Dear Family,
My heartfelt condolences to all of the Davis Family. I was in the class of 83 with Matt. I was driving up to Michigan during the summer of '82 and Matt put me up for a couple of nights. He made me feel at home immediately, and took me diving from the towering banks of river along with the locals; later that night we were pulled over by the local sheriff for driving a little wreckless on a motor scooter. These memories I will always hold dear. He was always so good natured and kind. The world is now a better place because of him.
With Love...Matthew Archnageli

I am truly sorry for your loss. I use to be the family housekeeper when Matt was about 10 years old and I remember cleaning his room and thought he was a very sweet boy. Again I am very sorry.

Trena and Jessica, You are in our thoughts and prayers. Although it's been a while since we've talked we still think of you often. I know the girls would love to see Jessica again and if you need someone to listen or just be there, please call me. Matt always had such a nice smile, I can only imagine how much he has to smile about now. Take Care! Christine

Davis family - I was deeply saddened when I learned yesterday of Matt's passing. Steve Grubbs, Matt, and I had some great times while Matt was home from Berkshire and at UK. What a fun person! I wish I would have stayed in touch (I did not realize Matt lived in Lexington or attended Porter Memorial. I too look forward to seeing Matt in Heaven.

Trena, Jessica, John Mark, Lisa and Lezlie...I cannot tell you how shocked and saddened I am to hear about Matt. He and I were big play buddies when we were younger always goofing around at Mamaws or the "big" house on Bath Avenue. I treasure the memories of our childhood silly games so very much. I know he and Ginger are truly rejoicing as he walked through heavens gates but I also know that each of you are heartbroken. Know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. Trusting in God and his plan.....Love, Keri Jo
