Sincere Sympathy,
Dennie and Mary Ann Riffett

So sorry to hear about your loss. Your family is in our prayers.

To the Boeer family,

From the short period I've known Matt from work, I've always felt there was something about him that was special.

I still remembered the weekend he ran into Erin. He was so happy about having caught up with her again after high school, and with the engagement soon after, you knew it was love.

Matt has always rubbed everyone in a good way. He has a way about him that was sincere, comfortable, and natural. You always felt good around him.


Jean

Dear Matt Boeer Family,

I was very saddened to get the news of Matt passing away. We worked together at PKF Texas and I still remember the first day he was introduced to us. He was very kind and had a radiant smile. He was a wonderful person to work with. I was honored to have had the opportunity to work with him and will miss him very much.

Our hearts & prayers go to you.

May you feel God's arms around you during this time and always. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our hearts and prayers go out with and for you in celebrating Matt's life and remembering his days here with us.

Dear Boeer family,

As a daughter, wife, and mother myself, I could not be sadder that our dearest Matt has passed away.

We worked together at PKF Texas and he was such an intelligent, curious, dedicated, and positive young man.

His smile is still clearly in my memory and inspires me everyday. I was so fortunate to know Matt and he will live in our heart forever.

Janet Qian

Cathy,Bill,Marla,and Erin,

We are devastated to hear about Matt. We've been praying for Matt since we heard about the diagnosis. Our prayers are with your family during this time of loss. May God embrace you and give you strength and comfort.


Janet and David Fahr

Dear Erin -

As a young wife myself, I struggle to understand everything you are going through right now. Your husband was known as a strong rock at PKF. He was an inspiration to many! I remember when he first came to PKF - he stood out. He was known as a kind man that was really smart. When we learned of his diagnosis, it hit PKF like it was one of our own family members, because he was.

My husband and I have been praying for you and Matt throughout the last 2 years. The pain is probably unbearable today - but, as you know, the reunion in Heaven will be very sweet. Hold strong my sister!

Boeer family,

We are so saddened to hear of Matt's passing. We will always remember what a lovely person he was and what fun we had getting to know him back at BHS. Matt always had a great smile and was so friendly to everyone. We are praying for you all and for the comfort, peace, strength, and healing only God can provide.

Boeer Family,

My heart is filled with saddness to hear the news of Matt's passing. Every memory I have of Matt from school, band, and church are all ones of happiness and Matt's warm smile and wonderful personality.

May God be with you during this time.

Erin and the Boeer Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Matt's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May the Lord wrap you in His arms as you grieve.

How brave, all of you have been, including Matt and, especially Erin. God has chosen to relieve Matt of all the pain and discomfort. What a wonderful place for him to enjoy the loving embrace of the Lord.



Erin I know God has great plans for you. He will take this grief and change it into untold wonders through you. You didn't go through this trial without reason. God has a plan.



Sending you prayers for comfort and peace...knowing he is in a better place.



Love and prayers,

Ole Granddad, Jean and Donna

Erin, Boeer, and Bennett families:

We are so sorry to hear of Matt's passing. You are in our thoughts and prayers during this time of grief.

Ashlea, Justin, & Jake

Tragic! I am saddened to learn of the death of such a fine young man. Please accept my condolences. May you find comfort and peace in the resurrection hope.*** we pp. 27-28 A Sure Hope for the Dead ***

It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. That pain is not necessarily erased by being told that your loved one is up in heaven.

The Bible, however, holds out a much different hope. As we have previously noted, the Scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with your dead loved one in the near future, not in an unknown heaven but right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. And at that time humans will have the prospect of enjoying perfect health, and they will never have to die again. ‘But surely that is wishful thinking!’ some may say.

What would it take to convince you that this is a sure hope? To believe in a promise, you would need to be certain that the one making the promise is both willing and able to fulfill it. Who, then, is it that promises that the dead will live again?

In the spring of 31 C.E., Jesus Christ boldly promised: “Just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his [Jesus’] voice and come out.” (John 5:21, 28, 29) Yes, Jesus Christ promised that millions now dead will live again on this earth and have the prospect of remaining on it forever under peaceful, paradisaic conditions. (Luke 23:43; John 3:16; 17:3; compare Psalm 37:29 and Matthew 5:5.) Since Jesus made the promise, it is safe to assume that he is willing to fulfill it. But is he able to do so?

Less than two years after making that promise, Jesus demonstrated in a powerful way that he is both willing and able to perform the resurrection.

“Lazarus, Come On Out!”

Erin and the Boeer Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God keep His loving hands around y'all during this difficult time.

Dear Boeer Family -

My thoughts are with your entire family at this time of loss.

