Matt recalled how on the morning of the crash “[Christina] kissed me and she said, ‘I love you.’”
“There was pain,” he said of dealing with grief. “My focus immediately went to my children. You start to say, ‘All right, she would want me to carry on.’ She would want our kids to have happy lives, which I don’t know it’s possible, But I’m gonna try. You know, if I had it my way, I would have my wife, and I would be supporting her. But that’s not what happened. You know, it’s been a rough year. But… here I am.”
Matt called his late wife a “very humble, powerful, beautiful human being.” They were married for 15 years and shared three kids.
“I would like to make sure that my children see that, in spite of the grief that we’ve been through this year and that grief is not gonna define who we are as a family and that my children see that you have to find joy in life and you have to continue,” he said. “And if this can anyway help my children to chase their dreams, then I’ll take it.”
