Passing of a friend....

So we arrived at church on Sunday and were told that a member of our ward had been killed in a tragic car accident on his way back from working in LA. His name was Matt Bachrach and he was an amazing person. Paul and I have only know a few people to ever pass away and this has really hit us hard. It has made us realize how fragile life is and how we should all live for today and not take things for granted. Paul really thought the world of Matt and how much they had in common. Matt left behind his wife Brenda, their 6 year-old son Brigham, 3 year-old son Hunter and Brenda is also 8 months pregnant with another son. They were such a wonderful couple and Paul would often say on Sunday's that we should call the Bachrach's and see what Matt was making for dinner because he was such a great cook. He was the life of a party. Very fun loving and one amazing piano player. Paul would always ask him to play and he was one of those people who couldn't read music, but just sat down and played and it always touched you somehow. I think so highly of Brenda and what a great mother she is and how wonderful her children are. Brigham is already like a little man and just talking to him you think he is a lot more grown up than he is. Little Hunter is a doll. Brenda calls him her family cheerleader and he really is. Everything to him always seems so exciting! I know that Matt has been given a greater purpose to be called back to our Father in Heaven so soon, but I know he is also up there talking to his unborn son and making sure he will come down and look out for his mom and brothers. We will certainly miss him!