I wanted to take a moment and express what a wonderful and inspirational indiviual he was to myself and others at PKF. He will truly be missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Boeer Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Matt was a great student and kind young man. I am so sorry for your loss. May God comfort and protect you during this time of grieving. Matt has touched so many lives and will always be remembered.
Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Jeanette Kominczak

Matt and your whole family are part of our BEST memories of the boys' younger years. As parents, we can hardly imagine the grief you must feel. Please know how sad we are for your loss and that we will not forget to pray for you in the weeks and months ahead. With love and sympathy,

Dear Erin, Kathy, Marla and Bill,

We are all devastated to hear of your loss.

May God cover you with His peace and grace.

Our prayers will be with all of you.

Bill and Kathy,

Our toughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. We always enjoyed Matt during the time our boys played soccer. Bill you where a great asset to the team as coach and it was a great time for all the "Thunder '82" group.

Matt was such a positive person and an honor to have known during his short time on this earth.

I will say a prayer for Matt, and your family during this difficult time.

Sincerly,
Tom, Fran and Kris Gore

Dear Boeer Family,

Matt was an amazing person and I enjoyed so much the time I spent working with him at PKF. I am a better person because of the time I spent with him.

Erin - he loved you so much and had so many plans and dreams about your future together. It breaks my heart what has happened to him.

He will be greatly missed.

Melissa Hopper

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Dearest Bill, Kathy, Marla, Erin and all of the family,

One of the smartest, nicest, most well rounded individuals anyone could hope to meet. My heart goes out to his family.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Boeer, & Erin,

I just wanted you to know how great I thought Matt was. In my brief interaction with him at PKF both at work and playing basketball I just found him such a happy, smart, and caring person.

I remember him coming back to PKF for a little while, and talking with him, and giving him a hug in the hall way.

What a truley special person he was. Sometimes I don't see the fairness in life, but I am always thankful for interactions with great people. I am truley thankful that I got to know the special person that Matt is.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. It was a privilege seeing Matt grow up to be such a fine man.

Matt was a wonderful person in every way imaginable. I have memories of Matt from high school, being the most kind person, never meeting a stranger. The world is worse off for his passing. To Erin and the Boeer family, know that you are in our prayers.

The Frey Family

To the Boeer Family and Erin,

My heart is sad for the loss of Matt. There are many fond memories of Matt and Marc on the soccer field together. My prayers are with you all at this time.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. Matt was a great brother and friend to you. With thoughts of peace and courage for you and your family.

Dear Erin, Boeer and Bennett families,
My loving thoughts are with each of you in the loss of Matt. Please accept my heart felt sympathy. There is so little one can do or say, but it may help to know so many others deeply care.
Erin, I am so sorry.

My deepest sympathy,

Debra,Rick, Lacy and Luke Eckert

Adam and I are so sorry to hear about Matt. He will be greatly missed. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

My heart aches for you...I have no words. I am so sorry.

Your friendship will be missed. My heart goes out to you all.

Dearest Erin, Bill, Kathy, Marla and families,

Words cannot express the extreme sorrow in our hearts -- please know that all of you are in our prayers. The loss of Matt is so painful, but the happy memories of him will always be with us.

Matt was such a valiant warrior -- I know there is a special place for him in Heaven. And, he had special loved ones waiting to greet him as he walked through those gates. They will all be walking with you and carrying you to give you strength for this path.

I am so sorry, but we will not be able to attend Matt's services because of my health issues and Hurricane Gustav -- however, we will be in Brenham with you in spirit and prayers.

All of our love,
Arlene and Rick Poss

Dear Bill, Kathy, Marla, Erin and familes,
I have no words to make the lose of Matt easier, I wish there were such words.
I want you all to know that my prayer and thoughts are on all of you.

Kathy, Bill, Marla, and Erin:

Only a hurricane would keep us away from attending Matt's services, and be there for you, and Hurricane Gustav is doing just that. We would have to travel through LA and MS, and with the evacuations, the traffic would be impossible. Also, Mobile is still a possibility of being hit.

Please know that my prayers are with you for strength and for God to help us all understand why things happen the way they do. Erin, you are an exceptional young lady, and I hope I have the pleasure of meeting you someday.

God Bless,

Jerry Willard

Erin, Mr. and Mrs. Boeer, Marla, and family,

Our hearts and prayers go out to you, we are so sorry. We are so lucky to have shared so many good times with Matt at Southwestern and after, from the soccer field, to class group projects, to having fun at the lake. We recently got married and will never forget that we would not be together today were it not for Matt! We miss him already.

Much love,

Erin, Kathy, Bill, Marla and family

Our hearts are broken for you at this time. You and God were Matthew's strength. He fought so hard for these past two years. Words do not adequately express our feelings but please know our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. We will be unable to attend the services but will lift you up in prayer during this most difficult time.

All our Love,

Anita and family
