The final update from
Matt Burnsworth…Matt Burnsworth is now in the kingdom of heaven. May his memory and legacy be eternal. I know his friendship will be for me. From the video visits of us both lifting each other up to keep going for our beautiful families to just hearing his laughter at stories of my hubby, kids, and fur babies! He is and will always be a true inspiration, testament of faith, and a hero for all with disabilities! Sending love and peace always to you my friend!
“To know him was to love him” – I saw someone post this, and it truly is a perfect quote to describe Matt and my father. Two men who shared a lot in common. Selfless human beings who fought long hard battles, not for themselves, but for others around them. Through their battles, they constantly were humble and generous. They lived their lives to help others. From starting the Eleven Thirty Foundation together to helping people pursue their dreams, donating money, rescuing dogs, and turning them into amazing service dogs for amazing people… That is only a small portion of the love and joy they spread.
Rest in PEACE to the most amazing human being! I am so blessed I had the chance to meet you,
Matt Burnsworth. You showed so many people what it means to live life, and always see the best in everything. You fought a long, hard, and terrible battle and you deserve nothing but peace, happiness, and to be pain-free. God definitely has a special place for you up there, for how well you spread his message here. I am so grateful my dad met you. You showed him how to live, allowed him to find his passion, and created endless memories. I am so grateful you welcomed my Dad and me into your home in Vegas, you allowed me to create so many memories with my father. I cannot imagine the thing you and my dad will be getting into up there. I know he is at the gates, waiting for you with open arms.
I’m at a loss for words. Our dear friend
Matt Burnsworth passed early Monday morning. To say that he fought cancer long and hard would be an understatement.
More importantly, he lived faithfully and loved even harder. I promised Matt that when this day came, I would be excited for him. That’s what he wanted more than anything, for us all to be faithful and to celebrate his homecoming. He spent a lot of time preparing us for this moment. He promised me his pain wouldn’t last forever, the body is just a vessel… the soul is forever.
One of Matt’s friends used
#restinparadise and it reminded me that is exactly where he is now. I have no doubt my sweet sister Jennifer was there to greet him. I prayed a lot to God and to Jenny to be his guardian angel.
I will miss his laugh, his friendship, and that birthday sangria! Until we meet up again my friend…
Yesterday, I lost my best friend and brother,
Matt Burnsworth. We have been friends for almost 30 years – its hard to wrap my mind around not having him anymore. I got to speak to Matt on Sunday and the last thing he told me was amazingly the same thing my mama said to me before she passed “this is not goodbye, this is just see-you-later”. Cancer may have taken his body but nothing could kill Matt’s faith, kindness, love and spirit. Please keep his family and loved ones in your prayers. Although this has been a very long siege, Matt is just simply irreplaceable and will leave a lasting hole in our hearts until we see him again.
#seeyousoon my brother – I thank God for finally giving you the peace and comfort you deserve.
