My Eulogy for Matt. - *WARNING: may be graphic.* -

**WARNING: Might be graphic to some people, due to you see his body for the first couple seconds.**

Matthew Allen Duensing

May 17, 1988 - December 11, 2009

You may be gone, but you will NEVER be forgotten.


The Eulogy:

On December 11, 2009 Heaven gained an angel. Matthew Allen Duensing was born on May 17, 1988 with firey red hair and crystal blue eyes. From that date on - his friendly demeanor and wide smile charmed everyone from the old ladies at the park, claiming his name was Jon Smilely, to the lovely ladies, saying his red bushy hair was the key to his success. He was the typical big brother, telling me that when we went to the ice cream shop - that there was a roach in the fudge, and when my boot fell off in the snow, that he had to saw my foot off, due to frostbite. He took care of me though, telling me that if anyone ever picked on me, called me names, or hurt me in anyway - for me not to worry - hed take care of it. And he always did.

Over the years he struggled with himself and his own desires. It became his 24/7 job. He would call me at odd hours of the night when most people were asleep. Telling me all his secrets and inner conflicts. I would always tell him Who are they to say who you are, or what you can do?. He would quietly agree and ask for my advice on other problems he was facing at the time. Wed talk until the sun rose above the Earth, and it always felt that time just slipped away from us.

To all the people who loved and cared about Matthew, who moan his sudden death. I want them to understand, how he felt. He always told me he never wanted to die a failure. Just the thought of it made him sick to his stomach. He tried so hard to help others, even though it didnt always seem appropriate. Of all the times God could have whisked him away - he refused, because he didnt want Matthew rising to Heaven, with the feeling of being a failure. So he left him to try, and even though he fell - time after time. He rose up stronger with the will to succeed. The day his breathe slipped away, he no longer thought he was the failure he once assumed he was. He died a success. His life - was a success. My brother, was a hidden angel walking among us.

This is the only memorial I will be putting up for a while: every photo, video, recording of him is like a stab into my heart.

Rest In Peace Matthew...I love you.
